Stephanie Hsu as Kat, Sabrina Wu as Deadeye, Ashley Park as Audrey, and Sherry Cola as Lolo in"Joy Ride."
And here we are. “Joy Ride” arrives courtesy of Seth Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures, with Adele Lim making her feature directorial debut.“Bridesmaids” serves as one blueprint, in a flexible, use-this-not-that way; “Girls Trip” provides another.
