Preoccupied with plans for 'a most triumphant video' to launch their two-man rock band, The Wyld Stallyns, they're suddenly, as Bill put it, 'in danger of flunking most heinously' out of history.
George Carlin appears as a cosmic benefactor who offers them a chance to travel back through history and gather up the speakers they need for an awesome presentation.
Through brief, perilous stops here and there, they end up jamming Napoleon, Billy The Kid, Sigmund Freud, Socrates, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Abraham Lincoln and Mozart into their time-traveling phone booth.
Each encounter is so brief and utterly cliched that history has little chance to contribute anything to this pic's two dimensions.
Reeves, with his beguilingly blank face and loose-limbed, happy-go-lucky physical vocabulary, and Winter, with his golden curls, gleefully good vibes and 'bodacious' vocabulary, propel this adventure as long as they can.
