Some times a film comes along that you expect very little from but ends up being so much more than you expected and Drunk Bus is exactly that. it must have something to it based on its synopsis alone because I get a choice of many films to review each week and for whatever reason Drunk Bus just stuck out to me. I’m glad I chose to watch it.
The film follows Michael a young campus bus driver who drives the late night ‘drunk bus’ every night. When he gets security for his bus in the form of a huge Samoan guy named Pineapple they form an unlikely kinship and both start trying to enjoy life.

Drunk Bus is the story of an unlikely friendship between a college graduate working as the campus bus driver, and a punk rock Samoan security guard named Pineapple. Directed by John Carlucci and Brandon Laganke and written by Chris Molinaro, this coming-of-age comedy drama is the directors’ directorial debut.
The opening credits (“inspired by real shit”) take us back to 2006 to a town called Kent in Ohio. Michael (played by Charlie Tahan) is stuck in an endless loop. Day after day, he mopes after his ex-girlfriend Amy (played by Sarah Mezzanote) who left him for a new life in New York. He has no plan for a future but just secretly hopes she’ll come back, be with him and they will forever be happy and married. His days just pass him by in a dull lull. All he does is work whilst living with his super lazy flatmate Josh...

Set in a time before Uber, smartphones, and mass social networking, Brandon Laganke and John Carlucci’s Drunk Bus is a nostalgic look at college life in small-town Kent, Ohio. Set largely on a bus that makes the rounds between the Greek houses, dorms, and bars, Drunk Bus is far from an original film but it’s the kind of cinematic comfort food that you might invite a few friends over to watch in your cramped dorm room. If you ever had that kind of college experience, especially in dead of winter with some friends and some snacks, this movie will probably make you nostalgic for those kinds of nights.
Charlie Tahan stars as Michael, a recent graduate of Kent Institute of Technology who finds himself on campus driving the drunk bus for far longer than he imagined. His girlfriend Amy (Sarah Mezzanotte) has left him in that kind of...
