Movie Info

This is a full-length cartoon movie featuring the dim-witted obnoxious loser teens, Beavis and Butt-head. They are obsessed with sex, TV, heavy-metal rock 'n roll, sex, coolness and sex, in that order. The trouble begins when the couch-potato duo's beloved television disappears (they assume it was stolen). In the course of trying to get another TV, they get involved in a major arms-smuggling scheme and are chased all over the U.S. by mobsters and lawmen alike. In one of the movie's highlights,

Faithful fans of the MTV series will no doubt be amused. But the few newcomers who pay the price of admission likely will wonder what all the fuss has been about.

They distill the agony of adolescence, the queasy feeling of being trapped in a body going through monstrous changes, at the same time that they purge it of its terror.

It's as good as any animated feature about two teenage morons could ever hope to be.

Takes the spirit of their late night TV show and flies with it.

Even if the movie does engender a few more chuckles than expected, where's that redneck in a truck when we need one?

MTV spinoff for "mature" lovers of really stupid humor only.

A satisfying mix of puerile humour and genuine satire, believe it or not.

Chock-full of lavatorial, morally deviant and moronic humour -- the best kind, of course.

Whatever your I.Q., it's really one of the more enjoyable animated films since Snow White.

Unless you're uptight, over 40, or Michael Medved, the movie is funny almost nonstop.

Mike Judge has managed the difficult task of acknowledging Beavis & Butt-head's humanity -- the implicit worth of the human soul, no matter how stunted or feral -- while condemning their every unthinking act

Nothing much about Mike Judge's creation has changed.

Even the harshest critic has to recognize the sheer unbridled joy of their ignorance.

Paramount was wise to release this one in December--just in time for critics to fit the film onto their year-end worst lists.

A solid, comic film, filled with humor and wittiness at a gutter level rarely achieved in film.

Audience Reviews for Beavis and Butt-Head Do America

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is a film adaption of one of my favorite TV comedies of all time, and I can honestly say this is one of the funniest movies of all time just in my opinion. The story is just our teen horny teens going on a cross country trip trying to score, when really they are being tracked by the FBI
