MTV duo Beavis and Butthead go on a trek across America in search of their stolen TV. It takes them a minute or two to realise the set's missing, and when they do the adventure begins. Along the way they bump into a man who has hired to "young-looking" men to "do" his wife. Our comical duo turn up and are mistakingly thought to be the hitmen, whom the man (actually Bruce Willis) sends to his wife. They obviously think that when they are supposed to "do" the wife (Demi Moore), it actually means kill. This woman is on the run from the FBI for having some device that holds a fatal chemical in it. The wife plants the device in Beavis' shorts, and so the FBI now focus their attention on B&B.

First of all, this was a very funny film. And to be honest, you don't even need to be a fan of the series, just have an open mind. You know what you're going to get throughout the film; a series of rude and crude jokes, sexual innuendos, and annoying grunts (huh huh). I personally got bored of the TV series (yes, I used to watch it), but this is a refreshing change because there are no music video interludes, and the jokes are thick and fast. However, there is a limit as to how many "pecker" and "wood" jokes you can take, but I'm not sure if B&B crossed it - I was too busy laughing at every single one of them.

If you really do despise these two characters, then you won't find anything in this film to make you like them. If you don't mind them then check it out, and if you enjoy the series then you'll love this. It isn't as "adult" as the series describes itself, hence the 12 rating so kids can see it. I would recommend this to anyone from pre-teens to young adults, or basically the MTV generation. Oh, and before I forget, there is a cameo appearance from our friend Cornholio.
