Storyline

Our intrepid adolescent heroes wake up to find their beloved television stolen, and embark on an epic journey across America to recover it, and, who knows, maybe even score. On the way they encounter a murderous smuggler of a deadly virus and his treacherous wife, an FBI agent with a predilection for cavity searches, a couple of rather familiar looking ex-Motley Crue roadies, Mr. Van Dreesen singing "Lesbian Seagull", a little old lady and of course Mr. Anderson and his trailer. Can the Great Cornholio save the day? Uh-huh. Huh-huh.

Trivia

Goofs

Crazy Credits

The opening credits sequence is done in a style that spoofs 70s cops shows, and features an Isaac Hayes song, which could be considered a style parody of the theme to Shaft.

User Reviews

"This is cool. Uhuh huh huh."

It's an all-out laugh-fest as Beavis and Butt-Head embark on a quest to get their TV back and, who knows, maybe even score! Uhuh huh huh.

From start to finish, this movie is hilarious with all the classic antics the two idiots pull off while new elements are brought into the film. It still has some of the original characters like Mr. Vandreson and the mumbling principal while bringing in all new characters to get some chuckles out of.

With wonderful jokes and stars like Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Robert Stack, Beavis and Butt-head Do America will make you laugh so hard you'll need two extra pairs of underwear!

Go see this movie and hail the great Cornholio. Hehhehhehheh.
