The Big Bus

Rating:
Summary: A World Class comedy
Review: Way before AIRPLANE and AIRPLANE II and way before HOTSHOTS was THE BIG BUS. A hilarious spoof on disaster films with dozens of old television standards like Richard Mulligan, Ruth Gordon, Bob Dishy, Sally Kellermen, all lending their talents to this, one of the greatest stupid comedies around! This is cartoonist Gary Larson's Favorite comedy movie! And the prop bus they built for it is staggering as well. There isn't anything about this film that isn't funny, except that it ends.

Summary: IF YOU'RE IN THE MOOD
Review: You have to be in the mood for this one. It bombed in the theatres and went straight to cable at the time (where it picked up a considerable following). Ms. Redgrave proves she can act AND THEN SOME. Everyone raves about the piano man. I wanted someone to smack him. Still do, and that was 25 years ago. If you're in the mood for a whacky farce, it's great. It gave the writers of AIRPLANE their idea.
