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.

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

A wonderful bit of anarchy, anti-social fun; at times tasteless, but always funny.

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

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.

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

The tool-shed bit still makes me titter at provincial masturbation inquiries.

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.

What's so funny is that we're all a little Butthead inside.
