The music took the joy out of this ride!, 10 June 2008
5/10
Author: moviemystic from U.S.A.

Hey, it's Joyride, starring the son of Desi Arnaz, a son of John Carradine, and the wife of Antonio Banderas!

Well, these wacky kids could sure pull crimes and escape local bar patrons, business owners and the police with ease, alright

But there was always ONE horrible thing they could NEVER escape from:

All that lousy ELO music!!!

Yes, regardless of what state they drove to, what restaurant, bar or car radio that played music, mainly only ONE thing kept blaring out of those poor little speakers:

ELO! ELO! ELO!

Now THAT was some scary stuff!
