Crazy Rich Asians cast cast members launch raunchy comedy Joy Ride

The trailer for the raunchy comedy Joy Ride dropped over the weekend and fans are already buzzing with excitement ahead of its release this summer, according to a powerhouse cast of Asian actors.

The film follows the two women as they journey to China in search of adoptee Audrey's birth mother, beginning with a ban on a 5 year-old Asian girl cursing out and punching a white classmate who calls her a racial slur. The two meet Audrey's college roommate Stephanie Hsu and Lolo's cousin Deadeye Sabrina Wu Traversing China together, and the two find themselves meeting hot guys, having their passport stolen, masquerading as K-pop stars, and inadvertently getting caught up in drug smuggling.

For us to get to do this raunchy, balls to the wall rated R, wild, unhinged movie, I feel like we have permission to make a mess and not be precious with our identity, Hsu said in a cast interview at the film's South by Southwest premiere. Our movie is not about so much more. It's just a fun time. The film is set to be released on July 7 and starred Crazy Rich Asians writer Adele Lim in her directorial debut. It is produced by Seth Rogen and includes cameos by Ronny Chieng, Desmond Chiam and Chris Pang.

Cola believes that it is one of its most important aspects because of the fact that it is unabashedly sexual. Joy Ride is a chance to rewrite the narrative, given Asian womens historical exoticization and fetishization in Western media.

Cola said during the interview that it has always been so extreme. This film is about reclaiming our sexuality and telling that story through our own lens, through our own mouths and through our own bodies. I think that's the number one goal here, to redefine the box we've been put in. A carefree film with Asian main characters is monumental in a media landscape that has so often served Asians as stereotypes or side roles, cast members said.

Park said that they were all very used to supporting characters. We were like, Oh my gosh, it feels like we have been filming a different movie every day, like a different genre. We were like, I guess that's what it feels like to be the protagonist in your own story.
