Movie Reviews

Miami Herald - 10/10 by Rene RodriguezWith its complexity of viewpoints, Get on the Bus has to be seen as one of Spike Lee's most mature visions to date.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertWhat makes Get on the Bus extraordinary is the truth and feeling that go into its episodes. Spike Lee and his actors face one hard truth after another, in scenes of great power.
Variety - 10/10 by Todd McCarthyA vital regeneration of a filmmaker's talent as well as a bracing and often very funny dramatization of urgent sociopolitical themes...
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordGet on the Bus may well be the best film Spike Lee's made since Do the Right Thing.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrThere are enough issues here for three films by a perennial provoker like Lee, and critics will undoubtedly accuse him of throwing too much fuel on the fire. But this time, aided by Reggie Rock Bythewood’s thoughtful script, Lee’s ambition pays off. With 15 men squeezed together on a single bus, issues such as racism, homophobia and responsibility are tackled as they would be in real life: fitfully, passionately, derisively and, above all, hilariously.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Desmond RyanIn Get on the Bus, director and material come together with perfect ease — one of those occasional confluences of subject and strengths that make a moviegoer go, ”Of course!” Of course Spike Lee throws all of his bravado, all his storytelling talents, and all his artistic chutzpah into a movie about last year’s Million Man March.
New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinSome of the film's best and most comfortable moments find the bus passengers simply singing together in a show of warm, spontaneous unity.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by Joseph McBrideNot only is this film a must-see for African Americans, it will enlighten and inspire any white moviegoers who open their minds enough to take the journey along with them.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranLee's primary objective is to reflect back and offer a uniquely personal perspective of that single day last October. This viewpoint, which ultimately transcends the movie's flaws, is one of the aspects that makes for a worthwhile two hours.
USA Today - 8/10 by Mike ClarkIf the movie finally doesn't know when to quit, its flaws are those of enthusiasm and heart.
