My parents never got the appeal of the films, but most folks my age and a few years older or younger seem to enjoy them. <br /><br />I really like "Idiocracy". It is a much smarter and cynical movie than a lot of folks think it is. "Kingsmen" sounded intriguing. I'm looking forward to checking that one out.<br /><br />I'm not usually a sit-com guy either, but for some reason I find myself enjoying "Big Bang Theory" quite a bit. Fluffy but still has some very good writing and of course the geeky references.Roman J.

Generally speaking I'm not a huge fan of modern comedy films. (Oddly every time you make a generalization, you rethink yourself.) The last one I watched was a small independent film called Submarine. It was really good. Some may not consider it a comedy because some of those indies branch out and aren't concerned with the formula of set-up and punchline. But there were scenes in it that made me laugh out loud a time or two. <br /><br />I also watched some comedy on TV, but there again too, I'm picky. I did like Seinfeld, whereas some don't, but I'm not a sitcom guy at all. And then there are a lot of British comedies that I can watch. Boy, this is a roundabout comment :)<br /><br />I guess what I'm leading up to is probably Bill & Ted's brand of humor isn't for me, but probably more for the generation that grew during those years, however, you did a good job of reviewing it. I think the last thing I watched along this line was Idiocracy, and it was fun. <br /><br />A few others I've seen recently and enjoyed are Silver Lining Playbook, St. Vincent, and Kingsmen--not that all these fit neatly inside the genre.
