Evil Bill and Evil Ted kidnap and kill the half-wit heroes. The real Bill and Ted then set out on an adventure which takes them from Hell to Heaven. They are aided by the Grim Reaper (William Sadler) after they defeat him in a send up of Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal."

Can our heroes be restored to life and defeat the evil robots from the future? Will Bill and Ted be able to win back the love of their fair maidens from medieval England? Yawn.

I like stupid in movies. However, there is good-stupid and bad-stupid. The Three Stooges knew how to play good-stupid. Wayne and Garth are the epitome of modern good-stupid. Bill and Ted are worse than bad-stupid. This movie is just one of many bad movies hoisted on the public by greedy studio heads who aim for the lowest common denominator. I dare anyone who liked this movie as a kid or teenager to say that they still enjoy it.

The only reason I gave this movie a "3" instead of a "0" is because of a funny and against type performance by William Sadler as the Grim Reaper. The usually villainous Sadler creates the only character with any heart in the movie.

There are also some very good special effects, especially in the scene in which Bill and Ted go to Hell. It is a shame for viewers that they didn't remain there. At least there wasn't another sequel! If anyone ever proposes one, I hope someone drives a stake through their heart.

Picture Quality: 8/10
The quality varies. The movie does have some expensive visual effects mixed with some very cheesy effects. The scene in Hell is a standout. All in all, the movie is all dressed up but goes nowhere.

Sound Quality: 8/10
The surround sound is good, but who wants to listen!

Menu: 0/10
It is easy to navigate, but it is the most annoying thing I've ever come across. The menu has Bill and Ted yelling as they fall into Hell. if you want to drive someone crazy, duct tape them to a chair and leave them in a room with this menu running in perpetuity. I hope Hell isn't like this in real life!

Extra Features: 1/10
I give MGM a "1" because they actually put an extra on the DVD. The "Behind the Scenes" featurette consists of Bill and Ted sitting in chairs and explaining their lingo. If the youth of America were really like these two there would be know hope for the future. I only fear that they might grow up to be studio heads.

The Final Word:
Shake the dust off of your feet. Not even worth the price of rental. If someone gives you this DVD for Christmas, they probably don't like you. Don't turn your back on them!
