Beavis and Butthead do the Universe

 Beavis and Butthead, for eighty-something minutes. It's exactly what you'd expect: two very dumb, very horny teens laughing at dick jokes for most of the runtime, plus a fish out of water plot that plucks them from the 90s and deposits them in this year of our lord 2022, plus some straight men and women baffled by their antics. So you get very basic innuendo and jokes about smartphones.


 The movie is kind of one-note and extremely dumb... by design. If you've never had the pleasure of Messieurs Beavis and Butthead's company, well, the trailer is more than enough to give you an idea whether you'll like it. There are some tiny bits that aim a little higher (including a surprisingly sweet ending) but most of the time it's perfectly happy to affectionately wallow in the protagonists' mindset. As it should.

 So I don't think there's a lot I can meaningfully say about it... I thought it dragged a little, but it's a lot of fun.

 Heheheh, I said butt.
