Bill & Ted

 

Socrates loves baseball and soap operas. .
             Upon returning to San Dimas they take all of the people to the local mall so that they present what they think of San Dimas today. Where else can you see Joan of Arc doing aerobics, Beethoven playing an electric organ/piano, Socrates and Billy the kid picking up women, and Genghis Khan skate board through a sporting goods store? They are all taken into custody by mall security and then taken to the police station and placed under arrest. Bill and Ted are able to get them out of jail to make it to their history report just in the nick of time. They receive an A+ on the presentation which means they pass the class, Ted won't be sent away to military school, and the Wyld Stallyns won't break up. The world will be a most excellent place in the future. .
             Is the acting great in the movie? No, not even close. However, it was exceptionally funny and it was a box office hit, surprisingly the film still holds up today. I don't believe that the story called for great acting but actors that were believable in the parts. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves do just that and George Carlin is what I would call an actor actor, not a personality actor. He doesn't have much range and he just seems to be himself and I believe that is what people expect from him and why he is cast in movies. He does do a great job of delivering funny lines with certain straightness. The only other person of note in the movie is Joan of Arc, played by Jane Wiedlin, you might know her as one of the Go-Go's, and all female rock back from the 80s" She had very few lines in the movie so that may be the reason that this cross over worked. .
             The special effects are also very good for their time. The best effects take place whenever Bill and Ted are traveling inside "the circuits of time,"" a vast network of time passages. The trick of these spectacular effects is not only to make them real, but to ever have imagined them in the first place.
