The new movie “Joy Ride” is another one of those productions that for reasons unknown, received very high critical opinions, and as a result, due to movie blogging, I wind up attending and wasting another 2 hours. In this case, perhaps because of the success of one of the worst movies ever made, from last year “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, starring mostly Asian women – this is another reason for the skewed critical opinions for this mostly bad and unfunny film.
The comedy within this movie is random, crazy, slapstick, and raunchy. The story is mostly uninteresting about a group of four Asian women friends who go on a series of trips and insane mishaps while traveling. This movie reminded me in some ways of “Girls Trip”, from 2017, which is a better movie than this one, with more funny scenes, especially involving Tiffany Hadish.
The Rotten Tomatoes rating for Joy Ride is way too high 91%, with my rating 65% – lower than the more reasonable rating on IMDB of 7.0 and a solid pass.
