FEW PEOPLE CAN say that they’ve followed up a Disney animated feature with a buddy comedy that involves, amongst other things, “going to China to get laid by the Chinese basketball team”. But for Adele Lim, co-writer of Raya And The Last Dragon and before that the box-office smash Crazy Rich Asians, no other film would do for her directorial debut. “My natural proclivities are nasty and ratchet, and my friends are that way too,” Lim cheerfully tells Empire. Those inclinations have led to Joy Ride, an R-rated comedy about four best friends who travel from America to Asia so that Audrey (Ashley Park) can track down her birth mother in order to close a big business deal.
