After violating his probation, ex-con Joe Braxton is given a second chance at freedom: schoolteacher Vivian Perry hires him to repair an old school bus and use it to drive a group of special-education kids from Philadelphia, where their home, The Clarmont Center for Children, is being shut down, to their new home at Ms. Perry's Washington Farm. The kids have severe mental problems and Joe is not looking forward to the trip, but he starts to bond with them and Vivian and offers his support and love as he changes his outlook on life. But social worker Donald, who gave Joe his break (and is Vivian's lover), is hot on their trail and wants Joe back in prison. Joe and Vivian must now stop Donald from sending the children back to Philadelphia, where they'll have no future.
Leave your thoughts about Bustin' Loose.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelA warm-hearted comedy involving a bunch of orphan kids promises neither a rewarding evening nor the best use of Pryor's considerable talent. The plotting is sloppy at times and this is undoubtedly a minor film, but its rewards are surprising. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldAn inconsistent but good-natured ramble, Bustin' Loose looks like a secure investment for Richard Pryor fans. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyBustin' Loose is not unbearable, though a soft-hearted Richard Pryor is not a terribly funny Richard Pryor. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenPryor--whose customary profanity cuts into the story's essentially sentimental nature--is able to energize the material, but in the end Bustin' Loose remains a minor effort from a major talent. |
| User ReviewMichael BI freakin Love this Movie...Very Awesome!!! |
| User Review♥Jasmin ♥I'm not a social worker! I'm not! I just drive the bus! - Joe Braxton..Funny! lol |
| User ReviewDania M"NOW GO ON FOR I STAB YOU IN YO ASS" LOL LOVE THIS |
| User Reviewmike pClassic Richard Pryor! One of his best performances. |
| User ReviewMark G:fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]Richard Pryor, may not have alot to be proud of in his, thespian life, but this is one of the things that he can be proud of. Not just a funny movie, with tired jokes, about parolees working with kids but a funny movie with alot of depth, about a parolee working with kids.[/size][/font] |
| User ReviewBrook Mthis movie is so funny. the kids are so mischevious and fun. |
