Bus driver movie. What is presented on-screen is a film that could have been good, but ends up being a misfire that simply is a waste of time. This could have been a good low budget film if the dialogue would certainly have been better written, as it is, it was simply too ridiculous to enjoy.
Lyrics: Steppin' out, the weekend's open wide / Fill it up, let's blast the jams and ride / While we're cruisin' around in the street / Listen up for the party in feet / Slap me five that'.
