Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe

As other people have written, unlike many modern reboots and sequels, it's like a time portal to the '90s because Mike Judge changed nothing. I have rarely laughed as much at a comedy from the last couple of decades during this movie's first half. It lags a bit in the second half, but even during those mundane moments I was pleased to waste time with my favorite morons.

I was 15 when I discovered them on Liquid TV when they were 15, so it was... haunting... to see Judge's representation of them as they would appear as my age today. It was brief, yet haunting. But decades of idiotic living would truly cause that appearance. It's "the faces of meth" without the meth, I guess.

Great job, Mike Judge.

Nobody goes into this movie expecting much in the realm of intellectual enlightenment, and proudly this movie delivers. The general theme is similar to "Beavis and Butthead Do America," in that the two idiots end up on an adventure that they are too stupid to understand. Nevertheless the gags and situations are pretty darn funny, and Mike Judge has done a good job of bringing the humor into a modern context.

This time around the duo are a bit more intelligent than they were back in the day (not by much). Their vocabulary is a bit more advanced as is their critical thinking. Beavis even shows a few signs of personal growth. Also a tad bit is revealed regarding family and personal history.

All told this movie does the franchise justice. If you were dumb enough to enjoy the classic series, you will be happy to see this new addition to their moronic exploits.

Laughed my backside off. Long time fan. If you are not Beavis and Butthead lover don't bother watching. I am tipping only fans will get it. It is totally immature, dumb and bloody brilliant.

Twenty-six years since their last foray onto the big screen, woefully inept, single-minded nitwits Beavis & Butt-Head, two sides of the same coin, still don't have a learning curve and yet somehow manage to end up in space camp where their buffoonery is mistaken as an asset to an important space mission...which of course then leads to disastrous results. The duo's double entendre and off-color humor which was right at home in the 90s is sure to be curtailed in this day and age, yet that doesn't stop this from being an enjoyably goofy (and occasionally clever) showing. Give credit where credit is due, as co-writer and creator Mike Judge astutely zeroes in on the workforce, intercourse, toxic masculinity, plus incarceration, white privilege, and multiverses, in fact hardly anything is spared from parody but it's all done in a way that's both edgy and funny, and without being totally offensive. Doesn't break any new ground though there are plenty of chuckles throughout, though it's likely to be viewed as inconsequential to someone who isn't a fan of the source material. **½

That's was hysterical. Way better then I expected. Had me busting up laughing all the way through. If you're a fan of Beavis & Butthead you definitely need to check this out. 8 stars.
