An unrecognized comedy classic

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2001)

The biggest drawback of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is that it it doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves. No one ever lists B&T in a list of classic comedies, but that's exactly what it is -- an airy, enjoyable, nonstop romp of silliness across time. The movie is filled to the brim with memorable quotes and scenes, such as Genghis Khan running amok at the mall and Bill and Ted's implausible (yet totally logical!) escape from jail. And yet, despite the guys' loser-slacker attitudes and the movie's laid-back tone, it's also family-friendly and harmless. Again, an unrecognized comedy classic.
Be excellent to each other and party on!
