Instead, Beavis and Butt-Head become obscenely, if understandably enamored with a massive (hehehehe, “ass”) piece of machinery that, yes, OK, definitely looks like a giant dong. Wholly unmoved by the twists their lives have taken, Beavis and Butt-Head return to Highland High School in search of their own true dream: “scoring” with whoever might have them. Also blessedly unchanged is the animation’s crude 2D style the film looks like it could have aired on MTV three decades ago, and that’s a compliment. Picking up soon after the events of “Do America,” director/writer/producer/creator/voice Mike Judge plops his lackadaisical creations right back in Highland, Texas, where pretty much nothing has changed for the pair, despite them being deemed honorary ATF agents by then-President Bill Clinton at the conclusion of the first film (again, truly a different time).
The film delivers on its promise - it is indeed a Beavis and Butt-Head film, though it doesn’t quite “do” the entire “universe” - in a way that’s both weirdly comforting and wonderfully stupid. Nothing will top “Top Gun: Maverick” this summer in its profound ability to please a rabid fanbase, but second place now has a strong contender with “ Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.” Arriving on Paramount+ more than 25 years after the iconic teen morons got their first feature-length production (pause and reflect on how very old you are now consider that “Do America” made a staggering $63 million at the box office), the film likely won’t create throngs of new devotees, but even casual fans will adore it.
