Bill & Ted Face the Music
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter revisit Bill & Ted, nearly 30 years after Bogus Journey. The metalhead dummies are now middle-aged dads, still with dreams of making the big time with their band, the Wyld Stallyns. But, out of luck and inspiration, they get back to their time travelling ways to find the song that will set their world right and avoid the apocalypse. And how do they plan to get the track they're destined to play? By stealing it from their future selves, of course.

flicksBill And Ted Unite The World (Again With Their Daughters)
This weekend the long-awaited threequel to the Bill and Ted franchise lands in cinemas all across the country. Twenty Nine years after their bogus journey and Thirty-One after their excellent adventure, Bill and Ted return to the big screen with their grown-up daughters, this time to Face the music. The film takes place Twenty Nine years after the events...

pressNo way is it bogus, but one can’t help feel that, with a little more fine-tuning (and Weaving and Lundy-Paine) this could have been excellent.
IGN
pressBill & Ted Face the Music is a pleasant escape for the quarantine-stricken, a sweet and entertaining romp that defies expectations by largely recapturing what worked about the series so many years later.
Variety
pressOn a scale of one to 10, I wouldn't say that "Face the Music" goes to 11, but it's a most excellent sequel.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDespite 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.
IndieWire
pressA 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. Talk about movie magic.
Entertainment Weekly
pressMostly, the joy comes from watching Reeves and Winter on screen, two holy fools just doing their best to bring light and love and non-heinous riffs - and remind the bleary-eyed citizens of 2020, perhaps, of a simpler, sweeter world gone by.
The New York Times
pressI don't know if it made me feel young or old, but it was all in all a most non-bogus experience.
CNN
pressBesides, at a moment when saving reality as we know it doesn't sound quite so far-fetched, there's something mildly reassuring about watching "Bill & Ted" blithely joined in rocking on, even if true excellence eludes them.
New York Post
pressThe plot... rips off the original - which was thin to begin with - and makes it worse.
A.V. Club
pressThe film simply takes too long to find its focus. It's not the most excellent of outcomes, but not a total bummer, either.
Slant Magazine
pressThe film suggests that Bill and Ted's dreams of stardom, which have evolved into dreams of acceptance and expression, aren't so stupid after all.
