third Bill & Ted movie that would rather be charming than frantic, and ups the stakes without feeling the need to get louder or more aggressive; For a movie in which the world could end at any moment, Bill & Ted Face the Music is awfully sweet and cheery
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reunite for a most excellent sequel; The film is weightless and super-goofy -- a blissed-out air balloon of nostalgia; It zips right along, it makes you smile and chortle, it's a surprisingly sweet-spirited love story
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter look like they're having a blast getting the band back together in a fun but forgettable time-travelling comedy. Neither bodacious nor bogus
in such stolen moments, you sense the depth of a friendship so profoundly felt and so deeply comforting that you think to yourself, I would follow these guys anywhere
an uneven but likable return; Despite a dicey opening, the pic should please those looking forward to it, and, with the addition of a new generation (the duo's daughters), attract a new fan or two as well
a delightful celebration of stupidity that could save the world; A little stupid idealism can go a long way, and "Face the Music" makes the case that morons can come together to set the world right
"Bill & Ted Face the Music" is delightfully dumb; Mostly, the joy comes from watching Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter on screen, two holy fools just doing their best to bring light and love and non-heinous riffs
