Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (DVD, 2009, Movie Cash)

This comedy holds up better than most and is a MUST see for Keanu Reeves fans. It might surprise most to remember/learn how his dimwitted, comic performances first started to earn him a living as an actor. He shows much more charisma in this energized performance of a young teenager teamed with his best friend Alex Winters in the efforts of forming WYLD STALLIONS, a rock band. Despite not really knowing how to play their insturments.

The movie storyline sets up the premise beautifully: as sometime in the future all civilization has found peace and prosperity thru the musical talents of these two. We learn that this future is in jeopardy though as the band may never be should Keanu's character fail his history class and be shipped to military school in Alaska. In order to prevent this, the future society elects to send the boys a time machine and a kindly wise cracking advisor, RUFUS. (George Carlin in a underrated and subdued role with some killer lines). With a nod to Dr. Who fans the time machine is disguised as a phone booth circa the late 1980s (a relic in of itself now due to cell phones. lol)

Rufus arrives as the boys are studying and gives them a brief tutorial and sends them off to find historical figures to aid in their history final report. What ensues is a comedy of errors and gags involving figures from all over history. You'll see Billy the Kid, Socrates, Abe Lincoln, Genghis Kahn, Beethoven and more. Along the way the boys actually learn a few things and opt to apply themselves to their music. You'll thrill to see how it all comes together. This one is a real classic!

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a must see! Bill and Ted are two fun-loving optimistic teenagers who just happen to influence history through their band the Wyld Stallyns. The way this movie is written is outstanding and the characters are well defined and hilarious. One will meet several historical dudes (and one babe) as you journey with the dynamic duo through time in the futuristic phone booth. I must warn you, you'll never think of Billy the Kid, Socrates (so-krates), or Abraham Lincoln in the same way once you watch this movie! It's on my top-5 movies of all time list, and it is highly recommended!

The boys, ages 8 and 13 both laughed and honestly enjoyed this movie. Who doesn't enjoy some good time travel? The movie is age appropriate, funny, and fairly free of questionable scenes or dialogue. An added benefit is that the plot offers lessons on American and World history Sadly, the movie's sequel, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, is a serious let down. Don't bother with that one.

I got this DVD for Christmas last year and have watched it countless times. It's a great movie about two hilarious teens desperate to get an A+ on their history report. They travel through time, capturing famous historical figures on the way. What do these people think of the futuristic San Dimas? Will Bill and Ted get a passing grade or flunk out of the class? The answers are revealed in this hilarious 80's classic.

Here is clean and very funny Dubbed "Stoner Movie". A very cleaver and funny movie that features a now Mega super star and and his best friend as they are given a rare opportunity to travel threw time in order to gain research for there final speech which has grave consequences on the real world future. A very well produced movie of dreamers and miracles that still have a base which can be shared with kids today. Which is lot better then what schools are like today. As at any time at any school anywhere both sides of the border, from big cities to remotest parts lives changes in second and thousands of people suffer from the violence that is today.
