Summary: Ruefully hilarious
Review: Familiar scene - two dudes in high school, dumb as a rock about anything important, stuck in a bind and suddenly learn a lesson. The sad thing is that the situation depicted here is sadly true in a lot of schools today. My kids loved the movie- thought the guys so stupid as to be hilarious. Dude, it was awesome...(you know). Not much history taught here - Socrates (pronounced by the boy wonders "So-crates") and Joan of French fame (Noah's wife - cute). The rest - Beethoven, Ghengis, Billy the Kid - are all window dressing. Strictly a "forget your troubles" flick but still good for young teens.

Summary: great movie. watch it over and over
Review: bill and ted's excellent adventure is a great movie.
I saw this movie when i was 8 on hbo and then when i was 15 on comedy central and fell in love with it right away.
Bill S. Preston Squire and Ted theodore logan want their band WYLD STALLYNS to become a super band and get a triumphant video.
One thing in their way, lack of talent and they are flunking history.
If ted flunks history his dad will send him to an alaskan military school and seperate bill and ted and alter the future by doing this.
BIll and TED are supposed to make the future great and create world piece and make the world clean and excellent water slides of course.
So, the three most important people in the world decide to send RUFUS, a cool futuristic guide down to san dimas, california in th past 1989 before the splitting of bill and ted can occur and stop it by helping them pass history bu getting an a on their report.
rufus lends them a time machine that looks like a telephone booth.
They dial a number and can go to any point in time they wish and grab historical figures for their oral report presentation.
Great comedy, lots of adventure, sets and special effects pretty good. It's got some romance, with bill and ted meeting two beautiful princess in medevil england.It's got keanu reeves and ALEX WINTER (marko from the lost boys)in it as the two dopey valley dudes bill and ted.
what more culd u ask for.
This movie is only ten dolars at bestbuy as is the sequel.
so go buy it if u don't already own it.
dont rent it becuase this film on tape as a blockbuster rental has been rented a million times and will eat ur vcr so just put out ten bucks and enjoy it.
u won't be sorry! It's nice to stair at gorgeous alex winter , bill, the shorter one with the perfect abbs and the blonde curly hair. lol enjoy!
PARTY ON DUDES!
BE EXCELLENT TO EACHOTHER!
HOW'S IT GOING ROYAL UGLY DUDES!
NO WAAYYYYYY!

Summary: Comic genious or intellagent beyond belief
Review: Most of the reviews will say "Totally awsome movie dude" or some other 80's term to describe the movie, for this I feel i have to write this review. Number one: this is a movie for the smart kids, Bill and Teds relationship with each other is a symbol of decaying humanity but no matter how bad the world is there is at least one other person that feels your pain. When Bill and Ted have to find Napoleon, they are not only looking for a lost historical figure but also they are searching for their inner selves. Ted being threatend to be sent of to boot camp is quite obviously represenative of the ozone layer being destroyed. So if you think it is just some silly teen movie from the 80's think again. God I love oysters

Summary: Excellent Unpretentious Fun.
Review: Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) are sweet, fun-loving, but not academically inclined high school students in danger of flunking out if they don't get a passing grade on their history presentation. And flunking out will mean military school! Just when they are becoming discouraged by their paltry knowledge of history, a time traveler named Rufus (George Carlin) arrives from the future to help them out by providing a time machine they can use to travel through history and bring back the makings of an excellent history presentation. If the plot of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" sounds so silly that it turns you off, you might want to reconsider. I was surprised to find that, for all of its silliness, this is not a dumb movie. I didn't expect much from two air-headed Southern California "valley boys" and a time machine that is straight out of "Doctor Who". But I found this to be a good-natured, occasionally clever comedy that is just a lot of fun. Bill and Ted are earnest, unassuming, thoroughly likable guys who enjoy their excellent adventure through time to the fullest, which encourages the audience to do the same. I appreciated that this film didn't use the usual fish-out-of-water gags in which people from the past act like idiots when confronted with the modern world. That's not to say that the historical figures in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" act realistically. A movie that flits through time in a phone booth isn't trying to be realistic. But none of the characters are stupid or cower at the sight of modern gadgets. The film has a distinctly '80s feel that will give those who remember that era a trip down memory lane. And it even has a nice little message that it doesn't cram down your throat. "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" is unpretentious chuckle-inducing fun. On the DVD, subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish. The only bonus feature is one theatrical trailer.

Summary: Zeitgeist 1988
Review: This film vouchsafed us the megastardom of that great contemporary thespian, K Reeves, esq., so you do have to wonder what poor Alex Winter (William S. Preston to his friends) can have done to irritate the Hollywood Gods. Where Reeves can count Shakespeare comedies and the Matrix Trilogy on his CV, the best Alex Winter can claim seems to be Death Wish III. In any event, this is a great romp of a film, and it's much funnier that the highbrow critics (Amazon's included) realise. The sequel is even funnier (the Dutch Grim Reaper has to be seen to be believed) but in the first instalment there are enough buried gags about Iron Maidens and Bon Jovi's influence on Beethoven for this to rate very highly on the rewatchability scale. Party on, Dudes.

Summary: Good Movie, subpar DVD
Review: I have always loved this movie. Cheesy 80s Guitar, Keanu at his seemingly best and worst all with a fun plot. It still is great fun to watch today, and it definately brings back major memories of the 80s. The DVD has a decent picture and good sound but its lacking in any kind of special features whatsoever. I would still reccomend getting it though, its worth it.

Summary: Intelligent Time Travel
Review: Excellent Adventure is one of the best time travel movies ever made. It falls into the category of predestination paradox, in which travelling through time changes nothing, since one's participation in past events was part of the original "way things were supposed to happen." This is by far the most logical time travel paradigm; as those who wondered about the Marty McFly paradox at the end of the first Back to the Future (when Marty returns back to the night he left and sees himself, isn't that an alternate version thereof, who grew up with rich and successful parents?) might agree. What makes Excellent Adventure great is the flourish with which the film revels in this paradigm. Bill and Ted meet themselves, twice. The eleventh hour, saved, by the deus ex machina of the protagonist's own off-screen intervention from some point in the future. Grand stuff.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: I first saw Bill & Ted back in the late 80's and fell totally in love. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This is one of the funnies clean comedies you will ever see. It stars one of the best actors in Hollywodd with Keanu Reeves as Ted Thedore Logan and Alex Winter as Bill S Preston Esquire. These two metal fans are trying to start there band the Wyld Stallions. When there parents find out the two are failing history they get slammed. Ted's dad threaten's to send him to military school. No way man. If that happens the band won't form and world peace won't happen in the future. Rufius(Carlin) is sent back in time to help them. He gives them a time machine so they can go back and learn history so they can pass there class. What a movie plot. Pretty original and creative. Reeves and Winter are awesome. Everybody knows who Reeves his, and this was his first big hit and one of his most successful of all time. He plays the metal head to perfection as does Winters. The two deserve more credit for what they did with this movie. It formed a sequel, and there was a hit cartoon show for a while after it. The 80's music is great in the movie. If hair metal is your thing you should like it just for that. My favorite part of the movie is in the San Dimas mall. Seeing all the historical characters there, and what they do is hilarious. I've never seen a person not laugh at that. Overall it's a five star and a must see. I was a little disappointed with the extras the DVD had to offer, but was so excited to see it on DVD. So sit down and prepare yourself for an excellent adventure with Bill and Ted. Your sure to like it.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I couldn't find this for rental anywhere in my sad little town, so it wasn't until a trip to see my cousins that I wass able to witness this monument of motion picture history. I gotta tell you, this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I mean, it's got Matrix man Keanu Reeves starring as your regular underachieving metalhead in the 1980s. How cool is that! And it gets better. He and his friend will, in the distant future, unite the universe in peace and harmony with their awesome music. But there are problems: They're failing History and don't know how to play guitar. So they send back a dude from this possible future to ensure that they become succeed their destiny. He equips them with a time travelling phone booth to aid them in their research for their oral History final. They decide to kidnap major historical figures to use in their presentation. It goes without saying that this could have hilarious results. But I need not reveal any more! Go and buy this forgotten gem, I know I will... when I find it... {Darn}, why does all the good stuff have to be out of stock on this site?
