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! . :-)

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.

...get a life, and look for some humor in it. The editorial rating on this movie sucked, cuz this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. HIGHLY recommend this if you are a fan of comedy. If you aren't and you have no sense of humor, don't bother cuz u won't like it.

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.
