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

Responsible for launching the career of one of my favorite comedians..........2007-09-07
As a devoted Ferrell fan my wife insisted that I finally get around to watching `Night at the Roxbury'. Honestly, how can you claim to worship the comedian if you have never seen his earliest work? So I made my way down to my local video store and rummaged through the videos until I found this DVD hidden behind a slew of less impressive fodder and made my way up to the checkout line. Upon seeing the video I was renting the young girl checking me out starting to involuntarily bob her head to the side and hum the tune of some 90's dance track and I knew that I was in for a cult classic. To label `Night at the Roxbury' a cult classic may not sit well with everyone, but to be completely honest it is the film that launched the mega-successful career of Will Ferrell, and that alone is worth mentioning. Do I think `Night at the Roxbury' is Ferrell's funniest film? No, but I do think that this was one heck of a start for his career and watching this film further proves that he's always had it.
The movie centers around brothers Doug and Steve Butabi (no...yes). As has been mentioned, this film, along with so many others starring the SNL alumni, is just an expansion of their SNL skits. These two brothers are as lame as lame can be, but in their own eyes they are the coolest cats on the block. Doug, played by Chris Kattan, is the ringleader. He's the more independent outspoken brother. Ferrell's Steve is more of a follower, gullible and naïve and easily manipulated. They work in their father's fake-plant shop but their real dream is to one day open their own night club. After a chance meeting with the owner of the popular club `The Roxbury' they find themselves one step closer to their dream but when their father, the girl next door and a bitter rival come between them and their nightclub they find themselves torn apart and their spirits, along with their dreams, begin to crumble.
This film is hilarious in scenes, corny in most, and just plain ridiculous some of the time, but as some have already mentioned, this is just good goofy fun. This is not the type of film to take seriously so why bother trying to. Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are hilarious here. In fact, Kattan is so funny that I'm surprised his career didn't skyrocket as well. It's funny to me to watch this film and see how it helped launch Ferrell's career yet Kattan hasn't done much more than the ill-received and poorly orchestrated Corky Romano. Molly Shannon is also great here as the seductive manipulating girl after Steve's heart and the prospect of a family business venture. To any fan of SNL or Ferrell will want to see this, as I'm sure they already have. Now I can really say I'm a fan of Ferrell, a big fan, for I've seen his most recognized film, the film that started it all, and I can honestly say that from the dialog to the soundtrack it's a winner.
A Period Piece........2007-07-26
Sometimes you look at an old goofy photograph of yourself and you know that person so well - you just have to laugh. From today's perspective, that's kind of what watching this movie's like: The movie itself is parodying the `90's dance scene, as the characters themselves try to squeeze out whatever hip was left in late `80's music. And they go through it all as if they don't have a clue, as if we ever really did. From the first five minutes, the characters and plot are so clunky that you know how it'll end just as well as you know your own hand. But it's just as well, and it's so FUNNY, and if you have friends they'll get it right there with you.
The world is becoming filled with so much junk today, I guess time can only march forward, as new generations toss the bad movies of my adolescence into yestergeneration's trash bin. Perhaps some day our kids will watch this movie in an anthropology class.
I just hope that they don't make the mistakes we did.
But this movie gets 3 stars instead of 2 because of the lamp-fake-flower plant shop subplot.
I say it was good..........2007-06-14
but I think will ferrel and chris kattan were alot funnier on SNL which use to be funny back then. The music sucked in this movie (I heard the soundtrack) and some of the jokes were just stupid and some were pretty funny like one of the stupid jokes where steve (will ferrel) imitates an ambulance sound before having sex with one of the hookers he met at the club that was stupid. Well I give it a 3 out of 5 stars for not sucking so bad but it's not my type of movie anymore.
HILARIOUS!!!!.......2007-02-14
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:)
shipment fine.......2007-01-10
My order arrived just as specified. Item was in advertised condition and was just what I was looking for.
