The movie’s abrupt ending is a dud, and as a bad Cold War Kids song plays over the credits, it’s easy to hope for a sequel where the daughters take the lead and get a chance to illustrate just how far music has evolved beyond the franchise’s roots.At TED, our goal is to spread ideas. Building to a wordless millennial whoop, it feels like an Arcade Fire knock-off with some ’80s hair metal harmonic guitar solos thrown in. In the end, the song that unites mankind is… just OK. It’s similarly puzzling that, despite Billie and Thea’s expertise about pioneering women musicians, the only two women in their supergroup aren’t actually women from music history: Chinese flute legend Ling Lun is referenced in history books with male pronouns, and the Stone Age percussionist Grom is fictional. Cudi gets plenty of screen time, but he’s deemed more useful to the movie as an expert in quantum physics than as a musical performer. It’s disappointing, then, that Face the Music’s soundtrack feels safe and homogeneous, with a lineup composed almost entirely of white male rock bands like Mastodon, FIDLAR, Lamb of God, and Weezer (admittedly with one of their best songs in years). It’s extremely fun to watch these men lock eyes with themselves, attempt to process their crippling fear of failure and divorce, and then have Dave Grohl call the cops on them for unwittingly trespassing near his mansion. Winter and Reeves spend half the movie dripping with prosthetics and bad wigs, literally confronting their future selves and the specter of middle-aged mediocrity. They overthink their mission way too much, veering into maximalist prog dad territory before just traveling to the future and stealing the world-saving song from themselves. They’ve lost almost all of their fans, but in line with the prophecy from the first movie, they’re still attempting to write a song that will unite and save the world.
The movie fast-forwards to a present where Bill and Ted are playing weddings and $2 taco nights-a significant fall from the end of Bogus Journey, when their music goes internationally viral and helps bring peace in the Middle East. Face the Music, the belated third installment of the franchise, finds legitimate laughs in the band’s growing pains.
