Synopsis

After violating his probation, ex-con Joe Braxton is given a second chance at freedom: schoolteacher Vivian Perry hires him to repair an old school bus and use it to drive a group of special-education kids from Philadelphia, where their home, The Clarmont Center for Children, is being shut down, to their new home at Ms. Perry's Washington Farm.

The kids have severe mental problems and Joe is not looking forward to the trip, but he starts to bond with them and Vivian and offers his support and love as he changes his outlook on life.

But social worker Donald, who gave Joe his break (and is Vivian's lover), is hot on their trail and wants Joe back in prison.

Joe and Vivian must now stop Donald from sending the children back to Philadelphia, where they'll have no future.

My first negative opinion about the Bustin' Loose soundtrack is that it lacks emotional depth and fails to capture the heartwarming moments between Joe, Vivian, and the special-education kids. The music feels generic and does not enhance the touching scenes of personal growth and connection.
