For want of a better word, Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2002)

I loved this movie when I was a kid and now, at the ripe old age of nineteen, I still laugh out loud when I watch this movie. Bill and Ted were my heroes, thick as tree-stumps but still managing to coast through life smoothly and with minimal effort. The plot involves the pair travelling back through time gathering famous historical figures for their end-of-year history report, in an attempt to save themselves from flunking. They are aided by Rufus, who supplies them with their time-travelling phone box, (reference to Doctor Who anyone?), and watches over them to make sure they don't screw it up. It is almost impossible not to enjoy this movie. Bill and Ted are simple guys whose only main concern is when Megadeth's next album is coming out, who are suddenly pushed into a position of great importance. No matter what age you happen to be, rent out this movie. Watch it with your kids if it makes you feel less silly, I guarantee you'll enjoy it just as much as they will.
