On December 20, 1996, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” was released. This big screen adaption of the classic MTV  show has the two teen idiots go on a long adventure to locate their stolen TV.

Along their way, they dodge the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives), see famous landmarks like the  Hover Dam(from which they accidentally release the water), The Grand Canyon, and end up in the white house. They even end up meeting President (at the time) Bill Clinton.

This movie is a whole world of stupid, juvenile fun, which will not  provide any significant comment on  the human experience, but will keep you laughing and entertained for its entire  81 minute run time.

The movie’s plot is very hard to explain because it basically has two plots, one, where Beavis and Butt-head are just wandering around and goofing off across the country, and a second where the ATF are trying to hunt down two (what they think are) criminal master minds who have a stolen experimental biological weapon the “X-5 Unit” a man made virus that can as the head of the ATF, Agent Flemming says “can wipe out 5 states in 5 days”.

This movie is crude to the extreme, but that is the point.

The voices of both Beavis, Butt-head, is done by the Shows creator Mike Judge(also known for his TV hit King of the Hill), but you do get some celebrity voice actors with Bruce Willis voicing Muddy Grimes and Demi Moore voicing Dallas Grimes, but the characters don’t sound like the celebrities who are voicing them so you are not taken out of out of the movie and the characters.

The animation style is that classic thick out-line dirty looking MTV style in the vein of the TV show and Daria, but the shading is vamped up for the full- length movie.

I’m not saying this movie is the best ever made. But if you are a fan of the show or just want to know what the big deal was with these two teenage slacker, I suggest seeing this movie and prepare to start laughing.

The movie is was rated PG-13 for adult situations and language, so I wouldn’t suggest showing to your little cousin, but for immature teens and adults, this movie is perfect.
