The characters in the movie are hilarious. In the movie Bill and Ted travel to France in 1805 where through a mishap bring to the future Napoleon; in 1879, Wild, Wild West they nab Billy the Kid; in 410 B.C., Athens, Greece they entice Socrates; in 15th Century, England they meet the Princesses that were to be married to the Royal Ugly dudes, they manage to escape the iron maiden and execution with the help of Billy the Kid and Socrates; with damage to their time-traveling phone booth they land in the 2600’s, in the future and find that the people there worship the ground that they walk on, that life is most excellent mainly due to their influence and music; in 190

“Bill & Ted” is the shaggiest of shaggy dog stories. The movie is mounted entirely on the notion of having these two wholly oblivious geeks mix with the great minds of the world – not in and of itself a bankrupt premise for a teen comedy. But Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, who wrote the script, have made only the sketchiest attempts to draw their historical characters. They exist as foils and nothing else, and the gags that are hung on them are far from first-rate.

The story/plotline was interesting, but not great. I believe that the writing was good for what it was. It wasn’t a movie about brain surgery it was a movie about two teenaged boys in San Dimas, California, in the late 80’s. The movie brought great words into our vocabularies, teenagers and adults alike. Words such as ‘bodacious’ and ‘bogus’ and sayings such as ‘Most Excellent’, ‘Be excellent to each other’, and ‘Party on Dudes’. I honestly know people who want “Be excellent to each other” engraved on their tombstone. They may have been regional to California at the time but the movie brought them across the United States. Stephen Herek, the director, has also done movies such as Life or Something Like it, Rock Star, Mr. Holland’s Opus, and The Three Musketeers. I don’t know that I would have been able to pick that up had I not done the research. Each movie seems to have a style each its own, which I think is rare in most cases. Usually you have a director that you see one of his movie and you know at some point during the movie that it has been done by the same director, but not with this one.

Together, these San Dimas, Calif., teens probably couldn’t muster the brain power to operate soap. Their dream of dreams is to be global rock stars, and every afternoon they plug their guitars into their amps and imagine themselves as the Wyld Stallyns – their band’s name – living the wild life. Never mind that they can’t play, they’re flunking history, and the threat of military school or worse looms large in the very near future.

If they are to avoid these disastrous events, they must give a history presentation to end all history presentations. And since it’s scheduled for the next day, only a miracle can save them. When the needed miracle arrives it takes the unlikely form of George Carlin, who materializes in a phone bo
