Mike Judge manages to awaken the sleeping deviant inside fans of the original series in this updated version of the 90s classic that inspired (or uninspired) the MTV generation.

While the days of introducing the youth of America to heavy metal legends, such as White Zombie and Alice in Chains have long passed, this fresh take on these two legendary heathens in the modern universe doesn't disappoint die hard fans who recall their first glimpse of Beavis and Butthead from "The Liquid Television" days.

Beavis and Butthead are still the same burnt out, oblivious ne'er do-wells aging metalheads know and love. Judge even manages to slip a music video into the online content teens (such as Beavis and Butthead) watch today, maintaining relevance and increasing believability for a younger audience.

While this classic buddy show has been so often written off as mindless nonsense, and even credited with the dissolution of morals and attention spans of America, Its longevity, and that of it's talented and thoughtful creator, solidifies what Gen X stoners always knew, Mike Judge is a god damn genius, who reflected the angst and confusion of a transitional generation, often treated like criminals at the onset of puberty. He gave them something that felt like theirs, a secret code of sorts that their parents couldn't understand. And now he's done it again, proving himself a hero, a light in the darkness who comes through when the world needs to laugh at itself the most.

This is obviously a film with no budget, and if you're rating it for that, it gets an A. If you want to see what you can make when your broke, here it is. It isn't perfect. There's ambivalence, but I didn't notice any inconsistencies. You have to come up with your own theory here. This is a morning and indica kinda film.
