Usually, whenever I tell people I have an actual list of movies to watch, they snatch my phone and write some more. One of my best friends from home put down Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure which I knew nothing about. Last night my friend and I wanted to watch a movie so we watched the trailer for this movie and thought it was funny and decided to watch the whole movie.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure starts with two high school boys, Bill and Ted, who wish to pursue their band together, despite not being able to play their instruments. It follows the boys to their school in history class, where their teacher tells them that if they don’t get an A+ on their next report that they will fail the class. Ted’s father threatens Ted by telling him that if he doesn’t do well and pass the history class than he would be sending him off to a military school. Scared they won’t be able to continue with the band, the boys get working on history. While the boys make a stop at a Circle K, they meet Rufus, who arrives in a telephone booth from the future. Rufus came to save Ted and Bill and make sure that they pass their history report as this would drastically affect the future. The boys follow him into the telephone booth which works as a time machine. Rufus first brings them to Austria in 1805 to see Napoleon and the French army. As they go through time, they meet more and more historical figures, each teaching about themselves and the time period all in an effort to help save their history report.
Like I said before, I had no expectations when starting this but I found this movie really enjoyable and funny. I found myself laughing out loud and my friend was as well. I would definitely recommend this movie if you are looking for a laugh. I thought they did a good job of showing the different time periods and historical figures in a comedic way. If I were to rate this movie I would give a 7.5/10. I realized that for the past 3 posts I have done comedies so I will try to maybe switch things up for my last blog post. If you have a suggestion I am always looking for new movies to add to the list.
My friend found the movie online and I honestly don’t know from where. I checked on Netflix and I didn’t see it there. If you can find it though, I would definitely recommend!

I have never heard of this movie either. I was not sure where I expected the plot to go but a time machine was not it! haha. I really enjoyed this blog post!
This movie seems really interesting. I thought it would be show about some high school students. I should try to watch this movie as I really enjoy comedies.
I have also never heard of this music. But ever since I started reading your reviews on movies, I have always wondered where you find theses movies. In a way they all seem to have a similar vibe. I think it is interesting because they are things always out of my comfort zone. I also I love any movie involving a time machine.
