One movie critics calls 'Joy Ride' formulaic in structure but uproariously clever and hilarious in execution, and easily the funniest movie of the year so far.
"Get in, loser, we're going to the movies," is what I recommend telling your best friend this weekend.
Directed by Adele Lim, from a top-notch screenplay by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and Teresa Hsiao ,"Joy Ride" begins with a playground flashback of young Audrey and Lolo meeting each other for the first time. A mean little boy bullies them for being Asian American, so Lolo punches him square in the face. And so begins a beautiful, unconditional lifelong friendship between Audrey and Lolo.
So that means when Audrey goes to China for an important work trip — her first time there since she was adopted as a baby by American parents — Lolo is of course coming along for support. Joining them is Lolo's cousin Deadeye and Aubrey's former college roommate Kat , who now lives in China as a successful actress.
To put it another way,"Joy Ride" is the level of raunchy, broad comedy the recent"No Hard Feelings" was going for, executed to perfection.The comedic timing here is some of the best I've seen in recent memory; Lim never lets a scene linger too long, or a gag overstay its welcome, like an"SNL" sketch that's funny until it's not anymore.
