American Joyride is a road trip movie that follows two young friends, Jack (Alex Petrovitch) and Scottie (Andy Mackenzie), as they embark on a journey across the country to attend Jack's ex-girlfriend's wedding. The duo is joined by Jack's new love interest, Stephanie (Katherine Randolph), and his older cousin, Randy (Joseph Lyle Taylor).

The movie begins with Jack and Scottie stealing a car from a convenience store parking lot and hitting the road. The two are broke and looking for adventure, and hope that their journey will lead them to something better than their current situation. Along the way, they encounter a variety of characters – some friendly, like a group of hippies they meet at a gas station, and some dangerous, like a pair of drug dealers who try to steal the car.

As they travel across the country, Jack and Scottie begin to reflect on their lives and the choices they've made. Jack is still in love with his ex-girlfriend, and wonders if he made a mistake in breaking up with her. Scottie, on the other hand, is content to go wherever the wind takes him, and sees the trip as a chance to escape his troubled past.

Their journey takes them through deserts, mountains, and small towns, providing plenty of breathtaking scenery along the way. There are moments of humor, as well as tense and dramatic scenes. The group's dynamic begins to shift as they confront personal demons and unexpected obstacles on their trip.

Katherine Randolph's Stephanie is a refreshing addition to the group, offering a bit of stability and a counterpoint to the guys' wild behavior. Joseph Lyle Taylor's Randy is a gruff and slightly menacing presence, but ultimately proves to be a loyal and protective cousin to Jack.

The soundtrack features a mix of classic rock and indie bands, adding to the film's overall feel of a classic road trip adventure. The film's cinematography is particularly impressive, capturing some truly stunning shots of the American landscape.

Overall, American Joyride is an entertaining and evocative film that captures the sense of freedom and exploration that comes with a great road trip. The characters are flawed, but ultimately relatable and endearing, and the story is both engaging and thought-provoking. It's a movie that will make you want to pack your bags and hit the open road.

American Joyride is a 2011 adventure movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
