Critic Reviews for The Big Bus
All Critics (11) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (4)
You should never feel the creators desperately trying to force laughs where they don't naturally exist. That is the main problem of James Frawley's The Big Bus.
What we have here is a strident comedy which is wholly off-target.
Before there was "Airplane," there was "The Big Bus." The granddaddy of the disaster spoof movies came out in 1976, and despite its unevenness, it's quite the hoot.
The Big Bus [is] a consistently clever comedy that had the misfortune of being a couple of years ahead of its time.
The Big Bus can be hit-or-miss in its humor. But the hits are fairly big and the misses are comparatively small.
I'd like to pretend it's a better movie than it is... its failings aren't gross and its modest pleasures are so far superior to the general run this slummy summer season that I feel very kindly toward it.
Audience Reviews for The Big Bus
Very much a mixed bag with a lot of talented performers trapped in this scattershot mess. Tries to lampoon the disaster movie craze and scores occasionally but mostly of the jokes fall flat.
