Reviews for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Wow, man, and to think Keanu Reeves started here. Already outdated comedy.
03/02/08
Bill and Ted has an intangibly charming goofiness about it that is somehow endearing.

Top CriticReeves, with his beguilingly blank face and loose-limbed, happy-go-lucky physical vocabulary, and Winter, with his golden curls, gleefully good vibes and 'bodacious' vocabulary, propel this adventure as long as they can.

This is extremely silly, good natured, superficial stuff; a lot depends on whether you take to Bill and Ted's unique lingo (which contorts surfers' expressions) and their gormless behaviour.

A painfully inept comedy.

Top CriticAirheaded but funny movie. I actually liked "Bogus Journey" better, though.

As these high school goofballs travel back in time to score some heavy dudes like Napoleon, Socrates, and Billy the Kid for their history presentation, they wrote themselves into the teen-movie pantheon.

Classic! Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.
02/18/03
Cheerfully stupid comic classic.
