Seeing the interesting cast of mostly character actors, I was expecting more laughs from "The Big Bus". Even though it tries hard, nine out of ten jokes misfire, and are just plain silly or stupid. Another problem is the same joke is worked to death, for example the Diablo Pass incident, or the doctor caring for his patient in the parking lot. Other jokes simply go on for far too long and become tedious. The nuclear bus visuals are impressive, but overall the characters seem more like they are doing stand up comedy, than playing in a movie. A very frantic finish is the best part of the film, but even that cannot save "The Big Bus". - MERK
