VOD: Bill & Ted Face The Music (dir: Dean Parisot, 2020)

"Dude - with all due respect, I don't think you're quite getting this!"

Bill & Ted 3 could have been a disaster, but a sensibly long wait for the right script and director brings the same qualities as the two previous outings - it is a good-natured, silly runaround that pinballs around different time periods and iterations of the dopey duo to mildly humorous effect.  With Bill & Ted now middle-aged, their two daughters are a welcome addition, and the 'greatest hits' touches are inevitably rewarding when they happen.  Unlike their song, this film is not a world-changer and it could hardly be called essential, but it is pleasant viewing nonetheless.
