Rating: 3/4 --
The Big Bus can be hit-or-miss in its humor. But the hits are fairly big and the misses are comparatively small.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
The Big Bus [is] a consistently clever comedy that had the misfortune of being a couple of years ahead of its time.

The Dissolve
Rating: B --
Before there was "Airplane," there was "The Big Bus." The granddaddy of the disaster spoof movies came out in 1976, and despite its unevenness, it's quite the hoot.

Movie Chambers
What we have here is a strident comedy which is wholly off-target.

The 'star-studded' cast of familiar faces is one of the conventions of disaster movies that writers Cohen and Fred Freeman have stuck to

You should never feel the creators desperately trying to force laughs where they don't naturally exist. That is the main problem of James Frawley's The Big Bus.

Zany bus ride tries to be 'Mad World,' but hits pot hole
Kansas City Kansan
Product Description:
A star-studded cast headlines this outlandish spoof on disaster films in which a gigantic nuclear powered bus--containing a swimming pool, a bowling alley, and a piano bar--and goes out of control and nearly crashes while making a coast-to-coast journey. With a cannibalistic driver (Joseph Bologna) and an oil company man who is working overtime to sabotage the bus, the passengers (Stockard Channing, Richard Mulligan, Ruth Gordon, Rene Auberjonois, and more) assured a bumpy ride. Director James Frawley's (TV's The Monkees) is an obvious influence on 1980's AIRPLANE!.
