6/10
The Ultimate In Cheezzy Sets Pridictable Jokes and Lame Dialogue!

That said The BIG BUS is just interesting enough to make you never want to turn it off once you start watching it. The BIG BUS is insidicous in its nature. The BIG BUS lures you into its silly mindless plot. The BIG BUS is not about serious movie making or production values or, deeper meanings. It almost seems someone had a few weeks to kill in Hollywood and a bit of unexposed film laying about and, a few favors to call in from industry friends and, the BIG BUS was the result of that otherwise shared idle time. For a film that aspired to so little its odd they hit the mark. To say this film is chewing gum for the eyes would suggest it had hidden in it some posh deep seeded ideal which it doesn't. The BIG BUS far from being chewing gum for the eyes is more like cotton candy for the eyes. Like Cotton Candy the Big BUS is just sticky and messy enough to get you caught up in it but the whole time your brain is finding new and heitherfore unexplored depths to the meaning of the words stuck in neutral gear. You should watch the BIG BUS for the same reason you eat Cotton Candy. The BIG BUS is the movie you want to see when you just want to spend time focusing your energy on the active art of enjoying an experience that too soon melts in your mind becoming nothing but a nagging memory in its all too sweet but crowded hour!
