Clowny Comedy Could Use Less Fluff *** (6/10) ***

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2011)

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter star in this goofy comedy in which history gets rewritten for a history project. There are just some things that work in this movie and some things that don't. For example, at one point in the movie we are supposed to believe that Ted dies while they are in a medieval castle. However this is hard to believe because we saw them in a previous scene talking to their future selves. The film starts to come up with some real insight near the end when they have gathered all of the historical figures for their presentation. Bill and Ted learn how to plan ahead of time using time travel after the presentation to put the keys behind a sign they remember.
