  • Summary: Bill Preston and Ted Logan are two totally excellent dudes facing one most heinous history exam.

History's about to be rewritten by two guys who can't even spell. (MGM)… Expand

    Has an intangibly charming goofiness about it that is somehow endearing: here is a movie about teenagers that contains no excessive profanity, no drug references, and no explicit sexual activity.

    Meant to be funny, but it only swells the sinus passages. It is a painfully inept comedy.

    Absolutely a film that just makes you feel good. It really does have something for children and adults and it's been my favorite film since the 3rd grade. I still remember the day I finally got the 69 joke. What really makes this film work is the endearing innocence of the title characters. Even in comedies it's rare to find characters who blindly accept others as they are and want nothing more than everyone to just have a good time. Furthermore, in my opinion, it genuinely boasts many clever jokes throughout. It's certainly not the greatest movie ever made, but for just being a good time, it's a 10.… Expand
