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

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

By	The Phantom (Paisley, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Night at the Roxbury [VHS] (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! . :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars "EMILIO!!!!!!!", February 19, 2001

By	Dan Reef "baddgers" (Waynesburg College) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Night at the Roxbury [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"A Night at the Roxbury" is a surprisingly entertaining look at two lowlife club-hopping brothers who are ridiculously inept. It is funny to see them strut their stuff, while believing that they are looking great but their not.Funny

5.0 out of 5 stars a night at the roxbury, November 25, 1999

By A Customer

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!
