Mike Judge, the creator and voice of MTV's insouciant Beavis and Butt-head characters, made his feature film directorial debut with this full-length B&B misadventure, which finds the boys going on a cross-country adventure after their all-important television set is stolen. Fans of the now-defunct TV show will obviously enjoy this film the most, though almost anyone with a passing awareness of the characters will find something to chuckle about. (The funniest recurring gag finds beleaguered B&B neighbor Tom Anderson constantly sabotaged by the guys while on vacation.) Celebrity voices are fun to pick out, particularly that of David Letterman, who rather appropriately plays Butt-head's long-lost father. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars "Uh, could you like not stand there and stuff?" (4.5 stars), December 6, 2002

By	Michael Crane (Orland Park, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

How I do miss the boys. At a time when MTV was actually cool and was playing music videos, (what are those again?), Beavis and Butt-head pretty much ruled the channel, providing us with hours after hours of pure entertainment. Was it stupid entertainment? Of course it was, that's why it was so amusing. I actually think of the shows as a clever satire of how high school students are portrayed. Now with their very own film, "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America," the boys are causing more chaos and mischief than ever before.

After their beloved television set is stolen, Beavis and Butt-Head decide to watch another one, no matter where they find it. Their stupidity leads them a drunken fool who mistakes the boys for paid killers he had hired to kill his wife. And things quickly go out of control from one mix up to another. The boys end up being a "national security threat" with every FBI agent after them. And all they wanted was their TV back! The results are hilarious and unpredictable.

This is a great movie for anyone who loves Beavis and Butt-Head. Is it as good as the shows? Not in my opinion, but it's pretty darn close. The sick and stupid humor is all there and the storyline is very creative and well-done. There are tons of celebrity voices that you just might recognize.

The DVD itself is average. Nothing real new and exciting here. There's two trailers, and that's about it. The sound and picture quality is really good. I just wished the DVD itself had more to offer. This is a movie I wouldn't mind re-buying if they ever decide to make a special edition.

All in all, "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America" is outrageously funny and is a lot more clever than people give it credit for. If you want laughs and a good time, pick up this film as soon as possible. Just thank God that you're not as dumb as these two morons. Thanks to these two dudes, you'll never want to drop out of high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this a God dam? Hehhehheh, April 22, 2002

By	"antdawg" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I love this movie! My favorite thing about B&B is that no matter how dumb they get,the writing is always very intelligent...a point that is overlooked far too often.Of course fun is the main factor when watching B&B,and no,it shouldn't be taken seriously,but I hate when these snobbish yuppie types get on their high-horses and dismiss it as unintelligent,because it is everything but that! Major gripes aside,let's get down to business.I'm not gonna reveal any details about the movie,for those of you who havn't seen it yet.All I'm gonna say is that it's absolutely HILARIOUS,and very well-written...crude and low-brow of course,but that's the whole point! The show was literaly the official show of my childhood (it started when I was 8,and ended only months before I turned 13),and the movie is everything the show was,and then some.So,if you like crude but intelligent humor,and you're prepared to laugh your gluteus maximus off,then by all means check out "Beavis and Butt-head Do America".Oh,by the way,my review title is taken from one of Beavis's lines (and I didn't misspell "dam"...you'll see what I mean when you watch the movie). -Peace-

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughed so hard I almost passed out..., March 2, 2001

By	David J. Huber "Addicted to books!" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Beavis & Butthead Do America [VHS] (VHS Tape)

And I'm not kidding. This is absolutely one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, in terms of really dumb people who continue to do really dumb (but amazingly hilarious) things. I have NEVER laughed so hard during a movie - and I do laugh a lot - as I did for this one. I actually missed a few parts of the movie - I was laughing so hard I couldn't pay attention anymore, because I was so worried about not starving myself of oxygen.

Robert Stack is absolutely wonderful as the hard-nosed FBI agent, who wants to cavity search everyone he comes across. He plays his role, a very absurd but serious lawman, with perfecet straightness, like Leslie Nielsen in the airplane movies.

This is a movie that is consistently well-written throughout, with no real weak spots, or lapse in the comedy, and no lapse of self-awareness that Beavis and Butthead are truly stupid - intellectualy, culturaly, socially, and interpersonally, they are completely deficient.

The opening, too, is great - just like the musical introduction to starsky and hutch and other truly bad "cinematic" TV shows and movies of the 70s. Thank God we left that decade, eh?

I recommend this movie heartily to anyone who might like Airplane, Monty Python, Hot Shots, or other absurdist humor. Brilliant writing, and hilarious!
