There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who find Beavis & Butt-Head hilarious and those who find them unbearable. I'm in the former category and was pleasantly surprised by how funny I still found this film. I remember when it originally came out that Beavis & Butt-Head were pretty played out by this point and a feature length theatrical film filled with big names voicing characters (Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Robert Stack, Cloris Leachman, Eric Bogosian, Richard Linklater, Greg Kinnear, David Spade, and David Letterman as a Roadie) seemed like overkill. I remember grudgingly liking the film, but rewatching after having not seen Beavis & Butt-Head in quite some time, the film felt pretty fresh and surprisingly prescient given the amount of pop culture youth take in today, along with the dumbing down society (also see Mike Judge's underrated satire "Idiocracy" for further explorations of these same themes). However, it may be that I'm now older and and am just cranky old man bemoaning "kids these days." Back in 1996, MTV was the main source of youth pop culture and Beavis & Butt-Head were a hilarious sent up of MTV's lowest common denominator fans. Today, youth consume pop culture instead through any number of social media apps and streaming apps/devices, rather than one channel and Tiger Beat magazine. The medium may have changed, but a satire of youth culture being dumbed down (to a ridiculously low level of by our two heroes) is still just as relevant today. I think it's this element of satire that many critics missed back when Beavis & Butt-Head originally aired. Beavis & Butt-Head were never presented as characters to to aspire to or intended to be seen as "cool." They were made by their creators to be held up for ridicule and to be mocked. Admittedly, many youth at the time missed the intended irony and instead enjoyed the TV series for all the wrong reasons, but that's not a reason to dismiss the characters outright. Now to this film in particular, the pair have their precious television stolen and they then set out to find a replacement, which has them mistaken for hitmen and puts them in the middle of government espionage and intrigue, of which they are completely oblivious. I found just about everything in the film hilarious and worthy of being considered satire. Everything in the film works as both as straight humor and also as social commentary. From the oblivious Tom Anderson (a likely cousin of King of the Hill's Hank Hill) to Mr. Van Driessen lovingly sung rendition of Lesbian Seagull over a montage of Beavis & Butt-Head obscenities committed across the country on their ill conceived cross country road trip to "score," to the pair meeting the Bubba US President of the 90s, Bill Clinton, is all quite funny and quite clever. Overall, if you can get past (or get into) the crass surface level humor, "Beavis & Butt-Head Do America" is heeeeee-larious.
I rented this because i wanted to see some of the Beavis and Butt-head cartoons but the TV series DVDs are censored and i have never seen a single episode of the TV series so i settled for this instead. Beavis and Butt-head wake up from a dream only to find that their TV is stolen. This leads them on a trip across the United States of America to find it.I find the humor funny but in a dumb and stupid way. Both Beavis and Butt-Head's brains are the size of a peanut (no, wait even smaller...how about a speck of sand? Yeah, that's it their brains are the size of a speck of sand lol). Anyway they get on a bus and meet an elderly lady there and keep thinking they are gonna 'score' with a gunman's wife (The gunman is voiced by Bruce Willis and his wife is voiced by Demi Moore.) Anyways this takes them across the desert where they meet their fathers (and they're more crude then Beavis and Butt-Head are), go to a church, and among other things and all of this there is a conspiracy about some remote which i didn't understand but oh well. Beavis and Butt-Head become heroes lol. If you like the series. you will like this.I give Beavis and Butt-Head Do America a 6/10
This film.. This... Beautiful film, honestly saved me, from myself. I was in a deep, dark depressing time, my wife left, Metallica released Load, and I was on the verge of committing suicide. Then, I saw on a movie, and I knew my dark days would end. I bought fifteen tickets and I put on my best Metal Health shirt, and walked to the theater. I was immediately greeted with the into parodying a 1970s blaxploitation and the greatest intro song since Beetlejuice. Then, I saw it's quick wit humor. I cried tears of joy, I never cry. Remember the magic carpet ride in the film Alladin? Well, imagine feeling that sense of euphoria and godliness throughout a movie Whos runtime is is 1:20. When I left the film, I went and got a haircut, got clean clothes, fed my pet gerbil and got a job. It turned my life around. It taught me to love myself, as well as nature. It taught me to teach young children to swim. If you want to experience true wonder, and feel as though you're a child again, WATCH THIS GODLIKE FILM.
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.
