Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Amazon.com

It is the future. Society has at last solved all its major problems, thanks to amiable lunkheads Bill and Ted and the inspiring music of their band, Wyld Stallyns. Only one man is dissatisfied with the way things have turned out, the evil De Nomolos. In an effort to change the future, De Nomolos sends evil Bill and Ted robots back in time to prevent the real Bill and Ted from winning a pivotal Battle of the Bands. What follows is a spirited journey through the afterlife as Bill and Ted try to rescue their girlfriends, save the future, and, oh, yeah, learn how to play the guitar. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey swings easily between childish and clever humor, and is good at both: a Bergman reference is quickly followed by an equally funny bit about Death's stinky feet. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter seem happy to be reprising their roles and even manage to add funny spins on Evil Robot Bill and Ted. William Sadler very nearly steals the movie as Death, playing both his wounded dignity and budding desire to be funky to a T. As if that weren't enough, George Carlin returns as Rufus and Pam Grier does a cameo just for the hell of it. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is ample proof that not all sequels suck. Sometimes they're even better than the original. --Ali Davis

A Rare Superior Sequel.......2007-07-01

This time around bad guys from the future want Bill & Ted dead so there's no peace in the future. They create robot Bill & Ted's to kill them and take their place to make them look bad. They succeed in killing them and Bill & Ted then meet Death (William Sadler from Die Hard 2) who brings them to hell. There they have to relive some of their worse memories in a scene that's more haunting and cool than it is funny.

The laughs come when they have to compete with Death in a bunch of different board games. It's supposed to be that if they beat him in one they can leave but since he's a sore loser he makes them verse him in a few different games before he gives in. The scene works since the under-rated Sadler is in good form as Death and the best reason to see this movie. The scene where Bill and Ted possess police officers gets some laughs as well though. I loved the first one as a kid but trying to get into it now can be hard since it's a bit more corny. The corniest thing about this one is the ending but otherwise it's a good looking film that's also pretty fun.

If there was ever a good a reason to pluck your eyes out on the spot this is it.......2007-04-10

I loved Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It's one of my favorite "teen" flicks. This however, I did not like as much. While the first one was brilliantly stupid, this one was just stupid. Believe me there's a huge difference between the two films. If you watch this, I promise you, you are guaranteed to have your IQ drop. The characters they meet, Station for example, are so stupid looking they remind me of kind of monsters you would find in a little kid's Saturday morning cartoon show. Only in this case, the creature is not animated so it looks million times more ridiculous. I still don't understand why it needed to morph into two little creatures. And the evil Bill and Ted were equally stupid. I mean what was up with them trashing the place for no reason? And why on earth were they detaching their heads? Was this scene really necessary for the general flow of the film? This entire film was ruined by stupid stuff like that. However, if I had found this movie in my cereal box, like some people apparently have, I probably wouldn't be complaining as much. The movie did have some funny parts. At least Bill and Ted's dialogue didn't become redundant......... or at least not in an unfunny way. Their comments were still almost as funny as the first film's, if not funnier in some cases. And the showdown between Death and Bill and Ted was also hilarious, but considering I rented the film and didn't get it in my cereal box, neither of these things makes up for the unwanted appearance of the Easter bunny. What on earth was the director thinking? this film reminds me of a blend of funny jokes with stupid situations. So in conclusion, this movie could have probably been good, if they had changed a few things. Unfortunately, however, they didn't. In result this movie for the most part is unbearable.

P.S. If you haven't seen Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, don't let your opinion of this film get in the way. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was hilarious beyond belief.

Great Movie.......2006-11-17

If you need a quick and easy way to get some laughs, then this movie is for you. Bill and Ted play lots of games with Death and meet Station a weird but somewhat gross character that helps them with their adventures. Makes one think about life again...

Excellent Adventure, but way Bogus Journey.......2006-05-16

This movie was nowhere near the original, so should you wish to watch it, don't expect to be in stitches the whole time. I honestly like it less and less each time I watch it, which to me is a mark of a bad movie. It does have it's moments, hence the 2 stars (it is after all Bill and Ted, it HAS to have moments!). My suggestion is rent/borrow it before purchasing it. If you love it--buy it. If not--don't.

"Drop and give me...Infinity" .......2006-02-06

Bill S. Preston and Ted "Thedore" Logan return in this movie to stop thier evil robot selves. To do so, the dopey duo goes to hell and heaven to find anyone that will help them. Enter: The Grim Reaper and Station. Station is the universe's greatest genius. Station is actually two aliens combined into one huge alien. Station easily makes "Good" versions of Bill and Ted.
This sequel is just as good as the first one...if not better. Few sequels include The Grim Reaper singing!
Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves return as Bill and Ted. George Carlin returns as Rufus.
Be excellent to each other and party on!

Doing for orphaned children what Ghost did for grieving lovers, Bogus is a sweet-natured fantasy that's sure to have some viewers reaching for a Kleenex. With The Sixth Sense still three years in his future, Haley Joel Osment plays 7-year-old Albert, whose happy life is disrupted when his mother (Nancy Travis) is killed in a traffic accident. Her will stipulates that Albert be placed in the custody of his mom's little-known half-sister, Harriet (Whoopi Goldberg), a New Jersey restaurant-supply owner who's anything but motherly. That's when Albert invents Bogus (Gerard Depardieu), an imaginary friend who springs to life from a coloring book drawing--clearly the product of Albert's need for love and companionship. It's easy to see why director Norman Jewison was drawn to the challenge of this delicate, charmingly cast fantasy/drama whimsically written by Alvin Sargent (Oscar®-winner for Ordinary People), and there are some lovely moments that capture a fleeting sense of wonder. But like the similar fantasy Three Wishes, the magic is lightweight and it doesn't always work. Your best bet is to just surrender to the sentiment, and don't be surprised if you shed a tear or two. --Jeff Shannon

Bogus.......2007-05-13

Whoopie!! Need anyone say more? No matter what she does, it is done with taste and humor. Even when the language gets a little blue, I have to ignor it and enjoy her acting ability. I am in the process of finding all of her many movies on Amazon, and ordering them one or two at a time. Many thanks for having one of the lesser known ones-Bogus-I have been searching for it for years. It really touches your heart and fills you with laughter. Yours as usual, Patricia A. Adams

Really cut movie.......2007-03-13

Why do some of you think Whoopi's character didn't like the boy because he was white? I'm pretty sure his mom was white and she and Whoopi were friends!

This is such a cute movie. I just love the little boy and the way he acts.

Bogus is, simply.......2004-06-17

a nice, sentimental family film. Worth watching.

FIRST OFF, THE PERSON WHO.......2004-06-17

says Whoopi didn't want the kid because he was white is a moron. Race had nothing to do with it, you complete cretin. She didn't want him because she didn't know how to deal with kids.
That being corrected, this film has its heavy-handed, corny and hammy moments, but it's truly touching and charming overall. Worth watching and yes, you probably will shed a tear or two, despite telling yourself you won't.

Childhood memories..........2004-03-20

lol it's funny I was trying to figured out what the movie was called when the invisible friend slides under a women and says "eeuu cob webs"....lol wierd thata that movie comes out on DVD just as I try to remember it and finally found it. I loved the movie. not a big fan off Woopi but the boy and the friend are great

Better than the real thing.......2005-12-21

In my opinion this movie was hilarious,but the reason im giving this a 4/5 is because some spoofs were hilarious,some were ok and some lacked.But most of them were funny.And yes,I'll admit that all that swearing gets annoying after a while,but I'll allow it,since I liked the movie lots,but I didn't love it,though.If you are about to see this movie,to like it you have to have an urge to either like or dislike "The Blair Witch Project".I hated blair witch project,so I definetly thought this was funny.You remember that blair witch spoof in "Scary Movie"?Well that one sucks compared to this!

tee-hee.......2005-08-11

i love this movie, it is so funny. Like the part where bigfoot is sitting in a bus stop. But for all you people will want to rent it as usual.

It had it's day.......2003-01-27

I gave this 3 stars because..Okay it had Paulie Shore in it. I don't want him to get discouraged over another flop cause he's so lovable!
This movie had some funny parts, but honestly..Most of it was really [bad]. Not [bad] funny, but [bad]. Repeated jokes. You can only watch a spoof of Blair Witch Project with the same dialogue so many times. I'm sure this film had it's day, but it definatly wasn't any time in the last year. Sorry Paulie

repetitive.......2002-02-24

This dvd is sporadically funny, but many of the same obvious jokes get repeated over and over (something the compilers realized and mention in the cheezy rap song extra). The most interesting feature is the hidden O.J. documentary, and I'm not even a football fan.

UTTERLY DETESTABLE.......2002-02-03

This movie is, quite simply, terrible. I watched some of it late one night on cable, and I found none of it funny or entertaining. I assumed it was going to be lame, but I was hoping for the "it's so lame it's funny" effect that sometimes results from bad films. Sadly, the lameness of this movie is more likely to make one want to go to bed than to invoke laughter or interest.

Your kids will probably be bored.......2007-03-17

I realize that this batch of films is aimed at older teenagers and college kids, not adults over the age of 25. However, you can probably do much better picking out films your kids will watch than this collection. That's not to say that there aren't some great yet silly films in the batch, because there are. Next I describe each film in descending order of quality.

UHF (1989) - This is a great film starring Weird Al Yankovic as a directionless young man whose uncle gives him a rundown TV station to manage. His unconventional programming turns things around for himself and the station.

Cooley High (1975) - This is a great film for all ages, and was the basis for the sitcom "What's Happening", although it only faintly resembles it. It is set in south-side Chicago in the mid 60's, and concerns a group of high school friends that have numerous comic encounters, but there is also some tragedy involved in the plot.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) - The first one was very funny and fresh, and Keanu Reeves will always be Ted as far as I'm concerned, even if he winds up doing Shakespeare at some point. The plot concerns two slackers who are about to fail history that are given some help from a time traveller from the future. The only problem is that it is so steeped in 80's pop culture that your kids may not get half the jokes.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) - The second one is still funny, it just seems to try harder and not get quite the same comic effect as the first.

The rest of the movies are under the National Lampoon label.

Dorm Daze (2003) - One of National Lampoon's better college farce movies, with the plot set up by a series of silly misunderstandings. The closest thing you're going to get to "Animal House" 25 years after the fact.

Going the Distance (2004) - A Canadian version of Roadtrip. This movie was better than I expected, with a lot of good interaction between the main characters, but still not that great even for a teen farce.

Class Reunion (1982) - This movie had all the ingredients to be funny, but it just bored me, even in 1982. Top that off with all of the 80's and even 70's pop culture references, and I don't think it would do much for today's kids.

The last three movies are just awful - "Movie Madness", "Gold Diggers", and "Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj". I won't even bother to describe them. When I say they're bad, I'm saying they are boring and completely unfunny. If you force your kids to sit through these three films as part of their summer break, they'll be looking forward to going back to school.

The end result is you have three good to excellent films that are all older movies, four mediocre to OK films, and three horrible movies. I think you can do much better at entertaining your older teenagers/college kids than this collection.
