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

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
Chock-full of lavatorial, morally deviant and moronic humour -- the best kind, of course.
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.
Unfortunately, there are no video critiques here, just yawn-inspiring stretches in which very little happens.
Paramount was wise to release this one in December--just in time for critics to fit the film onto their year-end worst lists.
It's as good as any animated feature about two teenage morons could ever hope to be.
Even if the movie does engender a few more chuckles than expected, where's that redneck in a truck when we need one?
It's hard to laugh at comic protagonists who are evil, stupid and ignorant.
