Absolutely unbelievable service, friendly, and their word they keep what they say, thanks

The Summary as it appears in January of 2026 — influential to anyone considering whether to watch Joyride — brought back the old dread of writing a pop quiz on a book you haven’t read. Even the basic facts in the summary are wrong. Is it “predictable?” It isn’t a mystery or thriller so, yeah, I understood the structure going in. What kept me engrossed from beginning to end was how a fine and funny script in the hands of the right director working with an extraordinarily talented cast, at every turn defied any structural predictability with dark humour and an avoidance of maudlin sentimentality. After decades of watching Hollywood films, I have an expectation of how a scene will go; I’m happy to say, while watching Joyride, I usually got it wrong. This is a character-driven film. Watching Colman and Reid spar was all the action I needed.

I had the misfortune of being next to my dearly beloved when she pressed the button play on the remote. I was then subjected to what can only be described as mental abuse. Here's why: the key protagonist played by colman (who is a premenopausal woman in real life) who is a young mother who can't and won't take care of her newborn. Already the story is derailed, her chances of natural conception at this age are less than a percent, with assisted technologies being preferred. For some kind of reason, she encounters a teen boy who explains her how breastfeeding works because she ran out of powdered milk. Again, that's not how this works: it was a geriatric pregnancy in ireland/uk, so she would have had more support than anyone can imagine. Being a sollicitor, we should expect her to have higher intelligence so to pay more attention to things and have a better memory than a teen-mother. So that makes no sense, after that I blacked out and emerged to watch the teen boy stealing an ice cream truck not being stopped by anyone (that is plausible given how the police works over there). There's a big dramatic sequence on the beach with our three stooges and it was meaningless. The dialogs are uninteresting, the lives of the protagonists are equally uninteresting, there's a good dose of PC messaging. As a conclusion for potential viewers: watch this only if you hate yourself, otherwise go for a walk.
