    I would pay to ride the late shift loop with Tahan and Pineapple. Made me reflect on the crazy stuff we pulled in college.

    Drunk Bus hits its stride in everything it goes for. As a current student from Kent State University, this film exemplifies exactly what the feeling of Kent, Ohio invokes. It is a college town with a lot of heart which Drunk Bus represents equally. It is a laugh-out-loud comedy, with a perfect soundtrack. This film has a great cast with Charlie Tahan from Ozark and Pineapple paying himself in this "based on true shit story." For this low-budget first ever feature film from the co-director duo, Drunk Bus is a story that everyone coming out of college needs right now. Drunk Bus is a must-see movie from any upcoming filmmaker in the industry or even someone that has gone to Kent State University.

    It's not bad, it's not good, it's nothing. technically well done with good actors.

    There's nothing uncommon or remarkable about this story line or these performances--a rote student film with the budget for a bus. I came across this movie by chance and, being from Cleveland and Kent, I had to upvote it a little just for hometown pride. There's no reason to seek this movie out, though, and no reason to feel like you're missing anything if you pass it by.

    I loved this movie! It was funny, poignant, and endearing. Took me back to my college days.

    Reminds me of my college life at Kent State University. Always enjoyable to revisit this entertaining dark comedy.

    You most likely know Charlie Tahan from Ozark, but he shifts into a starring turn with ease and could be one of my new favorite young actors. Tahan pulls off awkward as well as it can be done. Forgive some of the disjointed acting and the overdone gimmicks and you have a totally enjoyable film that's occasionally funny and most definitely well thought out. There's a college bus at fictional Kent Tech that is nicknamed the "Drunk Bus" because the passengers late at night are often drunk. There are times the movie is serious, but you'll quickly learn that the message here is friendship and finding yourself in a tone that isn't stuffy. Final Score: 6.7/10

    This was a really great story that brings back all the nostalgia of college life and the struggles of navigating your path at this typically tumultuous life stage.

    Giving it 3.5 instead of 3 because there's so few good movies these days. Technically this is a "meh passed the time" type movie. I'm just glad it avoided a few shitty cliches which would be a) guy gets the girl at the end b) frat douche named chad c) that in general losing your virginity isn't some great thing. It's awkward, weird, and fast. You might remember it differently but let's face it. You're lying to yourself.

    Very sweet and very funny coming of age story that I believe is based at least partially on a real campus phenomenon (inc. Pineapple, who is a very memorable character). Low-budget movies are really tricky to pull off, but the creative team here did a great job. It's a shame that the pandemic robbed them of their ability to enjoy a deserved SXSW premiere, but this movie should find an audience online in the coming years. Highly recommended.
