OUR TAKE: 2 out of 10 Proving once again that it's difficult to transform a three or four-minute skit into a feature length film, "A Night at the Roxbury" is sporadically funny at best, but mightily strains to fill its brief eighty minute runtime.īased on a currently running, and somewhat humorous skit on TV's "Saturday Night Live," this film follows in a long line of skits that have landed with varying results as feature movies. GIGI RICE and ELISA DONOVAN play two women who pursue and sleep with the brothers because they think they're rich.They hit on women and wildly and suggestively dance with them. WILL FERRELL and CHRIS KATTAN play two brothers who think they're hip and stylish, but are anything but that.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13 For sex related humor, language and some drug content. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're fans of the "Saturday Night Live" skit and the characters in it, they probably will. Zadir, and his assistant, Dooey (COLIN QUINN).Īs they tell him of their plans detailing their own "dream" club, two opportunistic women, Cambi (ELISA DONOVAN) and Vivica (GIGI RICE) mistake them for wealthy entrepreneurs and immediately set their gold-digger sights on them. Not wanting any sort of report, Grieco gets them into the club where they meet the owner, Mr. Working at their dad's synthetic plant store by day - where Steve must put up with the constant attention of an adjacent store owner's daughter, Emily (MOLLY SHANNON) - the guys get their break when actor Richard Grieco (playing himself), smashes into their vehicle. Living at home with their dad (DAN HEDAYA) and mom (LONI ANDERSON), these young adults dream of one day getting into the hottest club in the city, the Roxbury. PLOT: Steve (WILL FERRELL) and Doug Butabi (CHRIS KATTAN) are bar hopping brothers who don't realize that their failed attempts at being hip, cool, and stylish immediately label them as losers. QUICK TAKE: Comedy: Two brothers, who don't realize they're losers, try to get into the exclusive Roxbury club while dreaming of opening a club of their own.
