Like, radical, dude--but not nearly as funny as it should be, even though it was a box-office hit. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are a pair of dim Valley boys, whose life is made heinous by a school history project. Enter George Carlin as a futuristic dude with a time-traveling phone booth. So Bill and Ted go back in time to round up a gang of historical figures (Socrates, Joan of Arc) to bring back for their presentation. Abe Lincoln at the mall? That's about as witty as it gets, rendering this the kind of comedy that gives teenaged audiences a bad name. --Marshall Fine It is the future. Society has at last solved all its major problems, thanks to amiable lunkheads Bill and Ted and the inspiring music of their band, Wyld Stallyns. Only one man is dissatisfied with the way things have turned out, the evil De Nomolos. In an effort to change the future, De Nomolos sends evil Bill and Ted robots back in time to prevent the real Bill and Ted from winning a pivotal Battle of the Bands. What follows is a spirited journey through the afterlife as Bill and Ted try to rescue their girlfriends, save the future, and, oh, yeah, learn how to play the guitar. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey swings easily between childish and clever humor, and is good at both: a Bergman reference is quickly followed by an equally funny bit about Death's stinky feet. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter seem happy to be reprising their roles and even manage to add funny spins on Evil Robot Bill and Ted. William Sadler very nearly steals the movie as Death, playing both his wounded dignity and budding desire to be funky to a T. As if that weren't enough, George Carlin returns as Rufus and Pam Grier does a cameo just for the hell of it. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is ample proof that not all sequels suck. Sometimes they're even better than the original. --Ali Davis

This is my favorite collection from my pre-teen years!! Is the acting first class? No, but both movies are so fun that I don't think that matters. My kids now love to watch these movies as well. Great movies for popcorn and turning your brain off.

I was very excited when I got this DVD set for Christmas 2006!
It was all I hoped for, because I have loved watching the Bill and Ted movies before!
Anybody should know who Bill and Ted are;
Bill and Ted are two most excellent dudes that go on time travel adventures! Bill S. Preston Esquire is played by Alex Winter and Ted 'Theodore' Logan is played by Keanu Reeves!
In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill and Ted have to pass their history report in high school. On top of that, Ted's dad is threatening to send him to military school. Then they'll never start their band, Wyld Stylns, talk about bogus!
Never fear dudes, the time traveling dude Rufus is here; played by the comedian George Carlin. Rufus helps Bill and Ted them out by letting them travel through time in a time traveling phone booth... so they can collect historical figures, like Napoleon, Joan of Arc, and So-crates for their history report.
It's an outstanding movie, but don't leave out Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.
In the sequel; Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, Bill and Ted are trying to get their band, Wyld Stylns into the Battle of the Bands. On top of that, they want to propose to their princesses! But trouble is a foot, in the disquise of Evil Robot Bill and Ted; who have orderes from a non-henious dude named De Nomolos to kill Bill and Ted.
Bill and Ted wind up plumeting to their deaths, and now have to travel through hell. Bill and Ted will have to unlist the help of the Grim Reaper, but first have to beat him in a board game. They come back to life, and then with the help of a martian scientist, Bill and Ted comfront the evil robot Bill and Ted, and also De Nomolos at the Battle of the Bands.
This DVD set comes with both movies, with the best high definition sound enhancement. On top of that, there's a most excellent bonus disc with special features.
Some of these special features include; a conversation with the creators of Bill and Ted, a how to speak like Bill and Ted, an interview with Steve Vai who worked on the soundtracl's score, an air guitar session with two air guitar professionals, and my personal favorite... the debut of the first Bill and Ted cartoon episode, (which is just as excellent to watch as both movies)!
If anyone, who is anyone who loves Bill and Ted, then you should definately get this DVD set; because it's most excellent! So be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!

I saw Bill and Ted as a teen-ager. Now my 14 year-old son and pre-teen kids love it. Their friends have come over and seen these movies and really enjoyed them, too. They are clean movies and are different enough from everything else, it keeps kids entertained.
 Bill & Teds Most Excellent Collection November 3, 2006

If you loved the movies, you'll love the collection, but the bonuses are a bit lacking, as they have no extra fotage.
