Fleeing from his father, Irish 12-year-old Mully steals a taxi and is shocked to find a woman, Joy, in the back seat with a baby. Joy has decided to give her child away to a friend, and Mully needs to get some distance from his debt-ridden dad, who’s after the cash Mully has with him. And so two lovable rogues, a complicated middle aged mother and a troubled adolescent, go on a journey across Ireland, gradually finding the friendship, love and learning they never knew they needed in each other.

A road movie can either be incredibly entertaining, hitting all the right notes, or it can be a typical journey where things happen, but it’s not particularly funny or engaging. You endure it because, as a road movie, you know it won’t drag on too long. Joyride is exactly that kind of film. It’s not remarkable, but it’s watchable and passes the time without leaving a lasting impression.
