Summary: Beavis and Butt-Head do it again!
Review: While searching the comedy section at the video store I noticed Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, literally crammed between two videos so it was barely recognizable. While I had looked numerous times at the comedy section, it felt strange to me that I had never noticed the movie. I looked at the cover and saw that it was obviously animated. After seeing numerous terrible Disney movies with all their stupid and happy endings, I was almost ready to give up on Beavis and Butt-Head do America when I noticed it's PG-13 rating. And a nice animated family film probably wouldn't be rated so high since cartoons are often directed at children. I went home and popped the tape into my VCR. After a very short 80 minutes, I had realized that this was one of the greatest comedies I had ever seen. Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is not a family film. It is a plain teen comedy about two dorks whoes thoughts about the world often get them into trouble. Whether they're dealing with teachers, cops, or even FBI Agents, Beavis and Butt-Head manage to pull off one amazing popcorn flick. Their crudeness and stupidity is what pulls the entire movie together. While at some times utterly disgusting and at others quite touching and funny, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is a must-buy. Our story begins with the two high-schoolers waking up to find that their most precious thing has been stolen: Their TV. Their search for it leads them to Muddy Grimes (Bruce Willis), who mistakes them for the two men he asked to do a job for him. Misinterpreting his words, Beavis and Butt-Head (beautifully voiced by Mike Judge) head to Las Vegas, Nevada to complete the job. However, the journey soon continues as a mix-up leads them to Washington D.C., where the movie's climax occurs. Beavis and Butt-Head do America is a pure delight though not for the entire family. The first time you view it is obviously the best one so I recommend buying it to feel more pride and joy when you realize how much of a phenomenon Mike Judge has built with this comedy and his other film Office Space. Highly recommended, Beavis and Butt-Head do America is a pure romp, a delight, a treasure awaiting in any video store. All you have to do is dig it out.

Summary: Fans of the show rejoice
Review: While it wasn't the best story it had it moments. A must see for fans. Beavis & Butthead get themselves into trouble on a much larger scale than normal and meet surprise relatives in the middle of the desert. Decent animation.

Summary: Watch South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut instead
Review: If you are wondering why I am reccomending Sout Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut is because the movie is 10 times funnier than this. I didn't laugh once, and Beavis and Butthead are stupid. Plus I don't remember having watch Beavis and Butthead. But I have seen South Park. While South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut got a R rating from the MPAA, Beavis and Butthead Do America got a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. As the movie opens, Butthead (Mike Judge) has a dream that he and his freind Beavis (Mike Judge again) are really tall, and screaming the other residents. And Beavis wakes him up with the news that thier beloved telvison set has been stolen. And they try to steal a tv from the school but get kicked out by the principal (Mike Judge once again), and then watch tv in thier neighboor's trailer until Butthead spills Cola on the tv and it breaks. So thet find a motel room that a drunk (Bruce Willis) mistakes them for people that he is looking for to do his wife (Demi Moore), and promises to pay them [money amount]. He sends them to Las Vegas, where instead of doing thier job, his wife sneaks a unit X-5 in Beavis's pants and tells Beavis and Butthead to meet her in Washington D.C. and what they don't know is they have become supects on the FBI's wanted list. While on the bus, Beavis regonizes a woman (Cloris Leachman) that he met on the plane to Las Vegas. Other people lending thier voice in this movie includes Robert Stack that voices an agent, Pamela Blair that voices a flight attendant/White House tour guide and Dale Reeves voices President Clinton.

Summary: B & B fans will love this
Review: Not as good as the shows, but then again, WHAT IS? I've been predicting that in the fullness of time, B & B will be remembered as one of the cultural treasures of the '90's. (No, really!). This movie does indeed achieve all that should be achieved when going from a small format to a larger one, but it's just that this stuff doesn't lend itself as well to a large format. (For you classical music fans: It's exactly like with Chopin -- the Polonaises are better than the Sonatas. No, really!) It's fitting that the plot revolves around what would happen if B & B lost their TV. And -- be ready to shed a tear when we meet up with their dads.

Summary: beavis and butt-head do hilarity
Review: The wonder years of beavis and butt-head were golden times for any teenager who happened upon these two dull gems.
on a cross country misadventure to find their stolen televion set, Beavis and butt-head manage to befoul a tool shed, a camper and become the most dangerous men in america. not a small feet for anyone whose IQ is ranked on the negative scale...
but for how dumb beavis and butt-head may be, there's nothing dumb about them doing america. for anyone who has forgotten what it's like to laugh out loud at the stupidity of two idiots, 'beavis and butt-head do america' is the movie to see.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This was truly the pinnicle of the career of beavis and butthead. I suppose it was also the end of it. It is truly, truly sad that such great things should come to an end! The fact that creater of the short-lived series of Beavis and Butthead and this great movie should waste his time with King of the Hill is only outstaggered by the fact that King of the Hill has lasted longer than B&B did, and it's still going! He should have stuck with B&B, because it was really something fantastic. There are so many other examples like this. Billy West, giving up being the voice of Ren and Stimpy and then Project GeeKeR to do what? By Fry on Futurama? Wasted talent. And yet Futurama has also endured so much longer. Not-so-good shows (or movies) are so often so much more successful than much better shows because popular opinion should not be trusted as a measure of quality. And then so many people are swayed by public opinion and what they expect, they just stop watching even if it is good. So, no matter what you believe to be true about Beavis and Butthead from what other people have said, forget all that! Even if you have never heard of Beavis and Butthead outside of the context of some kids asphyxiating themselves to death on paint thinner, trying to imitate their cartoon heros, you should watch this movie. Even if you have something personal against them, you should watch this movie. They really give it all they've got in this movie, and even the sternest, most unforgiving of individuals should be able to appreciate it at its face value, as one of the greatest comedies of all time. Because 'all they've got' is really quite a huge thing. Huh huh, I said huge thing.

Summary: Consistently funny from start to finish
Review: I think Beavis and Butt-Head are hilarious, and this movie is incredibly funny. You either love this type of comedy or you hate it. If you really want to forget everything and just have totally unproductive fun for 90 minutes, this is just what the doctor ordered. It's crude, juvenile, and dumb, wallowing in its own stupidity, but Beavis and Butt-Head are all about mindless fun. When the boys' TV is stolen, Beavis begins going into withdrawal almost immediately, while Butt-Head realizes'slowly'that the situation stinks (or something like that). Their search for a replacement leads them into a cheap motel room, where they are promised 10 G's for doing a guy's wife. Needless to say, B&B misinterpret their instructions. Soon they are in Las Vegas, where the guy's wife manages to get them on her side, promises to meet them in Washington, D.C., and sews a top-secret, incredibly dangerous, stolen biological agent in Beavis' shorts. We follow the boys across the country, helped along by a cool old lady with a purse full of pills and their typical blind luck. With ATF agents chasing them all the way, the boys' road trip ends in the White House, where the very future of the country rests in the hands of none other than Beavis and Butt-Head. Everything you love from the original show is here'plus more. Mr. Anderson and his wife, taking their own cross-country vacation, run across the boys on several occasions much to their chagrin (three words: body cavity search). There are an abundant number of 'you said' jokes, senseless giggling, Fire! pronouncements, 'come to Butt-Head' lines, snide comments from Beavis, and not one but two great scenes featuring the hilarious Cornholio. Even Bill and Chelsea Clinton join the fun in the end. Robert Stack supplies the voice for the lead ATF agent'that's a little weird at first because it sounds as if he is narrating from outside the scene rather than speaking. I should add that I really love the opening credits, which melds Starsky and Hutch with Charlie's Angels to produce a uniquely fun way to start this most irreverent of movies. Certainly, this type of humor isn't for everyone, but you owe it to yourself to give B&B a try before condemning it. This movie celebrates its own stupidity; it doesn't take itself seriously, and neither should anyone who watches it. Few movies offer as many laughs as this senseless animated comedy, and that makes it a good thing. You may not learn anything from it, but you will be entertained.

Summary: it ROCKS, it ROCKS
Review: The funniest thing about this feature-length release from MTV's mid-1990s animated poster children is how well-done it was. The story is simple, and silly in spots, but well told. It's a typical Beavis & Butt-Head tale writ large, with developed characters and enough sight gags and plot twists to keep the whole family interested. "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America' could almost be called wholesome family entertainment in this post- "South Park" world. Indeed, the...fire references that were considered over the top in 1996 when this movie first came out seem almost quaint compared to movies like "South Park: Bigger, Louder & Uncut" which pushed the envelope much further. The only problem I see are the scarcity of bonus materials on the DVD edition. All you're getting is the movie and little extra. Buy it anyway, the movie's good enough by itself.
