Movie Stats & Links |
| Starring: |
The voices of Mike Judge, Robert Stack, Cloris Leachman,
and what sounds like Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. |
| MPAA Rated: |
PG-13 |
| Kiddie Movie: |
I'm mature enough to understand these guys, the Three
Stooges, and the old unedited Bugs Bunny, but I still don't
think Beavis and Butthead is cool for little kids. |
| Date Movie: |
You should be so lucky as to have a girl that likes
Beavis and Butthead, and if she does, bring her out for this
one. |
| Gratuitous Sex: |
Nope. Beavis and Butthead don't score.
|
| Gratuitous
Violence: |
Car crashes, floods, Beavis being thrown from a car, and
general mayhem. |
| Action: |
No, dammit. The boy's don't get any! Ohh... Action like
in adventure? Sure. A little. |
| Laughs: |
Lots and lots. |
| Memorable
Scene: |
Lot's, but when the boy's run into two former Motley Crew
roadies who passed through Highland almost 16 years ago,
"did it" with two sluts, and look remarkably like the boy's,
comes to mind. That or when Butthead makes a pass at Chelsea
Clinton. |
| Memorable
Quote: |
Again lot's, but the dam, as in Hoover, jokes seem to
stick out. |

What is it about them that can, on a Friday
1:30pm showing, nearly fill an entire theater. About two thirds of
the people were the type one would expect to show up, you know... The
MTV generation, all those 16 year olds to the Twenty/Thirty
Something's. But the other third I could not explain nor did I expect
to be there. What was with the business people dressed in suits? How
about the mid-thirty's moms and dads there with really small children?
And lastly, what was with all the geritol's? Could Beavis and
Butt-head have charm and appeal to unite the generations? I would have
never figured on that, I just thought they appealed to all us
dysfunctional family bred slackers.
Before meeting the Dude on the Right at the show, I got to read
the reviews in the papers. Most critics didn't rate the movie too
high and some other critics were just down right mean. What shallow
minds? But let's face it, you either like B&B, or you don't. For you
B&B fans out there I'm sure you've been waiting for this movie, and
no matter what the critics say you'll go out and see it. Good for
you! Well let me add to your anticipation by saying this is one funny
movie.
Beavis and Butt-head may be up to the same old shit, but it's still
funny. Be it inadvertently getting Anderson's body cavity searched,
to Van Dereasen's ass kicked, or to Beavis spazzing out and becoming
Cornholio. I laughed through it all. As we all already know Beavis
and Butthead live for two things, TV and to someday "do it." Well,
when their TV is stolen, they set out to find it (sort of reminded me
of Snoopy Come Home). As usual when the boys are out and about they
get themselves in some trouble. This time they stumble across an arms
dealer who mistakes them for hit men that he wants to hire to "do"
his wife. He's even willing to pay the boys to "do" his wife.
Boy-o-boy have these guys hit the jackpot. Speaking of jackpots, it
just so happens that the wife is out in Las Vegas (my favorite town
next to Calgary). Herein comes the "Do America" part of the movie.
Our friends head out to LV, but before they get to "do it" they get
tricked by the wife into holding a secret weapon and taking a bus to
Washington DC. Along the was they wreak havoc on Hoover dam (was it
built by God thereby making it a "God dam?" Hey don't get mad at me
for that one. It was Beavis' line). Then, amid the splendor of Old
Faithful, they discover a cooler natural wonder - automatic flushing
toilets. From there it's taking confession at a Catholic mission,
doing Peyote in the desert, and running amuck in the White House. At
the finish, Anderson and not our heroes, gets it in the end, both
literally and figuratively speaking. I could tell you more and with
greater detail, but I don't want to spoil all the fun for YOU. "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" was all I expected it would be.
Just plain, silly, and stupid fun. I would have like to have seen an
appearance by Stuart and Buzz-Cut, but I guess I'll have to wait for
the next movie. "Next movie?" you say? Well I haven't heard anything,
but let's face it, this movie should be big and make tons of money,
and where there is money there is always a sequel. Look at the Police
Squad, Star Trek, and Die Hard movies etc. And like good brain-washed
lemmings I'm sure we'll go out and see "Beavis and Butt-head Return,"
"Beavis and Butt-head First Contact," "Beavis and Butt-head - The
College Years," "Beavis and Butt-head Forever," "Beavis and Butt-head -
The Final Chapter," "Beavis and Butt-head - One Last Time," and so
forth and so on. I liked "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" and I,
without hesitation, recommend that if you're already a B&B fan that
you go out and see the movie.
I give "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" 3.5 stars out of 5 and I'm
Stu Gotz. Penis. Aahhh, huh, huh, huh, huh... I said Penis. |
