"Here lies Keanu Reeves. He played Ted."

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2019)

For years after the release of this movie, Keanu Reeves had been moaning that his epitaph would sound like this, because, after seeing "Bill and Ted", people saw Ted in his every subsequent role. I'm not one of those, because if I were, I would like him much more. As much as he has irritated me in most films, I have to admit that here he has played a dumb teenager fantastically and is unexpectedly likable and funny.
Bill and Ted are high school students who want to start a rock band, but because of their dullness and laziness, they are threatened with expulsion from school. If that happens, Ted will go to a military boarding school and there will be no band. Their last hope is that they deserve the highest marks in a history presentation. George Carlin comes to the rescue, in the role of a man from a future, sent to allow Bill and Ted to travel through time, to explore historical figures firsthand, and the crazy adventure begins.
The movie has no particular objective qualities and, in cold blood, I would rate it maybe some five out of ten, but I can't ignore the fact that I had a great time and was genuinely laughing at times, so I can't go below
7/10
