Movie title: “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”

Year: 1989

Rating: PG

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, George Carlin, Jane Wiedlin

Running time: 90 minutes

Synopsis: Bill and Ted, two high school students in suburban California, are too preoccupied with dreams for their band “Wyld Stallyns” to worry about school. But when a failing grade in history threatens their hopes of fame, the two use a time machine to compile the ultimate history report.

Laugh factor (scale of 1 to 5): 2

My Angle: The film was predictably goofy – I chuckled on the inside more often than laugh aloud. However, the combination of Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Genghis Khan and Billy the Kid in one setting made for many clever comedic situations.

Similar movies: “Back to the Future,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey”

I was rolling on the floor when: Socrates (in his sandals and full Grecian garb) was attempting to pick up a couple of over-hairsprayed teenage girls at the food court when Sigmund Freud walks over holding a corn dog. It made me think: If Freud had lived in the 21st century, perhaps instead of stating, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar,” he would have said, “Sometimes a corn dog is just a corn dog.”

Favorite quote from the movie: Ted: Your stepmom is cute.

Bill: Shut up, Ted.

Ted: Remember when she was a senior and we were freshmen?

The funniest person I know is: Peter Bray, my classmate and source of comic relief since fifth grade.
