Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) starring Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, George Carlin. Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves), two airheads on the verge of flunking out of high school, are given the opportunity to travel through time and gather famous figures for their final report in History. Carlin plays Rufus, a man from the far future who comes back to give them guidance. This is basically a silly movie with the most slender of plots, and little to recommend it unless you are a fan of Reeves and want to see him in an early film. (To the DVD's credit, it does offer subtitles in English and also closed captions for the hearing-impaired.) Grade: C
