Funny and original.

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2008)

Here's one that most people seem to love unconditionally, and I can see why. It loosely makes fun of movies like Back to the Future and other 80s movies with its silly characters and obsession with rock music, the settings are cool, the plot is...creative, and most of all...THE HISTORICAL FIGURES! Best part of the movie, seriously. All of them were insanely enjoyable (so much that you forget that Bill and Ted themselves are so boring most of the time). Joan of Arc was a cutie, Abe was damn cool, Genghis Khan, Freud, Beethoven, Socrates and Napoleon were all hilarious and the whole package makes for a hilarious joy ride that you will never forget.
With that said, most of the writing in this is pretty damn bad, and George Carlin stands out, as much as I hate to say this, as an exceptionally lackluster actor, with his ending monologue being perhaps the most cringe-worthy scene, right next to the beginning of the "Wild West" segment for pure inanity.
Still, good stuff, very fun and silly. Recommended.
