Joyride reviews

Joyride holds a 5.9/10 average from 57 TMDB ratings.

OK, so luck does play a disproportionately big role in this rather far-fetched comedy drama, but all of that is redeemed by two really quite engaging performances from Olivia Coleman and Charlie Reid. The latter is a young lad who doesn't like the idea that his roguish father is about to appropriate some charity money, so absconds with it in a stolen taxi.

— CinemaSerf (7/10)

12-year-old Mully has lost his mother and discovers his debt-ridden father stealing the charity money they've raised in her name. Grabbing the cash, Mully steals a taxi and is shocked to find a woman, Joy, in the back seat with a baby. A straight-talking solicitor who didn't expect to get pregnant, Joy is struggling with motherhood and planning to give her baby to a friend who will raise the child as her own. She joins Mully on a wild journey across Ireland, stealing cars, hitch-hiking, catching ferries and breaking police barricades.
