Bill & Ted Face the Music

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) is Dean Parisot's sci-fi comedy, free to watch online on iFILM. Almost thirty years on, the two aging slackers still haven't written the song destined to save the universe.

Bill and Ted are middle-aged now. The band went nowhere, their marriages are wobbling, and reality itself is starting to collapse around them. A messenger from the future hands them a deadline: deliver the world-uniting hit within hours, or existence unravels. Their plan is gloriously lazy, hop forward in time and steal the finished song from their future selves. Meanwhile their daughters bounce across history assembling a backing band from Jimi Hendrix, Mozart, and Louis Armstrong. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter slip right back into character, and William Sadler returns as a sulking, bass-playing Death.

It closes a trilogy that began back in 1989, and it runs on a goofy warmth most modern comedies forgot, nobody here is the butt of a cruel joke. For an easy, good-natured night in, stream Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) online on iFILM.
