The movie tries to be too funny and fails.
20 February 2002
I just saw this movie at a surprise preview, too. Everyone got a free beer, and this was really necessary to make me stay for the whole movie. The movie had a good start though, but after a while it surely got out of hands. The movie tried to be "more than funny" and thus failed miserably.

The best thing about it was the "stolen" guitar-jingle from the Bill & Ted movies (which I still like very much). But other than that, this "buddy-movie" didn't even come close to the Bill & Ted humor. I wonder how such respected actors like Christoph M. Orth (who plays the "Bond-like" villain in this movie) got involved with this.

I noticed that in several scenes, one take had trees with much snow on them, the next take had totally green trees, then they were snowy again. It seems that the producers didn't really pay much attention to such details.

The end credits featured numerous outtakes, and it looked like all the actor really had a lot of fun during production. Most certainly they had more fun making the movie than the audience will have watching it.
