Hard not to like

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2019)

The secret to the success of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", as with "Wayne's World", is that it's just so hard not to like it. The whole thing has such a disarming, goofy charm, that to say you didn't enjoy it would make you feel like an a-hole.
And come on, how do you not like a movie about a couple of teenage idiots who travel through time in a phone booth picking up historical figures? And where Napoleon Bonaparte gets an award for eating an enormous icecream sundae? And where one of the said teenage idiots sword fights with Joan of Arc - who he previously belived to be "Noah's wife"?
The scenes where the characters encounter the historical figures aren't as successful. They're believable enough, but not that entertaining.
