Is Joy Ride on Netflix? (where to watch)

If you’re looking for something funny to watch, you should definitely check out the new comedy film Joy Ride. It’s now out, and tons of people are watching it. If you have no idea where you can see this movie, we’ve got you covered!

Adele Lim, best known for co-writing the screenplays for the movies Crazy Rich Asians and Raya and the Last Dragon, made her feature directorial debut with this film. Additionally, the screenplay was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and Teresa Hsiao from a story they developed with Lim.

It was first announced back in 2018, and in July 2021, Lim signed on as director and Emily in Paris star Ashley Park joined the cast. Later in 2021, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, Sabrina Wu, and many others signed on to be in the movie. Production started in October of that year and wrapped a month later.

It follows four Chinese-American friends as they embark on a journey across China in search of one of their birth mothers. While on their journey, they bond and learn what it means to know and love who you are.

Sadly, Joy Ride is not available to stream on Netflix at the moment. However, this doesn’t mean it will never make its way to the streaming platform. If Netflix acquires streaming rights to the movie, it could be added in the future. This just isn’t the case right now. For now, you’ll have to look elsewhere to watch this film.

However, we still suggest checking out some similar content on Netflix. The streamer has many comedy movies centering around a group of friends on its platform, such as Bridesmaids, Mean Girls, Wine Country and Someone Great.

As of July 2023, the only place where you can watch this comedy film is in theaters. You can purchase tickets to see the movie through websites such as Fandango, Cinemark Theatres, and AMC Theatres. It’ll most likely be available for rent and purchase on digital platforms at a later date.
