A good movie

First of all, I have to admit that I haven’t seen many episodes of ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ in the 90’s but it does make sense since I was living in France at the time and, back then, we didn’t have access to MTV. Eventually, I basically saw it a couple of times when I went to the US a few summers. Anyway, even if I wasn’t really familiar with this cartoon, I always thought that these characters were entertaining and I loved the dark cynical mood (it’s strange that I really never cared about ‘South Park’ though) so I was curious to see this full-length feature. Well, somehow, it took me more than 25 years to see the damned thing but it turned out to be worth the wait. Indeed, even though, in most cases, it is actually rather misguided to expand such stories from short episodes to a much longer running time, I have to admit that it actually worked here. Indeed, even with this format, these guys were still really funny which was even more surprising since I usually find moronic characters more cringe-inducing than actually entertaining. For once, they didn’t stay at home watching some TV, instead, they went on a road-trip which was some rather lazy writing but they had to expand the scope somehow to reach almost 90 mins of running time. Furthermore, the whole thing was seriously random but it was rather expected with this material and I was once again surprised that most of the jokes were actually quite funny. The weirdest thing was probably when they met their (possible) biological fathers in the middle of a desert but the way this random encounter was handled was actually really neat. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was maybe nothing groundbreaking, it was actually quite entertaining, much more than I anticipated, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you enjoyed the cult MTV TV-show.
