I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Fresh and Exciting
Absolutely the worst movie.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I've never seen this show before and I know it's suppose to be stupid. But that was the most stupidest thing I've ever seen.
Somehow, the MTV folks and Paramount Pictures were impressed enough by the "Beavis and Butt-Head" TV show to green light a movie version...a crazy gamble that paid off big-time as the movie turned out to be a hit and made them many times their investment. Why did the film work? Well, part of it is because the movie got rid of the most annoying thing about the TV show...the music videos. So, in the film you got nothing but Beavis and Butt-Head...and all their insanely stupid antics. Another reason, and this is a real shocker, Siskel & Ebert liked this one...a lot and folks took their thumbs up to heart!When the picture begins, thieves make off with the boys' television set...and they are naturally unable to function without it as watching TV is almost all they do. But through their efforts to find a television set, they wander into a murder for hire plot, destroy Hoover Dam and plunge Vegas into chaos, smuggle a killer virus from the US government, get on the FBI's most-wanted list and generally make a mess of everything while they laugh like idiots (because they are) at all sorts of childish double entendres. On their tails throughout is a crazed Federal Agent with a strong penchant for cavity searches.Sophisticated entertainment, this certainly is not. The film is very crude, often stupid and the animation is of only passable quality. But, it also is funny IF you are the sort of person who laughs at these guys and their idiotic antics. Others should steer clear and avoid the film at all costs!! As for me, I did (despite myself) enjoy it...and liked watching my wife roll her eyes and complain throughout about the dubious quality of the movie.
It's an all-out laugh-fest as Beavis and Butt-Head embark on a quest to get their TV back and, who knows, maybe even score! Uhuh huh huh. From start to finish, this movie is hilarious with all the classic antics the two idiots pull off while new elements are brought into the film. It still has some of the original characters like Mr. Vandreson and the mumbling principal while bringing in all new characters to get some chuckles out of.With wonderful jokes and stars like Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Robert Stack, Beavis and Butt-head Do America will make you laugh so hard you'll need two extra pairs of underwear! Go see this movie and hail the great Cornholio. Hehhehhehheh.
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
