	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Another adventure in nostalgia that nobody really needed and yet, if not excellent, manages to be good-hearted and reasonably fun."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Like its predecessors is winningly modest and harmlessly silly. I don’t know if it made me feel young or old, but it was all in all a most non-bogus experience."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An uneven but likable return (...) Despite a dicey opening, the pic should please those looking forward to it, and, with the addition of a new generation (the duo's daughters), attract a new fan or two as well."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] is weightless and super-goofy — a blissed-out air balloon of nostalgia. It zips right along, it makes you smile and chortle"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Kooky, surreal, and completely adherent to its own playbook. And that’s why, more or less, it works."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A labor of fan-service love that slaps a goofy smile on your face. It’s a most excellent cure for the heinous pandemic blues (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Al Horner Empire	"Reeves and Winter look like they’re having a blast getting the band back together in a fun but forgettable time-travelling comedy. Neither bodacious nor bogus (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A remarkably likable comedy about two good guys still trying to find their place in the world that’s anchored by genuinely sweet beliefs about the importance of friendship, honesty, and, most of all, music."	POS
United States	Karen Han Polygon	"It’s a slight movie, but a sweet way of revisiting the franchise, and easy enough to follow for audience members unfamiliar with the first two films."	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"[It] feels like a retread, but instead feels like a fresh story worth telling, and a story that could only be told with an older Bill and Ted."	POS
United States	Jim Vejvoda IGN	"A pleasant escape for the quarantine-stricken, a sweet and entertaining romp that defies expectations by largely recapturing what worked about the series so many years later."	POS
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"While it doesn’t quite gel cohesively, in this casual kickback with a pair of old pals, it’s the dudes who remain excellent."	POS
United States	Anna Menta Decider	"[It] will never be as excellent as the original, but there’s no need to write it off as bogus. It’s still boisterous, earnest fun."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"All the cast are likable, and it’s a sweet-natured journey backwards and forwards down memory lane (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"[It] is a most excellent end to the franchise. It's the perfect movie for these uncertain times (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Reeves now has about one-millionth of the enthusiasm that made him so much fun in this role before (...) He’s a nice guy and a decent actor, but he’s made a lame movie. It’ll let down even hardcore fans (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
Ireland	Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie	"It's just a heartfelt and sweet comedy that embraces the passing of time and legacy. In this day and age, that's a rare treat (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Alan Corr RTÉ	"A funny and charming sequel which has plenty of laughs and even a certain wisdom (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
