Average Rating:6.3/10

Consensus: Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is unabashedly offensive, unapologetically stupid, and unexpectedly funny.

Runtime: 90 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Beavis and Butt-head, MTV's metal-head morons, finally conquer the big screen in this on-the-road, on-the-run comic adventure.

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]

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

It's like the TV series with all the sucky bits removed.

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

Those who deplore Beavis and Butt-Head are confusing the messengers with the message.

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

Same as the TV show, only longer, and with crappier music.

I just don't find the guys funny, and this feature-length visit is a whole lotta headache stretched over too little material.

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