CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on the new film “Drunk Bus,” an indie about an aimless bus driver in a college town, and his unlikely friendship with a man named Pineapple, currently in select theaters and through Video On Demand.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

Charlie Tahan is Michael, an aimless bus driver in a college town, assigned to the route with the most bars, thus the “drunk bus.” He has dropped out of that college, lost his girlfriend and is constantly being harassed by his wasted riders. When a fight occurs on the bus, his boss assigns a bodyguard named Pineapple, portrayed by Pineapple Tangaroa. The pair become unlikely friends, teaching each other the life lessons they need to break free.

“Drunk Bus” is in select theaters (see local listings) and through Video On Demand, including locally through the Virtual Cinema of MusicBoxTheatre.com. Featuring Charlie Tahan, Kara Hayward, Pineapple Tangaroa, Tonatiuh, Zach Cherry, Sarah Mezzanotte, Dave Hill, Jay Devore, Martin Pfefferkorn and Will Forte. Written by Chris Molinaro. Directed by John Carlucci and Brandon LaGanke. Not Rated
