Film Review – Busboys

Podcaster Theo Von wants to be an actor. Comedian David Spade wants a job. The men join forces to make “Busboys,” a self-financed venture that’s meant to play directly to their target demographic with an offering of crude, “anti-woke” comedy, aiming to recall the glory days(?) of goofy productions from the early 2000s. Spade and Von also share a screenplay credit on the endeavor, although it’s hard to imagine what was exactly written down for the picture, which presents a stunningly random set of situations for the main characters, who want to achieve something undefined, embarking on an aimless, witless journey to acquire it. Jonah Feingold (“EXmas,” “Dating & New York,” and “At Midnight”) is credited as the helmer of this effort, though there’s no perceptible direction to be found in this feature, which lurches from scene to scene, trying to deliver a laugh riot without actually including any jokes. If there’s a worse film than “Busboys” in 2026, I’ll be shocked. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
