show is much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think this movie should be banned. It is the worst movie of all time. I am the biggest Beavis a Butthead fan alive, but no a fan of this crappy movie. Plot sucks, dvd sucks, crappy, no special features & it's not worth buying. I just bought the season dvds on eBAY. I have to sink that low for those idiots. I hate this movie!

a great movie!

hilarious, fun to watch, smart, cool and pleasing to B&B fans. others may ebjoy this too even if they dont like the show. a great movie. easily the best movie of 1996 (an otherwise bad year for movies).

Great Movie, Great DVD

I loved this to death. The movie is great material, and one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The DVD Transfer is excellent as far as Animation goes. One of the greatest scenes in this movie is the highway crash, which is entirely random and quite hilarious. Be sure to check out the soundtrack. Robert Stack is great in this, too.

Heh Heh Heh, I Loved it!

B&B is one of those things you either love or hate. If you love it, the you'll love this movie. The boys go on a roadtrip in which they're more enthralled by automatic urinals than Old Faithful geyser. The plot is...well, who really cares about the plot anyway? What you get is a lot of good B&B humor in an extended ninety minute package. I guess the best thing you can say about it is that IT DOESN'T SUCK.

pretty funny

Fans of the television show will probably die laughing, but some others may enjoy it also. The film focuses on Beavis and Butt-Head as they go on a cross country road trip to recover their stolen television, but unknowingly fall deep into a plot involving the theft of a man-made biological weapon. The cast of voices are a real treat, especially Robert Stack as an ATF agent. Tune in if you're in the mood for a few laughs. 3/4

COO!

Hmmmm...this movie was....FUNNY! It really is, even though its just a cartoon it still rox!

Ok, but not great

I didn't much care for the plot and the detective character, but otherwise was an ok movie. get it to see more beavis and butthead antics....

They Rule!

Beavis and Butthead were a genius creation, they are a perfect representation of the American dream gone wrong (sorry guys) I know people find them irritating with their constant dumb laughs but that is part of the fun, don't take them so seriously. It's like they're just cartoon characters, you don't have to share a flat with them.The movie was always a risk, taking short cartoons onto the big screen, but it works, with long suffering characters like Tom Anderson, Mr Van Drieson and Principal McVicker along for the ride.Nice touches include a clever soundtrack (lesbian seagull!) and the simple plot of two idiots trying to find their TV and score who are oblivious to the amazing journey they've found themselves on.Long live Beavis and Butthead!

uh huh uh huh huhuhuh uh huh

as if the series wasnt funny enough, the creators of the dufus duo known as beavis and butthead go hollywood in a movie that is just as funny. i have seen 3 times already (that is on vh1). have fun going across the country with the pair as they encounter twist and turns on route to washington dc with a little destruction and mayhem thrown in on the way for good measure. a must have if you are a fan of beavis and butthead, (our two favorite dumbasses)

FIRE!

I give this movie 5 stars, only conditionally. This movie has a pretty specific target audience, and outside of this audience most people will (perhaps rightly) find it to be immature garbage. I however, love this "garbage". I found myself laughing at all the hysterical cornholio moments, and the meeting of the generations scene was classic. This is how ports of TV to film should be done, with the things that make a show funny being brought over but not just being re-hashed (and NO musical numbers, South Park!!!).

"A thousand Hail Marys?"

I thought this movie was well, a television show made into a movie. It was funny, but not as much as the show. Although, being from Austin (where Mike Judge lives) it was cool to see Robert Mueller Airport (sadly no longer around) in the movie.

Beavis and Butthead rule!

No cartoon ever has been as funny or cool as Beavis and Butthead and the movie is just as good. They manage to destroy things, almost get killed and endanger the security of an entire country without even knowing it. It's funny as anything you'll ever see so rent it.

IF YOU CRACK UP WHENEVER YOU WATCH THE SHOW SEE THIS MOVIE

LIKE ME,I THINK BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD IS HILARIOUS.SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY'RE STUPID BECAUSE ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS SCORING.THAT IS KINDA TRUE BUT THEY TALK ABOUT SOMETHINGS ELSE TOO.I LOVE THIS MOVIE.IT IS REALLY FUNNY

Beavis & Butt-Head Rock!!!!

One of the funniest 'underground' TV shows becomes one of the five funniest theatrical comedy films of the 1990's! BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA (1996) stars our favorite pair of perpetually horny and clueless Texas teens as they go searching all over the country for their stolen TV set---while trying to "score," of course. That's all the plot there is! That's all the plot there needs to be; indeed, the whole point of this film is to sit back and follow the precocious, infectiously chuckling duo as they get from Point A to Point Z---with lots of stops along the way---and do what they do best.

Besides doing the voices of the titular characters---"hehe hehe"---Mike Judge also voices that old favorite, Tom Anderson, who would later metamorphose into Hank Hill. (As a testament to Judge's perpetual maintenance of television popularity, "King of the Hill" is currently in its seventh season and has by far outlasted the show that spawned it.) In his work, Mike Judge really shows that he is not merely a voice-over comedian; rather, he is a social commentator of all the different types of people you'd likely find in Middle America...and he is very funny.

Plot being irrelevant in this film, expect to see the kind of gags used on the show reappearing here (including, of course, The Amazing Cornholio!) and jammed into 80 minutes of quality crude comedy. Because this is a PG-13 movie, the crudeness is definitely turned up a notch from the TV show; however, nothing too outrageous happens (at least not onscreen). Robert Stack has a lot of fun spoofing his serious Elliot Ness image in the character of ATF Agent Flemming, who displays a much-too-eager predilection for cavity searches. (That's DEEP cavity searches!) In fact, this is his most inspired comedic performance since AIRPLANE! (1980). Cloris Leachman also has a lot of fun as a nice little old lady who keeps meeting Beavis & Butt-head at various times throughout their adventure and, miraculously enough, can see no wrong in them whatsoever. Other standout voice-overs are handled by Eric Bogosian (remember him from Oliver Stone's TALK RADIO?), Jacqueline Barba, Pamela Blair and even David Letterman!

Bottom line: If you loved the TV show, you'll love the movie; although if you loved the TV show, that most likely means that you already own this on DVD and have seen it at least 10 times. If you were too young to remember the show, but like stoner comedy in general, then you can safely bet you'll like this one. At the time it was released, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA was the funniest feature-length animated film of all time. Even though it easily lost that title to the Trey Parker/Matt Stone sidesplitter SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER AND UNCUT just a few years later, this movie still, like, totally rules in its own right. And it's got one killer soundtrack. Yeah, dude!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
MOST RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF THE TV SHOW

Beavis and Butt-Head do it again!

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.

Classic - be aware, SE coming later in '06

There is finally a Special Edition of this movie due later this year. I own this original release, but don't mind the upcoming double-dip because this movie is CLASSIC. One of the funniest comedies, animated or otherwise, ever. Mike Judge is a comedic genius.

Apparently there has been a surge of renewed interest with the B&B episodes being released on the Mike Judge Collection 1, 2, and 3. And word has it that Mr. Judge received the message loud and clear: we fans will not accept edited episodes! So the second and third volumes will not include the dreaded "director's cuts".

But this movie - a huge hit when it was released theatrically - is getting a much deserved upgrade as a byproduct of all the new interest in the series.

I hate that I love these guys

How am I supposed to maintain any kind of dignity when I'm shooting merlot through my nose (trust me, it hurts). I hate that I love to watch this stuff. In an age where adults were the ones being made fun of, here come these two total dufuses suffering their way through high school lacking even a semblance of intellect or any sense of social qeus.


When the wife and kids are in bed, this is a guilty pleasure that I'm ashamed of. If laughter is the best medicine, these guys are a healthy dose of penicillin. Gawd bless Beavis and Butthead.

oh my god...

This flick is funny as f@£k. i've seen it several times, and it still makes snot poor down my face.

One of the funniest animated films ever

Beavis and Butt-Head, two of the most popular properties on the MTV cable network get their own film with this 1996 Paramount release. The two TV obsessed teenaged slackers go on a cross country road trip on a mission to find their stolen TV set and in the process wind up being on the run from FBI and government officals who mistake them for criminal masterminds. The two of them never actually realize that they're being pursued and just basically hilariously comment on everyone and everything in their path. It's mostly just a longer version of one of their TV show episodes and a very funny one at that. A hilarious animated film.

"You may wonder: how can wood get so hard?"

"Beavis and Butthead Do America" is filled with vulgar humour, sadistic or otherwise bizarre characters and a convoluted plot insane enough to make no sense. These are some of the movie's finer qualities. If you didn't like the main duo to begin with then this will do nothing to convince you otherwise. But why should it?Mike Judge has managed to fill out the 75 or so minutes well without making it drag, and he's done it with style. Since he cannot change the simplistic, constantly sniggering leads he has done the most logical thing he could by surrounding them with a plethora of multi-faceted characters tied together with a conspiracy plot that takes them into other locations where their simple-but-effective double-entendre humour can flourish. Previous characters make a return and are given some development where relevant to the plot.It all starts inauspiciously enough - the hard rock obsessed teenagers awake one day, still on their couch, to find their beloved television is missing. Not smart enough to put the pieces of the puzzle together to catch the thieves in the act, they try and steal one from their school. Wandering around town ever more desperate, they somehow manage to usurp the television thieves, but not in the way you might expect. This lands them right in the thick of it, and the unassuming pair make their way through. Hilarity ensues on a regular basis.In my opinion as a would-be critic, we need more films like these. Certainly there are plenty of gross-out movies, some of them also animated (as a side note the animation here is a nice balance between the original show and something more polished) but there are few that can take simple toilet humour and dress it up so well, making it more than just a guilty pleasure to enjoy after a few beers and/or a joint. This is right up there with the finer moments of South Park for such an achievement, and can easily be considered Beavis and Butt-Head's crowning moment of funny and/or awesome.Overall this is a fun, feelgood comedy which doesn't require all your brainpower to enjoy to the fullest, though an extra watch or two might throw up a few sight gags or subplot references that you missed the first time around for whatever reason(!) The plot seems somehow relevant too, considering that it also deals with an issue that has been a headline grabber in post-9/11 society. But not without a couple of sniggers along the way, of course.7 stars out of 10: very, very good.
