TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
OneEightNine Media Some say this is better than the actual show, I couldn't tell you. But I can tell you it is funnier than you would expect from a movie about two high school slackers traveling cross country while unknowingly carrying chemical weapons and being chased by the FBI and thinking they are going to score with a femme fatale. Yeah, this movie does a masterful job of juggling a lot while keeping you entertained and laughing, but more importantly it acts as a touchstone for 90s-Gen-X culture and you can even argue it to be a last hurrah of sorts. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes required viewing for film majors in uni.
SnoopyStyle MTV slacker icons Beavis and Butt-Head find their TV stolen. This sets them off on an epic quest to get a TV. They stumble onto a murder for hire. They are told to do her but she turns out to be an arms smuggler with a deadly virus. She sends them on a bus trip to DC with the virus sewn into Butt-Head's shorts.Mike Judge has created two lovable idiot slackers. They stay lovable throughout and that's why this movie works so well. These are slobbering sex-obsessed idiot teens. Of course, some people can try to take it too seriously and complain about its low-brow vulgarity. They would right that this is vulgar but it doesn't make it lowest common denominator. This is well written by smart people and not just a series of bad jokes. This is a fun movie with some pretty big laughs.
LeonLouisRicci An "Elongated" Episode of the Terminally and Totally Dumb Teenagers makes it Clear that the Duo's Disgusting Double Entendres can Withstand the "Blow" Up and give Their Fans Ninety Minutes of Off the Couch Fun.The Music here is Part of the Story, not Music Videos that Either Suck or Don't Suck, so that Familiar Element from the TV Show is Abandon for Tourist Attractions and Road Trip Shenanigans.There is a Strong Plot about a Missing "Biological" Weapon as the Two are sent on a Wild "Goose" Chase and to "Score" with a Big Boobed Babe. Obviously, it is Not a Spoiler to say that will Never Happen, so B&B "Do" America while Attempting that most Elusive of Pubescent Pursuits.This is Visually quite Impressive with a Rob Zombie Montage Standing Out above it all as Beavis "Munches" on Peyote to keep from Dying of Thirst. The Opening is also Impressive with a Giant Monster and the Charlie's Angels/Starsky and Hutch Credits.Overall, if You Like the Boys You'll Like the Movie.
TheLittleSongbird I don't think Beavis and Butt Head Do America is quite as good as the wonderful TV show, but as far as a film based on a TV show goes, it is a worthy one and one of the better ones I've seen. It is a little too short and there are one or two scenes in the middle that could have done with a tighter pace.The animation is not quite as good as it is in the show, but it is still good and tries hard to stick to its style. The score is infectious and there is also a killer soundtrack. The characters are fun and likable and the story is funny, clever and well structured.The voices are also great, not just from the leads but also the celebrity voices. But the humour is what drives it, crude, vulgar and yes quite risqué it is quite hilarious and sharp.All in all, a worthy film even if the TV show is better. 8/10 Bethany Cox
