The ruler of the future tells best friends Bill and Ted they must compose a new song to save life as we know it. But instead of writing it, they decide to travel through time to steal it from their older selves. Meanwhile, their young daughters devise their own musical scheme to help their fathers bring harmony to the universe.

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.

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

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.

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

The Bill and Ted series will endure as pop-culture classics, and this entry doesn’t let the brand down; it’s most awesome, totally non-bogus, and has a positive message...

In theory, it's nice to imagine that those amiable airheads Bill and Ted would have been the ones to save 2020 from being a complete downer, but this belated sequel feels more wheezy than anything.

It’s sweet and silly, with all the innocence and whimsy of the original films, and nary a cynical or sarcastic note in the entire journey.

A solid legacy sequel with the same writers and sincerity of the originals. Alex Winter still acts great like Bill, even after all these years. Kenau Reeves feels more stoic in his post-John Wick career. Bill & Ted's daughters are spot-on with their impressions. I have mixed feelings about the retcon that Bill and Ted still haven't changed the world with their song yet. It's a retcon, but at least it's at the beginning and it's funny with time warping because they haven't made the universe saving song yet Missy getting married AGAIN at the start Ted's little brother was hilarious, especially the line "Making my Dad his own son". The double couples therapy was funny. I liked the funny robot character Dennis. I liked the fun time blending concert. There's a big retcon that their daughters made the song, while Bill and Ted still performed it while passing instruments to everyone across time. It's a funny and sincere sequel that maintains the spirit and passion of the originals.

An attempt to recapture the past, falls flat.
