It's gleefully lowbrow stuff, and that's just the way we like it. You'll be conning yourself out of loads of laughs if you do.Īnd look-out for Daria Morgendorfer in the 'Lesbian Seagull' scene.Īnimated MTV characters Beavis and Butt-Head made their feature film debut with this very funny movie that actually does a good job of sustaining itself for 81 minutes, with a pretty good story and plenty of the kind of humour that us B & B fans love so much.
Don't be put off by what you may have heard or may think of Beavis and Butthead. It's a sort of calming, easy-going animation style that he's totally made his own. Avoiding bright, primary colors used in shows such as The Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama, he uses mainly softer colors, pencil-effect scenery and water-color backgrounds.
Mike Judge's animation style also brilliant. The set-pieces are wonderful and the mushroom-induced dream sequence by Rob Zombie looks amazing. So, as they take off across the country, causing absolute mayhem wherever they go, the ATF closely follow, giving full body cavity searches to everyone and anyone they meet at the order of head honcho Agent Flemming (the late Robert Stack), who comes out with some brilliant, deadpan one-liners. But we discover (they don't, however) that Dallas and Muddy are part of international weapons conspiracy and our two teen-aged heroes are being set-up to take the blame. Misinterpreting this as any horny teenagers would, B+B head to Las Vegas to carry out the terrible act. I know a lot of you who have never seen Beavis and Butthead probably think very little of the show based on the low-brow nature of it (I was one of them), but if you give this movie a chance you'll see that it's actually as well written and at times as, dare I say, subtle as King of the Hill.īeavis and Butthead have their TV stolen and when trying to get it back are mistaken for hit men by drunken drunk Muddy Grimes (Bruce Willis, as I was rather shocked to find out once the credits rolled), who sends them on a mission to 'do his wife' Dallas.
