Critics Consensus

As wholesomely goofy as its heroes, Bill and Ted Face the Music is a rare long-belated sequel that largely recaptures the franchise's original charm.

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Quickly collapses into something resembling a wobbly charity reunion, which fans may find themselves trying their hardest to enjoy through gritted teeth.

Rated: 2/5

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

We could all do with a little dose of Bill and Ted's optimism - the simple belief that kindness and camaraderie can bring us all together.

Rated: 4/5

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh

Metro Newspaper (UK)

It's totally excellent (cue air guitar) to rediscover a corner of this dulled universe where joy and innocence still shine.

Rated: 4/5

Bill & Ted Face The Music is likeable and easygoing, a sequel without a hint of cynicism, which should appeal both to anyone venerable enough to remember the original movies and newcomers alike.

Rated: 4/5

I hate emotional manipulation, but it worked, and I felt something at the end of the film as music becomes the unifying force in the face of divisions such as time, country, race and gender.

A few years ago, when this was announced, many complained that we didn’t need another Bill and Ted movie. I am happy to report that they were wrong.

An insipid sequel that obviously lost its way and fails miserably. The few funny parts can't change the illogical story of this waste of celluloid. When did their son's from Bogus Journey become daughters? And Why? Just a waste of time. Too bad Bill and Ted from Excellent Adventure don't go back and stop this from being made!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Ok sequel. Why Louis Armstrong and Jimi Hendrix? There were better musicians they could have chosen. Jack Haven is anything but. Leave it in hell next time. Confusing at times but the ending is good.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this. Funny, charming, great cast. I only wish there'd been more Bill & Ted in it, because despite all the other likable characters, they were still the funniest.
