JOY RIDE provides a few surprises, but more than enough bad dialogue and ridiculous coincidences for any one movie. While it appears that Lewis and Fuller learn their lesson about playing pranks on people, plenty of objectionable content fills the film. Foul language is the chief offender, with frequent obscenities and moderate crudities. Combined with a scene of teenage drinking portrayed in a positive light, the objectionable elements take any pleasure right out of JOY RIDE.
