Ty Watches "Bill and Ted Face the Music"

For quarantine date night my wife let me choose the movie, it was my turn, and we watched "Bill and Ted Face the Music". First things first, I am a "Bill and Ted" fan. The first movie, the sequel, I truly love them both. I think they are great, they hold up and they are a ton of fun. And after a real tough week last week, I wanted to watch something that would put my mind at ease, and let me laugh for an hour and a half.

"Bill and Ted Face the Music" did just that. I truly enjoyed every single second of the movie. It was a good story, it moved with the time change pretty effortlessly, it was fun, it was funny and damn did I enjoy it. Bill and Ted may have grown up, but they are still teenage rockers at heart. They are speaking at Ted's little brother's wedding to start the movie, Ted's little brother is marrying Missy, who you may remember from the first movie, and they give a very odd speech, and then go into song. They are still searching for that one song that will save humanity, and at the wedding, they decide to play their latest chance at said song. I personally like the song, but everyone else at the wedding, except for their daughter's, is not feeling it. They think it is weird, and they all still don't believe that Bill and Ted traveled through time. Also, yes, they do each have a daughter. They are both married to the princesses from the first movie, again played by someone different, and they have had kids. The daughters are mini versions of their dad's, except they really know a ton about music. They have studied almost every form of music imaginable. The daughters are absolutely fantastic in the movie too. They are very important to the story as well. In fact, after they realize their latest song is not the song to save humanity, they are brought to the future to be told they have one day to write this epic song, that all humanity is in the palm of their hands. But, unlike "Excellent Adventure", Bill and Ted travel to the future to try and find the older versions that wrote this song. This is where a ton of hilarity ensues. The older Bill and Ted's they run into each have their own personal stuff, and every one of them they meet is worse off then the next. But, the daughters take the "Excellent Adventure" path, and they travel back in time to get together some of the greatest musicians ever to help their dad's write this song. They get Jimi Hendrix, Mozart and Louis Armstrong, among others. These actors also did a wonderful job in their portrayals. As we move through the movie, there are pieces of each of the first two movies, and they all work. We get to see the Grim Reaper again, I already talked about Missy, there is a hologram George Carlin, the phone booth is in there, and used plenty, this one has it all. They also added a few new characters, and they were awesome. Kristan Schall plays Carlin's daughter, basically playing his role. And we have a robot, who is supposed to be a killing machine, but gets a conscience somehow, and it is one of the funniest characters in the whole movie. When he reveals he has a name, and says it over and over again, it is great.

I do not want to spoil much because I think people should watch it. I also think you, if you can, see it at home and pay the premium rental price. No matter how good, or how much you want to see a movie, and you think you have to go to a theater, please don't, for your own safety. Watch this stuff at home if you can. Luckily for me, "Bill and Ted Face the Music" was, and I watched it happily and safely from the comfort of my own home. I suggest you do the same.
