Sometimes, I like to go to a high end steakhouse and buy a big fat medium cooked eye fillet, covered in a sweet garlic sauce, and topped with king prawns. I will usually wash it all down with a glass of very expensive whiskey that has a very unique and complex finish...
Aaaaaand other times, I really just want a cheeseburger and a beer.
Bill and Ted are that cheeseburger and beer.
And if you go into a burger house expecting a rib eye and expensive whiskey, of course you are going to be disappointed.
It isn't a movie that requires a deep plot and emotive scenes in the rain.
It is a harmless flick about friendship, music, and the childhood dreams of ours that never really leave us, no matter how old we are.
Bill and Ted were like two dumb puppies, that no matter how many times they run into the wall, you can't help but shake your head and laugh.
Now, they are grown up into big dumb scooby-doo dogs, and you get to watch them and their puppies run into walls together.
I am sure Keanu could be doing blockbusters right now, but he wanted to do this instead. This was an ultimate fan service movie meant as a thank you gift for the old fans.
I have read some weird reviews saying things like "This movie is trying to be politically correct, like calling girls princesses instead of babes".
Well... that is because the girls ARE princesses, duh. And I didn't notice any other political agenda in there. Some people don't really don't like women in movies that don't just get tied up by the bad guys.
I watched B&T growing up and I can't thank everyone involved enough for letting me step into their world one last time. Me and the Mrs both walked our with charmed smiles on our faces. Great job guys!
