Summary: A tale that technically spans two centuries, Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe promises to sit atop all future lists of the Dumbest Science Fiction Movies Ever Made.

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

Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe feels not only like logical product, but something that should exist. In a weird way, Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe feels even more timely than their last movie. If that was a way to capitalize on the cartoon while its popularity was peaking, Mike Judge’s latest effort is a reminder of how comedy can be. Read full review

Paramount+ should have thrown this movie a theatrical run; it may more or less amount to an 86-minute pilot episode for the new series that’s coming soon, but it’s also one of the funniest movies of the year. Read full review

Though the movie rockets Judge’s doltish heroes into the future, it feels like a charming artifact from the past. 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 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

This movie is exactly what the world needs now. They haven't changed the humor at all, it's like a blast of the 90's making its way into 2022. Hilarious with countless one-liners.

This is just a hilarious throwback to a simpler time. I laughed nonstop throughout this movie, definitely a must see if you enjoyed the shows, the 96 movie, and king of the hill.

In today's overly woke and sensitive world, we need a movie like this. For all its stupidity, it reminds us that its important and therapeutic to have a good laugh. This film is simply hilarious and surprisingly witty in its social commentary.

The first movie was funny, this one is not. Why not make it absolutely filthy now that it is on Paramount+ instead it is the same joke about scoring over, and over again.
