Une nuit au Roxbury

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.

I reluctantly rented this movie for my husband. He wanted to see it at the theatre but I didn't want to - I had never seen SNL (which DOES make a difference. If you don't know the skit, you don't really 'get it'). So one night I picked up some movies, including this one - and I became hooked!

I could NOT stop laughing. I thought it was so funny. I loved their clothes and their hair looked great. Since then I've seen this movie a million times!

One of the things I liked best about this movie is that it really WAS tastefully done. There was virtually no swearing in it, and no sex scenes (which disgust me). It almost seems like they were discouraging vulgarity...I had to respect Chris Kattan when his 'one night stand' (Eliza Donovan) said "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Joanie loves Chachi. But does Chachi give a flying - f*** about Joanie?" He kind of looked at her and made a face that showed he was turned off by her language.

I would actually feel comfortable enough to let my 2 year old see it (which she has and she's decided she has a crush on 'Crissattan'.)

The boys come from a close-knit family with money. But somehow, they don't see any of it. They look nice when they go out and it's cool to see brothers who are so close. Will Ferrell is a tremendous talent. The music is AWESOME! :)

I cannot STAND Molly Shannon. I don't even understand how she got on SNL in the first place. She is just AWFUL. She's unattractive, perverted, and all of her characters on SNL just seem to be the same.

In all, this was a terrific movie. I loved it! Just watch it with an open mind and remember that it's a SILLY COMEDY, not an Academy Award Winner!

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?

This is my all time favorite movie ever. If you are ready to laugh your head off then grab a bunch of friends and watch this movie together.

Doug and Steve Butabi come out with the funniest sayings that you'll be repeating with your friends for a long time. They have got tons of catch phrases you can use everyday. "Are you two brothers?" "No... Yes! get em every time! yea Doug's hilarious!" I've practically memorized the whole movie! You've got to see it! Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell work wonderfully together and provide non-stop laughter for people of all ages. If you haven't seen this movie then I suggest you see it and then spread the word on how good it is!

This movie was better than I expected! These two are such dorks, but that is what's funny! The outfits, the attitude, the car are all part of the comedy too. Best part: "Is that a mirror in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants." Also the spoof of Jerry Maguire is great too. Watch if you are in the mood for a good comedy with funny humor.
