The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through "creative sentencing" from a juvenile court judge in 1998. Mistaking a docking simulator for something else (huh huh), Beavis and Butt-Head excel at it and are asked to join the space shuttle mission in a PR move. After ruining the mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and reemerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world – and find themselves considered Buttholes of Interest by the NSA, the governor of Texas, and a highly intelligent version of themselves from a parallel universe. Also they almost lose their virginity, but don't.… Expand

If you were a fan of Beavis and Butt-Head, you will love them doing The Universe. They haven’t changed a bit, even though the world around them has changed. It is delightfully charming and ridiculous and completely expected, in the best way possible. Read full review

Beavis And Butt-head Do The Universe is pretty much what you expect—and it’s, uhhhhh, pretty cool. Read full review

The joy of Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is that these two haven’t gotten the memo. Read full review

A legacy sequel that does nothing to revitalize its characters, expand its canon, extend (heh) its mythos, or even really tell a new joke. I laughed through the whole thing. Read full review

Good cartoon characters tend to be ageless, and Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is just clever enough not to feel like an anachronism. The duo’s creator and forever naughty guiding light, the writer-director Mike Judge (who also does their voices), flows the characters into the present day without a hitch in style or a stitch in time.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe maintains and respects the legacy of the classic MTV show. It hits all the same beats, delivers what people will be looking for, and smoothly weaves in social and cultural references from the 90s and today without feeling ham-fisted or forced. It’s hard to say whether this feature will win them any new fans because, as enjoyable as it is, it’s not their finest hour (and 40 minutes). Read full review

At 86 minutes, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe feels twice that long. Most of the good laughs are front-loaded in the premise; the rest pop up every 15 or 20 minutes, which isn’t exactly prime Mel Brooks ratio. Read full review

I have always loved Beavis and Butt-Head. There's something about their complete lack of situational awareness that just brings out the funniest happenings in the situations they end up taking part in. And of course, as always, the main quest is to "do it".

The sexual innuendo is soI have always loved Beavis and Butt-Head. There's something about their complete lack of situational awareness that just brings out the funniest happenings in the situations they end up taking part in. And of course, as always, the main quest is to "do it".

The sexual innuendo is so mindbogglingly funny! It's so well done it even somehow plays a part in the plot this time around. Not just for B&B, but also for the surrounding characters who are oblivious to what is going on. It's almost as if two stories are being told at the same time. I love it!

I also feel like B&B, despite their simple minds, have always been deeper characters than one might think. I really care for them.

This movie is awesome!… Expand

Every so often a movie comes out that changes the paradigm of how we view the art form (i.e., godfather, schindler's list, felini's 8 1/2, etc). This is such a movie. Give the best picture oscar to Mike Judge now, the competition is over.

If you're a fan of Mike Judge (who also did the excellent King of the Hill) then you'll love this film. Ignore the critics, they are too far up their own behinds to enjoy good ol' fun of Bevis and Butt-Head.

Not sure what I expected, but Mike Judge delivered. This was pure B&B fun I forgot I missed. The movie jumps right back into the world for a quick refresher; guess what, these two have never changed an iota. Then we're off on an adventure worthy of the universe. Good fun!

Side Note: San Francisco Chronicle is no fun. They hate almost every movie (unless it's full of woke). Chronicle, fire your movie reviewers. They suck.… Expand

It was okay. A lot of the lines felt forced towards the beginning but it got a lot better towards the end. The joking about white privilege as if it’s not a real thing was a turn off.
