The Film StageJohn FinkMay 18, 2021
Here 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. Read full review

Film ThreatAlex SavelievMay 20, 2021
Akin 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. Read full review

Film ThreatHunter LanierMay 18, 2021
Drunk 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. Read full review

The PlaylistAndrew BundyMay 25, 2021
If nothing else, Drunk Bus succeeds in capturing that period of juvenile transition, like many of the Apatow-era late 2000s comedies did. Read full review
