Joy Ride is one hell of a thrill ride to watch, Mar 19 2002
This review is from: Joy Ride (Widescreen) (DVD)
Joy Ride is one hell of a thrill ride to watch. This movie is a great movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Paul Walker (Varsity Blues, The Fast And The Furious) gives another great performance as Lewis. The rest of the cast including Leelee Sobieski (Deep Impact, Never Been Kissed) also gives a good performance as Veena, and Steve Zahn (The Object of My Affection) brings some great unexpected laughs to this movie as Fuller. Now Lewis and Fuller are brothers and Lewis is traveling cross-country to pick up his girlfriend Venna but after Fuller gets out of jail Lewis decides to pick him up on the way. The two play a prank on the CB radio fooling a Trucker man in to thinking Lewis is a girl who goes by Candycane. They set up a meeting at a motel for the guy but when the girl knows as Candycane does not show up all hell breaks loose. This guy and his Big Rig soon end up chasing these 3 down and refuses to give up. I will not say any more other than this is a great movie that just keeps you wondering and on the edge of your seat. Most of the guys will like this movie cause it's not a chick flick, it's just a great film that rocks. Check out JOY RIDE cause it is one hell of a great movie ride.

for me,Joyride is a very good film.it combines elements of suspense,
action and humour skillfully.the story involves Fuller (Steve Zahn)and
Lewis (Paul Walker)Thomas,two brothers on a road trip,who play a cruel
prank on a trucker.so,the trucker decides to get revenge on them and
terrorize them.meanwhile the brothers have picked up Venna(Leelee
Sobieski)who has no idea what she is getting herself in for.However she
soon finds out as she too becomes terrorized by the trucker and will
play an important role in his revenge.basically,what follows is action,
suspense,some humour and some scary moments.this movie is a real nail
biter.the acting is convincing and the film is well paced.i highly
recommend it 4.5/5

This movie is about two brothers who go to get there girlfriends. A couple of scenes into there journey they pick up a C.B. radio and start to fool around with it. They come up with this plan to pretend that they are a hot chick called Candy Cane. they fool some guy into believing that this girl is real. When they check into a hotel, there is a grumpy guy that they set up for this Rusty Nail (Candy Cane's lover) to meet up. The next morning the brothers find out that the grumpy guy had been severally beaten by Rusty Nail. They feel bad so they admit into the C.B. that they lied and that there was no Candy Cane. One thing that they didn't know that Rusty knew what car that they were driving and that he was right behind them. Now Rusty Nail is on a plot to catch them and harm them this leads them on a chase and through a whole bunch of events that have them running for there lives.
