Our Flick of the Week is ”Bill & Ted`s Excellent Adventure,” an intentionally sophomoric but rarely amusing fantasy.
The story involves a couple of suburban California boys (Alexander Winter and Keanu Reeves) who meet up with a time machine and take a trip through history collecting famous people to help them pass their history exam.
More time is spent by the boys saying ”excellent” or ”man” to each other than engaging any of the famous persons such as Napoleon, Freud, Billy the Kid or Socrates in conversation.
”Bill & Ted`s Excellent Adventure” is playing at the Chestnut Station and outlying theaters. Rated PG. (STAR)(STAR)
