1:31 Audrey's parents' excitement at her making a friend is genuinely one of the cutest things I've seen

[tevster]

The relief on the parents’ faces (all four of them) is just wonderful.

As an adopted Asian American growing up in a predominately white suburb, I feel this.

Funny enough, I remember facing racism like this as a child. Two kids were calling me “China Man” (even though I’m Korean) and one of them knelt behind me while the other pushed me over.

I went crying to my dad and told him what happened and he told me not to come crying and to stand up for myself. I walked directly up to the kid who pushed me and punched him square in the nose.

Maybe not the best way of solving conflict in hindsight, but yeah… totally felt this opening scene.

The way Lolo's mom smiled when she saw Audrey was also Chinese made me tear up... ❤️

[umylpjb]

Joy Ride is literally just the Hangover but with girls and it is absolutely fabulous.

[jordanwillows]

As someone who is adopted, idk why but when those kids said that she mustve done something or that her mom just didnt want her, it made me sad 😢 ive always heard “oh but do you ever want to find your REAL parents” and it always breaks my heart. Why cant some people just mind their business. Hilarious movie tho wish i had someone like me (same ethnicity) as a friend when i was growing up

[grizzlycountry]

The way the mom went from being defensive to just smiling...❤

[hezahaubeza]

That opening alone made me want to watch this movie.

[aek]

What makes me so mad is that the teacher didn’t do anything to the children that were bullying Audrey.

[andrewbazzell]

I was not prepared for the opening scene at all and it was fantastic 😂

[shiseioliver]

i kinda just want to watch a series of them as kids… the movie was alright but the opening just made me want to watch more of that

[slim]

Lolos facial expressions are everything! She saw he hurt her new friends feelings and she was like..nope! Uhuh!

[mileyrocks]

Literally what I needed as a child. My brother and I were the only Japanese kids in school and I would have loved to have one person to keep my head up. Sadly, I ended up being the one to keep my own head up. Still no friends.

[gabriemarizsecreto]

the "most likely to get arrested" caught me off guard for a sec-💀

[ashelywilliams]

I had a best friend just like the one that flip people off. She pass away a year ago. I miss her. We met in 5th grade. 30yrs ago. May she rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤😇

[banishedheir]

And that’s how bullies should be dealt with. No more talking!

[marlowemichaelson]

The scream I scrumpt when the boy got kicked by the kid on the swing 😂😂

[biancajade]

I thought it couldn't get any funnier & then he went flying 😂 🤣

[papa_squat]

My cousins are adopted Koreans that grew up in our New York Italian family. Watching them cursing out bewildered rascists with a native Brooklyn accent was a real pleasure.

[Momjeansandshame]

Little Lolo’s facial expressions are fabulous.
