Expanding their one-joke skit from television's Saturday Night Live, Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell are Doug and Steve Butabi, the wearers of the rayon suits and Speedo trunks who bob their heads in unison to dance music while unsuccessfully preying on women in clubs. What's funny in a three-minute piece doesn't always get funnier by expansion, but Kattan and Ferrell give it a go with fellow SNL member Molly Shannon as their ambitious neighbor. By day they work in their father's fake-plant store. By night they prowl the club scene after spraying on the cologne in their gauchely decorated bedroom. A fender-bender with Richard Grieco (playing himself) gets them into the popular club the Roxbury, but it's not all good news, as the brothers soon find themselves torn apart. Doug and Steve are pathetic but lovable, mostly due to the actors' talents for self-deprecating humor. All gifted comedians, Kattan, Ferrell, and Shannon obviously feel comfortable around each other, and their love triangle (which prompts send-ups of Say Anything and Jerry Maguire) is the funniest joke in this mostly lame comedy. Too bad, because it clocks in at about 80 minutes and could have run on television as a pretty good episode of SNL, which has been known to get a bit lame itself. --Shannon Gee

Product Description

Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan bring their head-bobbing, club-hopping Butabi brothers to the big screen in this fall-down-funny comedy. It seems like Steve (Ferrell) and Doug Butabi (Kattan) will never be cool enough to make the Roxbury club's guest list. That is, until they have a fender bender with their role model, club regular Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street). Eager to avoid litigation, Grieco befriends the starstruck pair and escorts them into a glittery world they once only dreamed about. Score! No longer will the hapless Butabis be A-club people leading B-club lives...maybe. Featuring Loni Anderson, Dan Hedaya, Molly Shannon and dance-'til-you-drop soundtrack, A Night At The Roxbury is infectiously funny entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Night at The Roxbury - This is one brilliant film April 15, 2000

By The Phantom

Format:VHS Tape

I saw this film for the first time at a friend's house at New Years Eve and can honestly say that this is the PERFECT movie for having a party or LAN meet (to all of you online gamers out there). I've described it as "The best movie on the face of this earth when you're half drunk" and I maintain that opinion.

There's no doubt that Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are the stars of the show with their crazy antics and mental dancing (That head bobbing is helluva catchy amongst friends). The storyline retains itself throughout and though it could be described as a "Typical American Story" it's done with such humour that, for me, it cannot fail.

The description on the cover is that it's "the dumb and dumber of disco" - Very good analysis.

I'd like to say in closing, try the film out. It's a funny, feelgoood movie that everyone can have a good laff at, and if you give it a reasonable chance I'm sure you'll really like it - then you'll be like EMIIIIILLLLLIIIIIOOOOOOO! . :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars a night at the roxbury November 24, 1999

By A Customer

Format:DVD

I think this movie was the most hilarious I have seen in years. Even though it wasn't very popular with a lot of critics, it had me in histerics. I feel Chris Kattan is the funniest in the movie and I believe him to be a very talented comedic entertainer! Will Ferrell was hilarious as well! The two of them together had me almost in tears, I was laughing so damn hard. It's funny, because there are guys that are really like that in the clubs. You know, sitting around dancing with no rythum what so ever and trying to look cool in front of all the ladies. So to watch this film was almost like being there. That is my opinion anyway. I also loved the music they had in this movie. It was very entertaining! Well I feel I explained it all. This movie is a must see! It definately will make you laugh. I say good job to Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell, I looooovvvvvveeee you guys! I would definately see another movie with Chris Kattan in it. What a funny guy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most awesome idiotic comedy movie ever November 23, 2005

By PCE

Format:DVD

I tend to favor movies that have more intellectual stimulation in general (the latest favorites being "Capote", "A History of Violence", "The Constant Gardener")....but this lame movie really makes me laugh out loud so hard that I'm nearly crying and gasping for air. I suppose it must touch a nerve being that I'm from Queens, NYC and that I am overly conscious of the stereotypes and sentiments of the characters in this comedy sketch. I find my enjoyment of this movie to be consistent with another beloved movie, "Dodgeball" (probably because I was always getting hit with dodgeballs growing up as a total nerd) and "Zoolander" (probably because as an urban female, I take fashion too seriously). Anyway I consider this to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I hope you will find it so as well.
