Consensus: Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is unabashedly offensive, unapologetically stupid, and unexpectedly funny.
Runtime: 90 mins
Genre: Comedies

The boys run into real trouble when--and this really sucks!--their all-important television set is stolen and they get mistaken for a pair of hit-men hired to "do" a man's sexy wife. Their misunderstood task takes them from Vegas to D.C., with plenty of hilarity but nary a music video in sight. Beavis' wired alter-ego Cornholio's rampage through the White House is a particularly twisted highlight. [More]

Reviews for Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
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.
Successfully brings to the big screen those no-brainer nerds who have brought laughter to living rooms around the world for nearly four years.
Judge's mirth translates surprisingly well to an 80-minute length, and he exploits the movies' greater scope without sacrificing the show's cheesy charm.
Mostly, we get dumb formula, not quite ironic and self-mocking enough to be hip.
An old saying states that too much of anything isn't good, and this is a prime example.
Even if the movie does engender a few more chuckles than expected, where's that redneck in a truck when we need one?
Those who deplore Beavis and Butt-Head are confusing the messengers with the message.
