Nice effects though.
Let's be realistic.
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I remember reading Roger Ebert's review of this review and how profound it was. He remarked that it's mistakenly thought that "Beavis And Butt-Head" is a show that takes pride in the stupidity of its main characters and this wasn't the message. He said, "I believe Mike Judge would rather die than share a taxi ride to the airport with his characters...". These are guys you're supposed to laugh at, not with. They are manifestations of creator Mike Judge's anger at ignorant people. They're not relatable at all, although I guess they're not technically bad people.I've seen some episodes of the newer show and this was quite faithful to it. The animation does seem to be the same as the TV show. What matters is that this movie has a lot of great lines and jokes and that's what it's made for. I was kind of getting a Blues Brothers vibe from this as it features two guys causing all this trouble around the country, including a car pile-up. I didn't root for them like I did the Blues Brothers, oh no. That would again, be missing the point. ***
Beavis & Butt-Head Do America is a good movie with a pretty well written storyline and a terrific voice cast. It's nothing outstanding, but it's simply a fun and enjoyable ninety minutes of animated adult comedy. I'm not a huge fan of the Beavis & Butt-Head television series, I like it but don't love it and that's the same way I felt about this, I don't have any care or sympathy for these characters, but seeing them behave like huge idiots in this movie, which is basically just a long episode of the series, was certainly a good time. Die hard fans of the television series will certainly love it, as for people who have never seen a single episode, it is still worth the watch if you ever see it on television and have some time to kill. After their TV is stolen, Beavis & Butt-Head travel across America in search of it.
Animated MTV characters Beavis and Butt-Head made their feature film debut with this very funny movie that actually does a good job of sustaining itself for 81 minutes, with a pretty good story and plenty of the kind of humour that us B & B fans love so much. It's gleefully lowbrow stuff, and that's just the way we like it.Our favourite antisocial horn dog teenagers wake to discover that the most important item in their lives, their TV set, has been stolen, and their search leads them to a shady character named Muddy (voiced by Bruce Willis). Muddy offers them $10,000 to do his wife Dallas (voice of Demi Moore), and B & B readily accept after misinterpreting the word "do". They become embroiled in an elaborate plot to steal a powerful biological weapon, all while following the quintessential B & B agenda: trying to score!B & B's assorted adventures include making life miserable for cranky old neighbor Tom Anderson, causing havoc at places such as the Hoover Dam, the appearance of the legendary Cornholio (who, of course, just needs TP for his bunghole), encountering two very familiar looking former Motley Crue roadies, hallucinating in the desert, and having some eventful plane and bus rides. (It's just so priceless that B & B, upon seeing that they'll be on a bus full of nuns, can't see past the fact that their fellow passengers are chicks.) The colourful cast of characters also includes Agent Flemming (in an inspired bit of casting, Robert Stack voices this part), an ATF agent obsessed with cavity searches. Cloris Leachman plays the aged "slut" on the plane & bus, and Eric Bogosian, Richard Linklater, and David Letterman (billing himself as Earl Hofert) round out the various pop culture figures supplying voices.And everything is set to a kick ass soundtrack that begins with a "Shaft" style number co-written by Isaac Hayes and B & B creator Mike Judge. Other artists heard include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Zombie (Rob Zombie also supplies the artwork for the hallucination sequence), AC/DC, Rancid, LL Cool J, Ozzy Osbourne, and Butthole Surfers.If you're a fan of the TV series, you're sure to enjoy "Beavis & Butt-Head Do America". It's extremely agreeable from start to finish, and doesn't overstay its welcome. It delivers more laughs than a lot of live-action comedies.Eight out of 10.
I became a Beavis and Butt-head fanatic since it came on MTV, when this movie came out to theaters in 1996, I was thrilled and this movie made me laugh throughout the entire film!!! I was laughing like crazy.The films stars as a voice cast: Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-head, Tom Anderson, Mr. Van Driessen, Principal McVicker), Bruce Willis (Muddy Grimes), Demi Moore (Dallas Grimes), Robert Stack (ATF Agent Flemming), etc.While awaking from a crazy dream, Beavis and Butt-head soon realize that their TV was stolen from a bunch of thieves, and they were mad, so its them on a journey across America to find their TV, not only that, someone is hold captive of a deadly device that belongs to the FBI, it can be found in Beavis's shorts. While searching for the TV, they stop a motel where Muddy Grimes (voice of Bruce Willis) wants them to get Dallas (voice of Demi Moore) back in relationship, elsewhere, they stop at Tom Anderson's trailer and they screwed up his TV, once they stop at Las Vegas, they found Dallas caught in a terrorist control. Chaos ensues when they mess around with the control panel of the Hoover Dam. While many places to go, they got lost in a desert with two Motley Crue roadies, after that, they nearly die from dehydration until Muddy came up to pick them up to get them to Washington DC. Once they get there, the agents are on the run of the unit. After that's taking care of, Tom Anderson, Muddy and Dallas Grimes were arrested and Beavis and Butt-head saved everybody from total chaos, finally, they found their TV lying on the motel sidewalk.This is classic Mike Judge at it's best, next to King of the Hill, and the movie Office Space.One of the funniest scenes in the movie is the Cornholio scene. I can laugh at that all night long. For a movie based cartoon film, it's 1,000,000 times better than that Spongebob Squarepants garbage.This movie is awesome, you'll laugh like there's no tomorrow.Beavis and Butt-head Do America gets 10 stars.
