the dogs. they mock me!! ..you have your awake cap on., March 18, 2006
i was trying to think of a quote to title this with, but i just cannot find one since this movie is chock full of em. so i put two. this movie is hilarious. every character is strong and classic in my book. the quirky couple, the bitter mother, bridgett, the scientist who is alone against a monstrous disease because nobody else gets it, the guy who gets ripped off after he tells his friend "not to get ripped off", the two that fall in love, and the couple who are ignorant tourists are all done in such a great way, that this movie earns a top spot in my collection. i also sense a great romantic feel when i watch this movie. i mean the whole "big city..boy meets girl...weird artsy people...etc etc"...although i really think the opening credits are a bit lengthy, but it is worth it to view them. anyways, i highly recommend this film. i mean c'mon! its a nice day, were in the city, im beautiful!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
an unlikely modern classic, June 28, 2004
This review is from: Fatty Drives the Bus [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I admit my expectations weren't very high when i first watched this film,, but I was completely blown away. The directing and acting are gleefully amateurish, but it made me remember something important: sometimes, watching a movie should be fun.
First, we meet Satan, the formidable foe of mankind complete with horns and stretchpants. He wants to kill a tour bus full of innocent people. Their deaths were originally cancelled because Jesus happened to be in Chicago as well. Satan puts in a personal appearance by entering a Willa Wonka-like transformation machine, emerging as an amiable tour guide named Roger.
If it all sounds a bit wacky, that's because it is. We meet all the characters next, who all tend to be likeably quirky (especially the "weird couple" and the "glamourous" drag queen). Satan, in disguise as the tour guide, runs around getting people to sign away their souls while showing all the important landmarks in Chicago, like Wrigley Field and the scene of the St. Valentine's Day massacre.
Will Jesus save the tour bus, or will they all go to Hell? Would pressing that one button blast them all off into outer space? Where does Fatty stand in all of this? All this and a particularly rediculous ending in Fatty Drives the Bus.
