KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

andrewdrumm911 There are many movies of my generation that looking back are either mediocre or downright terrible that I will always love as I enjoyed it at the time or it meant a lot to me when I first saw it. This movie was before my generation and I had heard how it was a classic and I must see it. Now that I have I don't see how anyone who doesn't have an emotional connection with it from when it was released thinks this is in anyway a smart, funny movie. While obviously for these movies you need to suspend reality to enjoy it, this is just downright ridiculous and the storyline is almost non existent other than an excuse to pick some famous historical figures and merge them in the modern world. The collection appears to be random and the majority of their portrayals are just stereotypes. In particular the use of Napoleon was absurd and the lack of amazement at the new world was in the back of my mind the whole time. I love ridiculous movies but this one just felt like a stoner comedy with hardly any jokes and just lazy humor. I was incredibly disappointed in this movie. As I said, if this came out when I was a teenager then I may have connected to it and found it charming. However as someone who is watching for the first time, it hasn't aged well and I would be surprised if many others felt the same way. Might be worth a watch as it's referenced a lot of pop culture but I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a good film!

Matt Greene What makes this Intentionally stupid and subversively smart romp work so well is how seriously the filmmakers seemed to take getting the time-travel loops as accurate as possible, which softens us up for the endless silliness. Winters is hilarious, & Reeves is giving his most convincing performance ever. Its biggest flaw is the actual report / presentation at the end, which we spend the whole movie building to, & it just doesn't quite live up to its own hype. But who really cares?

anxte This movie is the epitome of "enjoy the ride". it's light, funny and it still manages to be quite interesting. The way they handled time travel is very interesting and i actually quite like it. As much as you'd might think this sounds stupid but the acting is actually quite good, I can't even imagine myself being able to 1. do those voices and 2. say some of those line with a straight face. ALSO, the concept for this movie I find to be amazingly interesting, I can not imagine something like this being green lit today. + George Carlin just makes anything better.

alexdemichele Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a cult movie, receiving relatively low scores on this site, among others; however, its impact on film history is rather substantial, ushering in a new genre of "Dude Comedy" and inspiring films such as "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Wayne's World."The movie features amateur actors, Alex Winter (as Bill S. Preston, Esquire) and Keanu Reeves (as Ted "Theodore" Logan). The acting of our lead characters may not be phenomenal, but the focus is on their journey. Following through several points in history, Bill and Ted collect historical figures such as Socrates, Billy the Kid, and Abraham Lincoln, all in order to get an "A" on their history project and prevent Ted from being sent away to military school. This of course leads to a wonderful finale in which each of the carefully picked figures presents something about their time period in history, and saves the day for our heroes.All the while, this film is of course riddled with late 1980's fashion, music, and surfer slang. The most prominent in this film, though, would have to be the slang. Bill and Ted go back and forth throughout the movie saying lovable and memorable phrases such as "most excellent!" "bodacious!" and "be excellent to each other, dudes."This film is one of the greats not only because of its influence on other films and creating two new stars in Alex Winter (now a director) and Keanu Reeves, but Bill and Ted is a family-friendly comedy anyone of any age can enjoy. Simply amazing!
