European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 11, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Mini i n Ikus a a a a a a a a a a a a Orion pictures Alex Winter left William Sadler and Keanu Reeves right Star in the teen comedy Bill and teds bogus journey. On Mon ii still and Ted s bogus journey rated pg_1/2 must see Worth your time passable entertainment a coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait if the idea of two addled teens facing off with the grim reaper in a game of clue tickles your funny Bone then you la probably enjoy this cultural anomaly. As a sequel Bill and Ted s bogus journey is actually a step up from the original Bill and teds excellent adventure because it has a More compact a if equally goofy a Structure. Some people might interpret it As a sad commentary on the state of american adolescence but if you put your brain in Idle and immerse yourself in the strange world of Bill Alex Winter and Ted Keanu Reeve you la find that these Guys follow a weird logic All their own. This time out the premise such As it is has the boys seeking to assure their future destiny. Seems that Way off in the 27th Century they re revered As heroes a there seven a Bill and Ted University a truly frightening thought. But an evil future dude Joss Ackland the Sleazy South african Diplomat in lethal weapon ii conspires to Send two evil robot copies of Bill and Ted Back in time to kill the boys and erase their legacy. The funniest scenes Are the ones featuring death played with Quirky Effee. Riveness by William Sadler who was the crazed bad Guy in die hard 2. In a Takeoff on a scene from Ingmar bergmans the seventh Seal death proposes a Competition. If the boys win they get to live. If not Well you know what happens. In bergmans film the game was chess but Bill and Ted would never opt for something so bourgeoisie. They pick clue. But when they win death something of a poor sport insists on two out of three. The boys pick battleship and win again. Death wants three out of five so its on to electric football. Death wants four out of seven. The gag becomes somewhat Bel bored but its still funny to see the grim reaper sprawled like a pretzel on a twister mat. Another funny moment has the boys plunging Down a pitch Black abyss toward hell. And plunging and plunging and plunging. A dude a Bill finally says to his buddy a this is a totally deep  when they finally hit Bottom to find that hell is hardly As terrifying As they had envisioned Bill observes a we got totally lied to by our album  the Chris Matheson de Solomon script is not without its Clunky moments however. When Bill and Ted confront the Devil for example this scintillating conversation ensues a a who a that a a who do you think it is a a ooh  along the Way there Are lots of a most excellent so one of the boys la verite catch phrases and plenty of air guitar wizardry. There a a slight subplot in which the boys must save the 15th-Century princesses whom they met in the original although the girls Are largely ignored. George Carlin reprises his role As Rufus the Telephone Booth time traveler and in addition to death and the Devil there Are also cameos by Albert Einstein the easter Bunny god and a pair of hairy martians. Its All silly but if you can avoid thinking about the broader implications of the popularity of this wafer thin concept its not a bad Way to blow a couple of hours.
