However, both are hiding a secret: Lolo’s cousin Deadeye (Sabrina Wu) and Audrey’s college roommate-turned-famous actress Kat (Stephanie Hsu) will also be tagging along. When an opportunity presents itself for Audrey to travel to China to seal a deal for her firm, she extends an invitation to Lolo. Audrey’s a lawyer on partnership track, while Lolo is a starving artist living in Audrey’s garage making works not-so-subtly depicting genitalia. Strong together all through their K-12 years, they now find themselves in their late 20s on wildly separate paths. Growing up as the only two Asians in a primarily white suburb, Audrey and Lolo’s friendship was practically predestined. Audrey’s Caucasian adoptive parents walked up to Lolo’s Chinese parents and introduced the girls, and the rest was history. Producing team Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (in essence, protégés of the Frat Pack) and their latest co-production, Joy Ride, are proof enough that the R-rated Hollywood comedy is alive, even if not always well.Īudrey (Ashley Park) and Lolo (Sherry Cola) have been best friends ever since they first met on the playground as kids. Sure, your Judd Apatows, Todd Phillipses and Adam McKays aren’t nearly as prominent (or as prolific) as they once were, but the subgenre didn’t die. The thing is, the R-rated studio comedy never really went anywhere. This lingering concern for the current state of raunchy Hollywood productions was no doubt borne from the phasing out of the Frat Pack: Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Owen and Luke Wilson, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and all the other guys who used to crack you up but now front Marvel projects or dramas for streaming services. Concerned moviegoers have been mourning the death of the R-rated studio comedy for far too long now. Sabrina Wu, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu and Ashley Park fill roles you may remember from Sex and the City or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
