Joy Ride

#ReclaimTheFrame with our special screenings of JOY RIDE, including FREE POPCORN and live performances! 

A hilarious and unapologetically explicit story of cultural identity and self-discovery centering four friends who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure. Following an important business trip that goes awry, Audrey (Ashley Park), an overachieving lawyer at a prestigious law firm enlists three unlikely but loyal friends on a journey across China to find her birth mother. Along for the ride are Lolo (Sherry Cola), her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat (Stephanie Hsu), her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye (Sabrina Wu), Lolo’s eccentric cousin. Written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and Teresa Hsiao (the writer / exec producer of Family Guy) and marking the directorial debut from Adele Lim (co-writer of CRAZY RICH ASIANS), JOY RIDE  is a laugh out loud, stereotype-busting, sex-positive, no-holds-barred story about getting to know, and love, who you are. All set to a banging Mando hip hop soundtrack, including a musical interlude of pure joy.
