Review of The Big Bus

The Big Bus (1976)
2/10
Sidesplittingly unfunny
10 March 2005
After about 20 minutes I could see where this was headed and it became one of the few films I just couldn't watch completely. Oh, I left it on just to see if anyone would say something funny while I thumbed through an almanac. Needless to say it didn't happen. I really wanted to like this movie too which makes it a shame. All the actors including one of my favorites, Ruth Gordon just couldn't do anything with an unbelievably not-funny script. I even tried to like it in the same way I did Airplane, which had what I call stupid-humor. This was just stupid. Even some interesting action ideas were made as to have me turn my head away after a couple minutes. Avoids a 1 because of Gordon, the piano player and one nice stunt sequence on the mountain.
