“And it worked.”

From Bill and Ted Face the Music.

Since 1989, Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) have known that their music was important to one day unite the world.  However, the last few decades have been rough as both of their marriages with their wives (Erinn Hayes and Jayma Mays) are struggling and their band, Wyld Stallyns, has long since broken up.  When Kelly (Kristen Schaal) arrives from the future to bring Bill and Ted to learn more about the prophecy that is tied to their music, the friends quickly learn that a song they’ll perform later that day will either save or destroy reality.  With time quickly running out and no idea what to write to, they decide to travel to the future to get the completed song from their future selves, so they jump in the original time machine phone booth and begin traveling further into the future for help.  Doubtful of Bill and Ted’s ability to succeed, the Great Leader (Holland Taylor) sends a killer robot, Dennis (Anthony Carrigan), after the musicians to kill them in a last-ditch attempt to save reality.  Kelly returns to the present to warn the musicians, but instead she finds their daughters, Thea (Samara Weaving) and Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine).  When the girls realize that their dads will need a band to perform their reality-saving song with, they borrow Kelly’s time machine so they can travel through history to recruit Jimi Hendrix (DazMann Still), Louis Armstrong (Jeremiah Craft), Mozart (Daniel Dorr), Ling Lun (Sharon Gee), Kid Cudi (as himself), and a cavewoman drummer named Grom (Patty Anne Miller).  Not very good at his programmed job, Dennis accidentally vaporizes the innocent Thea, Billie, and the band members, sending them to hell.  When Bill and Ted learn what Dennis did, they go to rescue their daughters, even if it means facing ex-bandmate, Death (William Sadler), and stopping their search for their completed song.

The third installment in the Bill and Ted franchise, connects the original characters with a talented cast of new characters.  While initially overly ridiculous, the characters’ personalities grow endearing before the movie ends.  Bill and Ted Face the Music provides the perfect funny escape the today’s audiences need.
