For anyone who is old enough to remember or who has HBO, you must have seen Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure either as a kid or recently on TV. The movie is the classic bromance movie where two idiots, in a going nowhere band are about to flunk out of History which will cause them to not graduate High School. If this occurs Ted will be shipped off to Alaska to join a military academy which will cause the break up of Bill and Ted’s band Wyld Stallyns. Though which may seem incignificant at the time to everyone around them, it’s catastrophic to the future of the world where Wyld Stallyns music has become the key factor in the cause for world unity and peace. To make sure this doesn’t happen a professor from a notable University in the future travels back in time to make sure they pass their history test, how you ask? By having them travel back in time with a time machine phone booth to kidnap various historical icons to help them pass their history final.
Though the plot is absolutely absurd and Bill and Ted’s characters are two surfer dude stoners who say nothing but “Dude” and “No Way!” the movie is classic and absolutely hilarious with Alex Winter as Bill, Keanu Reeves as Ted and George Carlin as Rufus. The movie makes various references to classic metal acts and when something goes their way they always tend to airguitar to each other. The soundtrack is filled with classic songs and to see important figures in history acting like complete dudes is just priceless. The scene where Bill and Ted go to get Socrates they keep calling him So- Crates and get him to come along by singing a line from a Poison song as if it’s some philosophical line. The movie is a classic in the music and comedy genre and for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie I won’t spoil the obvious ending but you can pick up the movie along with the equally hilarious sequel for like 20 bucks. It’s for people who are only “Non, Non Henious”
