Story: Once told they'd save the universe during a time-traveling adventure, 2 would-be rockers from San Dimas, California find themselves as middle-aged dads still trying to crank out a hit song and fulfill their destiny.

Like: "Be Excellent to each other and Party on Dude" a well known phase from the late 80s movie Bill and ted Excellent Adventure about two weed smokers that find them self in a destiny to save the world with music. While the film back then had some funny moment with slap stick comedy, it was more of a fan base film, which was ok film to for me more of a fan favorite for others.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter definitely slide into these roles comfortable like they never left the roles and still giving the great performances, while they try to find the music to save the world his time, there are moments through the film that were funny but alot of it was dumb fun style of comedy, so it bascial its a switch your brain off film just watch it for what it is film.

For the fans of Bill and Ted their is alot of Nostalgia with past characters returns minus the one character Rufus played by George Carlin who sadly past away in 2008, but new character bring some light entertainment to the film. While the film does bring alot of great acting the film does have a few things hat slight bring down the film, but the film was just ok, which is shame after 30 years with the reunion this could be better.

Its Bill and Ted Face the music good, yes and no but it would really depend on the audience watching it as well as fans but give a great send off for them. .      

     

Dislikes: The only think is the fact its meant to be a Bill and ted film, instead for some reason Bill and Ted daughters where doing all the work they were supposed to do, it feels more like they were doing what Bill and Ted did in the first film, which i feel they should have been move involved in the film instead of going around doing stupid things. 

Its supposed to be about Bill and Ted but instead their girls seem to be the main stars of the film, kind of taking the Bill and ted out the film slightly i think this was a bad direction, that could be promote a female Bill and ted future film with the girls.   

Overall: OK film, great acting, alot of Nostalgia for fans 

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 6.7 out of 10 for Third film
