Summary: below average teen horror with above average acting
Review: i like teen movies. i'm a fan of movies like i know what you did last summer , scream , and house on haunted hill. this movie isn't the horror flick you'd expect. this has some pretty good scenes but it's a slow paced and overly charectorized thriller with great acting. i liked it but i would never buy it unless it was on the [$] rack at ...

Summary: 4 different endings.Change the film way you want to see it
Review: A young man has the hots for a young chick in Colorado. They talk by phone. She sends him an airplane ticket (refundable) to see her, but he says he has a car. He agrees to drive across America to see her. He quickly buys a used car. Picks up his brother being released from jail in Salt Lake City, Utah, buys a Citizen Bands (CB) radio and on the road they go. They have a bit too much fun with he CB. His brother wants him to speak like a girl and give "Rusty Nail" on the CB some hot conversation. Reluctantly, he obligues and his smooth talk works. They loose contact. Later that night, at the Lone Star Hotel parked in the car, "Rusty Nail" calls for "Candy Cane". At the risk of going to prison for this, the brother talks his brother into some more hot talk with "Rusty Nail". Tell him to meet us here at the hotel. This movie is a suspenseful joyride from there. In the "Language Section" are three different audio commentaries, Commentary by Director, John Dahl, Commentary by J.J. Abrams and Clay Tarver, Commentary by Steve Zahn and LeeLee Sobieski. By the way, I love the Lone Star Hotel in the rain screensaver. I love the sound of rain and thunder. In the "Extra Features", the three commentaries are also available. PLAY THE MOVIE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END. The second time you watch it, when you click on "More Than One JoyRide" in Extra Features, you will have access to many deleted scenes and FOUR alternate endings. Just switch "ON" in red. Then resume movie. Everytime you see the icon of the "girl" (rustynail + candycane), press "enter" on your remote and it will play a deleted scene or one of the four alternate endings. The first "girl' icon appears when Fuller and Venna drink orange juice together at the Owl Hotel. The second "girl" icon appears during the nude scenes of the two guys. Here you will get a long exteneded version of the nude scenes along with the 29 minutes of the first alternate ending. This plays through to the end. BUT WAIT! The DVD willl go back to from where you pressed the icon and play out the rest of the film the first time you saw it until you see another "girl" icon. You can make this movie different every time you watch it. Change the movie the way you want to see it.

Summary: great thriller
Review: this was an excellent thriller, only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is cause i dont consider it a classic type or a amazing film but if your lookin for a suspense you should rent this. it's about this guy played by paul walker who is trying to impress this girl ( leelee sobiesk), so he buys a new car and gets his brother out of jail and then they go and pick her up and decide to go on a little ( joy ride ). well im not gona say what happens but they get into alot of trouble and crazy incidents happen and they are being stalked by a guy in a truck on the highway. it's more suspense than scary but it's really cool film. i would recomend you buy this.

Summary: Wanna take a ride?
Review: You guys gotta get this film. Joy Ride is one of the best scary films ever! It kept me on the edge of my seat. Most scary movies these days just show blood and guts, but this film uses the art of terror to drive the action-packed pace of the film. Joy Ride is immensely entertaining and will leave you begging for a Joy Ride 2.

Summary: Good until they showed the truck driver...
Review: This movie was bumped down a star because once the truck driver is revealed, it looses its suspense, but all in all this is one worth seeing. Better yet, this could actually happen to you. So keeping this short and sweet I say Buy or Rent today. Watch it alone in the dark.

Summary: Joy Ride? It should be called Hell Ride
Review: It was an exciting movie, and I really liked how it was kind of a horror, but instead of blood and guts, this movie had actual terror. I highly reccomend seeing this movie, in DVD. It is a movie, that should have gotten more publicity. Like, I hadn't heard of this movie before I watched it, it should have gotten as much publicity as Fast and the Furious.

Summary: What I did on my last road trip
Review: This wasn't a bad movie. Basically it's a mixture of "I know what you did last summer" and "Duel". An interesting mix to say the least. The movie has all the prerequiste scary car scenes, including being chased by a semi in a corn field. The movie begins very well with two brothers playing a joke on their cb radio on their way to pick up a friend in another state. The joke turns very badly when the trucker comes back for revenge. After there first encounter with the trucker the movie starts to trail off and I lost a little bit of interest. The movie then begins to lead into the ridiculous and some of the action doesn't really work well. Interestingly, there are plenty of deleted scenes which make you wonder about alternative directions for the film.Overall, however, it was a decent movie and of course it left it wide open for a sequel. The DVD has plenty of special features including a testing of possible voices for the all important faceless voice on the radio. Check out the one with Eric Roberts. I am so glad they didn't chose him. I give this movie 3 stars because it was entertaining. If you are looking for a light little flick with some scary scenes and some laughs this is your purchase.

Summary: This is not a bad movie, and actually pretty good
Review: lots of cliches but still very good. the older brother is with a pretty disgusting and nasty personality but acted so well. the young brother is a very likable person if with good agent he couild be hot. the young female role is quite vague though. all in all, a pretty watchable movie, at least 100% better than my big fat greek wedding, a movie just viewed before this joy ride.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent movie!
Review: Has all the elements and then some to make this a thriller. Don't know why it didnt receive more publicity. Acting is excellent and the mystery of character: "Rusty Nail" is veiled by allowing us to only hear his voice intially. Won't say anymore so as not to spoil it.
