A Night at the Roxbury

When this movie hit the screens in the summer of 1998 (or was it 99 in Turkey - anyways), no one knew what it was in Turkey and a very few people went and saw it, I was one of the more fortunate ones to have done so, and i did this twice!!

Yes, i laughed my head off.. Once with my best pal, and the next day with my brother.

It is one of those movies which keeps that stupid smile on your face all through the movie. The Butabi brothers and their relationships with the whole world and their fascination for clubs, women and EMILIOOOO! is a must see for everyone who likes a good laugh.

I can't get the scene where the brothers are loading the flowers into the van. Some really funny stuff.

I bought this on video and have watched it dozens of times and it never gets old. Definitely recommend it...

Apparently, not many people are being very fair about the movie, by rating it at 1 or 2 on scale up to 10. Please people, understand that this movie was not made to get Oscars, or Grammys, it was made for the people entertainment, so don't go off giving that crap about "i dont like will ferrell or chris kattan so it sucked" cause if you don't like them, DONT WATCH THE MOVIE IN THE FIRST PLACE! as simple as that.

I myself am very fond of this movie. I think it is a great comedy, and sure it's not for the whole family, in fact, I'd only recommend it to people who enjoy the stupid comedy on Saturday Night Live.

The movie basically goes like this - Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) are brothers that try to get into the town's best night club, the Roxbury. Although they aren't successful entering the club on their own, they get help when actor Richard Greico's fancy little sport car rams into the back of Doug and Steve's van. Richard doesn't want the boys to sue him, so he invites them all into the Roxbury as a little appology for the car damage. Doug and Steve meet a few "foxy" ladies, get their freak on with them, and get rejected by them. harsh harsh. then the guys get in a huge argument about all the unfortunate events that happened that day, and doug ends up moving out of their bedroom into the guesthouse right nextdoor. and as steve puts it "I just miss doug" dad says "well he's right next door and that things like a mansion!" steve says "but theres no cable" dad says "sure there is." steve says "BUT THERE'S NO HBO!" haha yeah anyways, steve begings dating the college girl that works in her dad's lamp store next to the brothers father's flower shop. the dad had always been trying to hook steve and the girl up, so in the end they're getting married and.. yeah, you watch the rest yourself.

The music choices in the movie were awesome, pure awesome. the cd is G for Great! anyone who has seen this movie and hates it, hasn't paid enough attention to it. Stop looking for the negatives, and you'll see how funny this movie really is. It isn't meant for the big award shows, remember, it's made for "fun, comedy and entertainment." if you don't enjoy any of those things, DON'T WATCH IT. and DON'T HATE will ferrell or chris kattan, cause they're my homeboys and I love them.

peace

a night at the roxbury is a head bobbing halirious ride. when steve butabi (will ferrell) and doug butabi (chris kattan)relize that they cant get into the roxbury there bumbed,but the inoying emily sanderson (molly shannon) trys to get steve to forget about it so he will go out with her. kahmeel butabi (dan hedaya) doesnt even want them to go out to clubs.when they run into there idle richard grieco (richard grieco) he takes the butabies into the roxbury where there life will be drenched with the thought of having there own club.doug and steves mom (loni anderson doesnt mind them going out every night.when they get to the roxbury the meet all sorts of new people like the owner mr. zidere (chazz palminteri),the girl club hoppers cambi (elisa donovan and vivica (gigi race)the limo driver dooey (collin quinn),the greedy priest (mark mckinny).of course theres the people that doug and steve do know like the high school friend craig (lochlyn munro) the lamp store owner mr. sanderson (dwayne hickman), and the credit vicson (meredith scott lynn)plus a dance till you drop soundtrack.after watching a night at the roxbury you will be asking your self what is love?

I'm going out on a limb here. I've just bombed "Joe Dirt," and now I'm going to do an about-face on modern comedies and argue that "A Night at the Roxbury" is brilliant. Most critics didn't see a distinction between these two bombs, but I do.

Comedy oftentimes depends on suffering. Comic protagonists always take a beating, and we either laugh with them, or at them, or maybe we laugh not at all because we couldn't care less. The essential question is, are the protagonists of "A Night at the Roxbury" lovable losers or just totally annoying dweebs who deserve all the grief they get?

You know my answer already. I love the Butabi brothers. They have a strong fraternal bond, they're obsessed with Emilio Estevez, and they can't get any play. What's not to love?

Dan Hedaya is great as the brothers' disgruntled dad, and Chazz Palminteri does a hilarious cameo as an entrepreneur obsessed with ass-grabbing. Richard Grieco demonstrates a remarkable sense of humor about himself by allowing the Butabis to build him up as a big celebrity, when the joke is obviously that he's a total has-been. What a sport, eh?

Nice song, too. I like this stupid movie. Really, I do.

This was an awsome movie! Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell are awsome in this movie! It is amazing how they can do the head bob walking!! This movie had everything! Laughs, tears, head bobbing, clubs, romance...............SCORE! I would love to go to a club where the inside looks like the outside, and the outside looks like the inside. I recommend this movie to everyone! That's right.. everyone! 9.2/10
