Bill S. Preston Esq.(Alex Winter) and Theodore “Ted” Logan (Keanu Reeves) are two high school students who have a
totally awesome band named “The Wyld Stallyns ” …well they aren’t that good but
I promise according to Rufus (George Carlin) they become the band that creates
world peace. To do this they must stay together though and practice, but that
will be hard if Ted gets sent off to military school due to him failing
history. Rufus shows up and gives Bill and Ted a time machine to go back in
time and learn about the people they must write a report on. Instead of writing
a report though the guys decide to bring the people of the past back in to the
future with them and do a verbal report with them all. With the help of Joan of
Arc, Genghis Khan, Socrates, Billy the Kid, Napoleon, Freud, Abe Lincoln, and
Beethoven can the boys get the A they need to pass history and keep the group
together? Or is Ted doomed to go to military school and ruin the perfect world
they were supposed to create?
Reeves and Winter do an amazing job as dumb high school
wannabe rock stars. “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” will have you laughing
your butt off with lines like “Iron maiden EXCELLENT *play air guitar*” and
“All we are, is dust in the wind…dude” your sides will hurt from the nonstop
stupidity and hilarious antics these two get into with history’s greatest
people. You will pray that the band stays together and hope that they get an A.
