While the 'Joy Ride' crew’s antics seem over-the-top, experts say that the raunchiness is profound, shifting power to Asian women and non-binary characters in a way that the comedy genre has often failed to do before.
July 7, 2023, 9:18 PM UTCIn the new debaucherous comedy “Joy Ride,” its four main characters split off into their own wild escapades for the night with members of a Chinese basketball team. There’s a threesome, a workout that gets down and dirty, a passionate night in a hotel room with former NBA point guard Baron Davis, and one really intense dance battle.
“In this movie, we’re the ones that are telling the jokes," she said."Asian women and nonbinary folks are telling the jokes. People are laughing with us, not at us.” As haywire as the movie is, experts said that it’s only shocking because it “explodes” the image of what many think Asian women should be. Rather than depicting them as the “delicate lotus blossom” that viewers have been accustomed to, or conforming to a"model minority" stereotype, the film puts the Asian American friend group’s desires on display. And their sweaty, frazzled and, at-times, “ugly” states of messiness are exposed.
“We probably associate raunchy humor with white men because they have the power to be anything. They can be proper, they can be raunchy, they can be anything,” Yuen said.to a tweet from a critic who claimed the film “objectifies men, targets white people,” joking that she needed the phrase “on a tshirt.”Yuen noted that such comments are unsurprising, citing the backlash that the 2022 film “Turning Red,” which also featured an Asian female as the lead, received from many white male viewers.
