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.

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

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.

Unless you're uptight, over 40, or Michael Medved, the movie is funny almost nonstop.

Mike Judge has managed the difficult task of acknowledging Beavis & Butt-head's humanity -- the implicit worth of the human soul, no matter how stunted or feral -- while condemning their every unthinking act

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

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

A solid, comic film, filled with humor and wittiness at a gutter level rarely achieved in film.
