Movie Reviews of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Movie Review: Most Triumphant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the greatest films of all times. I love this film, and actually own two copies of it, just in case something should happen to one of them. Whenever any one decides to watch a movie, I will always recommend watching this movie. This is the type of movie you can watch over and over again and never get tired of. The acting is great, with Alex Winter playing Bill S. Preston Esquire and Keanu Reeves playing Ted Theodore Logan. The way that they can portray these kids is amazing, and probably harder than any one might think. Their California, west coast accents are perfect.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a comedy about two clueless, metal head high school kids. This comedy is based on their simple confusion and many crazy events. The jokes are simple but hilarious, such as being asked who Caesar is by their History teacher and responding a "Salad Dressing Dude." The movie is safe for all ages to watch, with no crude language or violence.
The Plot revolves around Bill and Ted trying to get an A+ on there history final. Ted's father threatens him saying he will send him to an Alaskan military school if he fails this class. If the two colleagues are separated, their band (Wyld Stallyns) will never be formed. For some reason far in the future the Wyld Stallyn music is the center for all life. It somehow solves all of the problems in the world. It aligns the planets and brings peace between all beings, from extraterrestrials all the way to common household pets.
This brings the story to some of the most creative ideas ever. The leaders of in the future, to keep Bill and Ted form separating, send help in the form of Rufus, played by George Carlin. If that is not odd enough, his mode of transportation is a phone booth. Using modern technology, from the future, this phone booth is equipped with the ability for time travel. The phone booth travels through the circuits of time, and the concept of how the booth works. They use a phone book to locate a phone number to take them to any point in time.
The sound track for this movie is excellent. It is mostly 80's rock music. It is perfect for this movie. The songs or selected for each scenes perfectly. Some of the songs include Robbie Robb's song In Time and Power Tool's song Two Heads Are Better Than One.
This scenery in this film is very good. Where in most low budget movies, scenery is lacking, this film does not. The boys are taken to many different places in time, and in all these places the detailing of all the scenery is excellent. Even in the shortest scenes the area is very believable.
In the end there is almost nothing that I can say bad about this movie. I hope that every one takes the time at least one time to watch it. After your watch it once you will realize that you will probably watch it more like five hundred times. So save yourself a rental fee for Blockbuster and just buy it. You will b very happy with what you get. In the words of Bill and Ted "Be excellent to each other and party on dudes!"
Summary of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) and Alex Winter (The Lost Boys) deliver "spirited performances" (The Hollywood Reporter) in the original righteous comedy about the two ditzy dudes from San Dimas, California. Also starring George Carlin, this hysterically funny historical comedy is a "snappily directed" (Time), "bouncy good time" (The Boston Globe) and a party that goes on and on! Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) have spent so much time forming their rock band, The Wyld Stallyns, that they're flunking history. Whoa, duuuude! And when Ted's dad threatens to send him away to military school, Bill and Ted realize it could mean the most heinous end of The Stallyns! Luckily, a guardian angel from the future, Rufus (Carlin), has come to them with a most bodacious solution: a time-traversing phone booth to take them into the past to learn about the world from some of history's most influential personalities. Their journey through time turns out to be a blastÂ...but will they learn enough to pass their class?Similar DVD Movies
