STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
Ultimately,what mars Kevin & Perry Go Large is what marred the Beavis And Butthead movie.While the exploits of 2 pre pubescent teenagers who's own views on the world are overtaking them too much obviously provide a lot of insightful and parodically entertaining fun on the small screen for half an hour,ultimately,a feature length movie stretches the mark a little bit,and the ultimately one joke premise ends up becoming kind of tired and repetitive.
Still,that's not to say there ar'nt good bits in the Kevin and Perry movie.A lot of the laughs are generated from the movie's frank honesty of what that type of teenager is like,and their honest thoughts about things and people around them.Such a scene is when Kevin imagines he has committed suicide,and all those around him he believes to be his enemy are thinking over their loss in buckets of tears,including many beautiful women in bras.This adaptation crosses all barriers and is'nt afraid to do so,and,as a result,the moment's of hilarity it does acheive work very well.
Indeed,while the movie is crude and may be interpreted as offensive by a lot of people,at no point is it really what you'd call tasteless.But,as mentioned,because the story has no coherent structure to follow,the funny scenes ar'nt pieced together at the appropriate moments,as ar'nt the flashy ibiza club tunes,both are very absorbing,but,sadly in a way,not combined into a satisfying whole.Still,it's an honest enough depiction of the best elements from the show,and it ends reassuringly happily too.While not as successful as it's inspiration,it's just as honest and effective.***
