Beavis and Butt-Head Do America

I remember reading Roger Ebert's review of this review and how profound it was. He remarked that it's mistakenly thought that "Beavis And Butt-Head" is a show that takes pride in the stupidity of its main characters and this wasn't the message. He said, "I believe Mike Judge would rather die than share a taxi ride to the airport with his characters...". These are guys you're supposed to laugh at, not with. They are manifestations of creator Mike Judge's anger at ignorant people. They're not relatable at all, although I guess they're not technically bad people.

I've seen some episodes of the newer show and this was quite faithful to it. The animation does seem to be the same as the TV show. What matters is that this movie has a lot of great lines and jokes and that's what it's made for. I was kind of getting a Blues Brothers vibe from this as it features two guys causing all this trouble around the country, including a car pile-up. I didn't root for them like I did the Blues Brothers, oh no. That would again, be missing the point. ***
