A Night at the Roxbury (1998)

Best movie ever!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I had never even heard of the "Saturday Night Live" skit this was based on. All I knew about this was the massive amount of buzz it created as a meme on YTMND. I honestly think it set a record for biggest meme on that entire website. I admit to not knowing really why, because the movie's mediocre at best. This movie features two brothers who try to get in at a nightclub called the Roxbury. Actually, only half of the movie is that.The other half is them trying to get girls. It's pretty clichéd, especially with how it's about two guys who split up and have to get back together. I kept thinking Jim Carrey was involved in this somehow. Apparently, he WAS, but it was only uncredited as a writer. Some jokes are good, but for the most part, it's pretty forgettable. Again, the music is amazing. **

Don't get me wrong, the playlist songs of the 1990's were so awesome in which I'm really glad whoever added them into this movie. But I just think the movie would've been better if they made Molly Shannon's character dress more disco then actually dressing up as a brunette Polly Pocket doll. It just doesn't suit her as an actress to play a girly girl in my opinion.With Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, the only times they were hilarious enough was when they were dancing like goof-balls and trying to impress the ladies with their moves. However, I think their jokes weren't so funny really, it was like trying to think the joke then laughing at the joke straight away. I suppose this was before Will Ferrell became famous during his time in SNL.If you feel like dancing and don't bother with the comedy, I say just go for this!

Los Angeles-area brothers Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell (as Doug and Steve Butabi) have a serious case of arrested development. The adult men share a bedroom in their parents' home and dress like idiots. They dream of someday opening their own disco, but neither Mr. Kattan nor Mr. Ferrell seem smarter than a fifth grader. One of their greatest skills is bopping their heads, in unison, to Haddaway's "What Is Love?" They love the nightlife and wanna boogie, but can't even gain admittance to the popular "Roxbury" nightclub. One evening, the brothers are lucky enough to get into a fender-bender with Richard Grieco. To avoid blame, the "21 Jump Street" star gets Kattan and Ferrell into the club. They score with attractive women and lose their virginity...All good skits from the late-night TV series "Saturday Night Live" seem to falter around 30 seconds before they end. Curiously, many go on to become feature-length films. Kattan and Ferrell (as the Butabi Brothers) follow this progression. On television, they were sometimes joined by Jim Carrey; here, he does not appear. We do get to see old favorites Loni Anderson ("WKRP") and Dwayne Hickman ("Dobie Gillis "), although the word "old" will likely never accurately describe Ms. Anderson. She would have no trouble being admitted to the Roxbury and finding a dance partner. The cast and crew do a nice job and the script seems logical, but the motion picture never seems to stretch. That's okay, because an average movie is certainly better than a dud.***** A Night at the Roxbury (10/1/98) John Fortenberry ~ Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Dan Hedaya, Molly Shannon
