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.

Was complete rubbish, and I agree it could have been a lot better but I thought Bridget Lundy stole the show with her nailing all of her father, Ted's characteristics. For a general entertaining evening of rubbishy TV it was worth a watch.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Still a real fun movie but could have been so much better. Many many things just don’t make sense. But still a fun movie.
