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! . :-)

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!

This movie just plain makes you feel good. It has excellent, upbeat music, very bright colors, and good hearted, LA slick and easy characters. In short, mindless fun that looks great, moves fast, and keeps your toes tapping. Like the first Austin Powers, this movie has a lovable tone from beginning to end and works great as video and aural wallpaper. While you're choring or reading the paper, lighten up to the music and glance at the screen to get a dose of color and fun.

In my opinion, Will Ferrell is very underrated right now. He's got the super-friendly look of the guy that everybody likes but deep back he has some dark reservoir that either boils just below the surface or erupts in a burst. I think his immense likability allows him to go dark and get laughs where other actors might just seem offensive. This is mostly seen on certain SNL skits and "Dick" (where his quick "slowburn" is more classic than Ted Knight's). In Roxbury he is likeable throughout, but a slight glimmer of knowingness seems to filter through the character. He almost seems to be making fun of stupid movies by being stupid and winking at us.

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.

i have no idea why so many people think this is a bad movie. this is a great movie. if you are a will ferrell fan, chris kattan fan, or just a snl fan in general you will love this movie. this movie has great jokes, great actors, and a story-line that never gets old.

Yes, I will admit this movie is stupid. But that's the thing that makes it so hilarious! You can't help but make "no....YES!" slip into your vocabulary, and you will be trying to learn their dance in the car for your whole life. I only have one more thing to say...SEE THIS MOVIE!!

It's even funnier the fourth time you see it!!! Its nice to go back every once in a while and see how Kattan & Ferrell got there start:)

Ok, so this movie doesn't answer any of life's more delicate questions. You gotta admit, though, it's a good time.
I like the movie, and the characters these guys play. Doug and Steve Butabi are so completely out of the loop, yet they remain clueless to this fact. They head-bob their way through life, and everything in the end works out exactly as they always knew it would.
p.s.- The scene in the car where the brothers are doing their "vogue" routine is priceless. Chris Kattan's line about all the work they put into it had me laughing uncontrollably. (Who would practice such a thing?)
An overall good movie if you don't take yourself to seriously.

This movie made me laugh so hard I gained a nice six pack!!! It is FUNNY!!! Will & Chris do great! I just bought the DVD cuz I had to have it in my collection! BUY IT TODAY!!!

I never planned to see this movie until my niece told me about it and then one day it came on Showtime and I liked it a lot and I recommend this movie if you like stupie kinda funny. All I wanna say is this is one of the best comedy movies of all time.
