Review of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) by Faisal A — 07 Apr 2015
Enjoyable but Dumb. It really is a brainless, but cute, exercise in a scenario where you find a time travelling machine that does help you prepare for your history presentation for class. I can't help but ask myself hundreds of snobby, (un)necessary, analytical questions.
If these two suck at history, and are so obviously stupid, is history the only course they are doing? No mathematics, science, art at San Dimas High? The historical figures barely get any character and are somewhat lame, but charming enough to get me through the movie.
The Time travelling aspect itself is not that well thought out. I want to make it clear, I like this movie, I make it a tradition to try and watch it every couple of years, but it would have benefited from being shorter, or just from being better written.
There are laughs and fun memories, but honestly, Napoleon Bonaparte's discovery of the Water Slider will always stay with me, because it truly makes me wonder: Have these important figures from history truly missed out on the "EXCELLENT!" opportunities of life such as the Water Parks of San Dimas?
