Butt-head: This is gonna be cool. We're getting paid to score.
Beavis: Yeah yeah, hnh hnh, then we're gonna get a big-screen TV, with *two* remotes! Hnh hnh.
Butt-head: Beavis, this is the greatest day of our lives.
Okay, let me first say, this is a BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD movie. If you do not like BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD, DO NOT go to see this movie!!!!! However, if you do like them, I recommened you get out right now and go see it.
The movie starts off with the boys wondering what happened to their TV. They notice that it has been stolen and they vow to find it. This wind their way through America searching for Dallas (she is a woman). They look for her because as they are searching for the TV, they find a drunk who wants them "to do" his wife. Well, of course they think he wants them to score with her when actually he wants them to kill her. And the fun starts their.
This movie is a mix of funny gags that anly Beavis and Butthead could pull off. It is quality entertainment that only fan of Beavis and Butthead would enjoy. I enjoyed this movie alot because Mike Judge knew how to keep pace. Even when they were crawling through the desert and I thought the movie started to lag, he manages to keep the laughs coming.
If you expecting changes from the show keep looking. The same character, the same voices, the same everything from the show and that's what makes it good. You might think with a movie from a TV show, you can change a few things. Often times this spells disaster for films because the film makers veer away from what made the show popular in the first place!

Doesn't suck, but isn't entirely cool, either. The MTV morons go in search of their stolen television set and end up at a flea-bag motel, where some sleaze thinks they're a pair of hitmen (!) and offers them ten grand to "do" his wife. Believing that they'll finally score-- the only action that these two see is of the, uh, self-inflicted variety-- Beavis and Butt-head accept the offer, which lands them on cross-country chase involving international terrorists, biological weapons, and full-body cavity searches by rubber-gloved ATF agents. (After one of which Butt-head admits "I think I just scored.") As expected, there's enough concentrated juvenile humor here to keep any audience giggling, and not just those fans of the show. (The bits are, at times, priceless. While touring the Hoover Dam, Butt-head asks "Is this a God dam?" And don't miss what they say after spotting a defecating donkey at the Grand Canyon.)
Unlike the television series, no music videos are played, except for a psychedelic sequence set to White Zombie (one of many rockin' bands on the soundtrack) and inspired by the designs of those old Rat Fink cars. (More amusing is a Vegas montage set to a Red Hot Chili Peppers cover of "Love Rollercoaster.") BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA is only eighty minutes long, but the last twenty are tiresome. By then, the hilarity has largely petered out. Uh huh huh huh huh, I said peter. Great voice work, though. In addition to director/co-writer/series creator Mike Judge, who voices several characters including the Two Cool Guys, listen for Robert Stack, Cloris Leachman, someone who sounds like Bruce Willis, and another person who sounds an awful lot like Demi Moore. And, yes, I believe that's the voice of Mr. Letterman in one of the more, uh, explosive scenes.
