The new comedy film “Joy Ride” features a primarily Asian American cast and is getting a lot of buzz for pushing the raunchy envelope, something the actresses realized right away when they read the script.
This image released by Lionsgate shows Stephanie Hsu as Kat, from left, Sherry Cola as Lolo, Ashley Park as Audrey, and Sabrina Wu as Deadeye in a scene from"Joy Ride."
“When I got this part and I auditioned for it, I didn’t tell my parents that I’d be doing nudity because there was none for me in the movie,” Park said. “I was the only character who didn’t have that kind of scene and then all of a sudden, I became the only character who did.” “We loved eating together. Sherry likes to order dinner for everybody like it’s the first and last supper of our lives,” Park said. “And it’s the best. I don’t know how to eat any other way now, you know, family style.”“What’s fun is that we got to kind of bring our own sort of like experiences and strengths. I think we went into the recording studio after and recorded it. I’ve done that a lot. And we got to be there for each other,” Park said.
