About
You’ll likely enjoy Joy Ride if you want a big, raunchy road-trip comedy with plenty of heart and friendship; Not for you if you dislike explicit, sex-obsessed humor or prefer tamer buddy comedies like Girls Trip or The Night Before.
Pros: raunchy, women-led comedy; heartfelt friendship; colorful China trip | Cons: explicit sexual content; some jokes miss; pacing dips late
