Review of Get on the Bus

6/10
An over-rated non story
17 April 2001
"Get on the Bus" takes a bus ride with a handful of black actors playing stereotypical African-Americans who spend their time discussing a variety of mostly race related issues on their way to the Million Man March in WDC. "GOB" shows us nothing new, is a rehash of the same old and tired black/white American issues, is mostly dialogue with little of visual interest, and wanders plotlessly with no apparent purpose other than sending preachy, simple minded messages to the audience. "GOB" only moves towards excellence to that extent that it occasionally deviates from traditional stereotypes. Good music though.
