Summary: Did you touch my.......
Review: A night at the Roxbury(Expanded from characters from USA television's Saturday Night Live,) is about two brothers(Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell paly the brothers Doug and Steve Butabi), who spend most of their spare time clubbing in LA. This of course sounds normal, but the Butabi brothers are lovable losers, whereing rayon suits and their chat up lines on the female population will bring tears to your eyes.

At day they work for their over bearing father who owns a plastic plant store, but dream of clubing in The Roxbury, the coolest most exclusive club in L.A. Their lives are changed forever when they are involoved in a fender-bender with Richard Grieco (playing himself).

This film is very very funny, and the sound track brilliant. One thing is for sure, you'll never listen to Hadaway's 'What is Love' with the same eyes again. The film as some very funny spoof moments, making fun of films like Jerry Maguire and Say Anything.

A great comedy, the sound is grade A on DVD.

However this film is not for everone, not all of my friends liked this film, but if you've got a good sense of humour, I think you will. A night at the roxbury is a typical funny american comedy. A film what which earned its 5 stars in my collection, as its been watched over and over again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nevermind if the movie is not great, it's still fun!
Review: SNL alums Will Ferrell(before he went 'Elf' on us) and Chris Kattan play dumb, club-hopping brothers from LA. Both stars are hilarious because they never score with the ladies while at the clubs. They come up with the worst lines, which makes it even funnier.

OK, so it didn't win any Oscars, but i know it's not good. In fact, it's only the very few films I admit I enjoyed. The Butabi brothers are so over the top, I can't help myself laugh. The story is non-existent, but the characters help carry this film. It's pure escapist fun. I want to get the DVD, but I'm afraid to buy it!

Summary: Mediocre movie, mediocre DVD
Review: Here is another 60-second SNL sketch stretched into a feature-length film (well, sort of, it's barely over an hour without the credits). And stretched it is, quite thinly.

The premise of the series of sketches the movie is based on features two brothers played by Will Farrel and Chris Kattan. The brothers rarely speak, and the sketches are allegedly made humorous because they're constantly jerking their heads to the side to the steady beat of cheesy dance club music, regardless of whether or not the music is present.

This is the one joke the movie owes its existance to. The good news is that the brothers abandon the head jerking for the majority of this film. The bad news is that removing the head thing eliminated that one joke, and they forgot to add others in. Maybe they tried, but it's hard to tell. The plot is entirely inessential and wearily generic, serving only to place the brothers into new locations to make wisecracks, and occasionally, have sex. Much of what is meant to be humor is so woefully unfunny it's almost painful to watch.

But enough of that. In the event that someone may happen to find some elusive perspective from which A Night At The Roxbury has any redeeming value whatsoever, it is recommended that he or she stick with the VHS version rather than the DVD. The DVD, of course, comes with the advantages intrinsic to all DVDs: Longer life, no rewind time, and better sound and video. But that's all. No bonuses are included on this disk, save the theatrical trailer, which is hardly of any value to anyone without Farrel's and Kattan's portraits tattooed on their body. And in this sort of movie, sharper video and audio don't really matter.

Recommended only for hardcore SNL fans. DVD recommended only for hardcore SNL fans who absolutely must have everything on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Happy Tears, in fact.. Tears of hysterical laughter
Review: Was it a good film?
No....YES!

I absolutely adored this film. Not many films have me rolling on the floor clutching my side from too much laughter. Will Ferrell is hilarious and with Chris Kattan, what could go wrong? The two brothers are so pathetic that you just want to root for them. Eventually the underdog wins and there is a happy ending.

PS- Hey Emily, nice bulbs.

Summary: so dumb it's funny
Review: If you're looking for an intelligent movie, then you're looking in the wrong place with Night at the Roxbury. Those SNL fans, or even fans of the silly comedies will appreciate this one. Warning: don't show this movie to anyone that tends to repeat what they see in the movie incessantly. This movie if full of lines that are great for repeating. It's an enjoyable light-hearted movie that isn't too incredibly perverted (it has some crude humor, but overall, just slapstick comedy). Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan do a great job, all they needed was Jim Carrey to be the third (that particular episode of SNL where they do this skit was a masterpiece) and the movie would have been perfect.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a night at the roxbury
Review: 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!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very bad.
Review: This was not very funny as a Saturday Night Live skit, so making it into a movie was even worse. Not funny at all, and very bad.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An overall creative film
Review: You certainly want to feel sorry for these two social losers. Two brothers, with the ambition of owning a social club, suddenly discover that their sorry existances have, by a sudden car accident, elevated to a higher position than they ever imagined. The movie portrays them both as intensely likable characters, and you want to root for them. It is a pleasant surprise to see that they do achieve exactly what they wanted. However, they are clearly naive, not able to keep the girls, nor their status. It is fairly humorous, even though I didn't think it would when I first began watching it. An overall creative film.

And sadly, yes, many of us guys do dance like that in clubs. I'm not among them.
