after watching the very first scene in the trailer for the upcoming comedy Red Band Joy Ride, you’re probably starting to think July can’t come soon enough. The story revolves around a group of best friends who decide to go on a trip China to learn more about the culture and find the girls’ long-lost mother. However, nothing goes as planned and they go on an adventure filled with parties, drugs and K-pop stars.


The opening scene sets the tone for the entire trailer, revealing a tiny Chinese girl who says the F-word to a racist boy. This makes it clear that the story will be a no-BS adventure type found a family tropes, and why they should not be dicks for immigrants and descendants have no time for school audiences. It said wheels up to China for one comedy It’s definitely different from what we’ve seen.

Joy Ride Brings some unapologetic fun

The Red Band trailer A good portion of the girls’ adventures earn their status by revealing a cocaine-related craze, as well as an unwitting mule story where they have to hide drugs everywhere to avoid the Chinese police. If you know what a “mule” is, you know where these drugs are going. If the trailer is any indication, Joy Ride turns unapologetic to eleven and delivers a Girls trip and Booksmart on steroids – which makes us all the more eager to check it out.
