Review of Holiday on the Buses (1973) by Oxana . — 27 May 2014
Strong 3 stars.
The traditional "On the Buses" setting takes a remodeling in this movie that sees Stan Butler, Jack Harper and Inspector Blake in a very different place due to certain mishaps at the depo.
Getting jobs at a holiday village, Stan and Jack are back to their old routines in no time, looking for female company and bending the rules fast as they can. Stan's family unsurprisingly gets invited to the resort as well, yet there are quite a few interesting events ahead.
There are a lot of good laughs in this movie, with unpredictable chains of events and borrowing very little from the original TV show in terms of plot devices. The new setting truly works for the best here, not taking away from the characters but giving them a chance to stretch their wings a little.
