Reeves gained the notice of the critics in 1986's River's Edge, but his first major film role was in 1986, in the hockey movie Youngblood, starring Rob Lowe. Reeves's first popularly successful film was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, in 1989. Indeed, much of Reeves subsequent portrayal in the press has been influenced by his comically airheaded character Ted in that film.
