Between it's infectiously likable leads (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) and absolutely ridiculous travelling-through-history plot, Excellent Adventure is one of those films that can easily be enjoyed by an audience of all age groups. It's certainly of it's time when it comes to its soundtrack and avalanche of pop culture references, but over 30 years later this proves to be one of its many charms. (Apart from the unfortunate use of a homophobic slur that wouldn't fly by today's standards)
All in all, Excellent Adventure is a wonderful whole heap of fun that's become one of my ultimate comfort films. Most bodacious indeed.

More of the same as the first three, really: either deceptively clever or deceptively stupid, depending on where you're standing, with very funny performances from Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, who spend most of the film acting opposite themselves in increasingly outlandish prosthetic make-up. Rather generously, much of the film is given to their daughters, in a plotline leading up to a rather predictable climactic twist (clearly, white dudes are not capable of doing anything worthwhile any more). The message of the world coming together through song rings a bit false right now, but that's hardly the movie's fault). Amusing and difficult to dislike.
