Leave your thoughts about Drunk Bus.
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe laughs in Drunk Bus may come in familiar places, but there’s a genuine effort to flip the script just enough to avoid the standard traps in such farces. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkHere is the rare kind of often sweet college comedy with good-natured laughs that captures a side of the process rarely seen in frat comedies: the divide between those in the service industry and those that have the luxury to party eight days a week. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloIt becomes something heartfelt yet funny—a truly hard balance to strike—but Drunk Bus pulls through for our enjoyment. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIt's not if Michael gets out of his rut (or when he gets to chasten Pineapple a little along the way), but how, and it's a fun ride with him until he reaches that destination. |
| Original-CinLiam LaceyDrunk Bus has some pros and cons. At its best, it evokes the freewheeling style and emotional pangs of Greg Mottola’s 2009 film, Adventureland. |
| SlashfilmMatt DonatoDrunk Bus straps you in for a semi-wild, uplifting ride out of somber darkness and into speedy reclamation. |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievAkin to a bus that provides temporary shelter from the cold, Drunk Bus is cozy and familiar, but 100 minutes proves to be just enough. I was ready to pull the cord towards the end of this fun, somewhat bumpy ride. |
| Screen RantSandy SchaeferThanks to its charming cast and even-handed blend of laughs and drama, Drunk Bus generally succeeds in putting a fresh spin on its familiar story. |
| Film ThreatHunter LanierDrunk Bus, directed by Brandon Laganke and John Carlucci, is a deja-vu inducing coming-of-age story with enough character and good cheer to make you forgive how unadventurous it is. |
| The GuardianPhuong LeBelievable performances, along with a deep understanding of place, lend Drunk Bus a cheeriness that is entertaining and heartwarming. |
