Plots(1)
Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan bring their head-bobbing, club-hopping Butabi brothers to the big screen in this fall-down-funny comedy. It seems like Steve (Ferrell) and Doug Butabi (Kattan) will never be cool enough to make the Roxbury club's guest list. That is, until they have a fender bender with their role model, club regular Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street). Eager to avoid litigation, Grieco befriends the starstruck pair and escorts them into a glittery world they once only dreamed about. Score! No longer will the hapless Butabis be A-club people leading B-club lives...maybe. (official distributor synopsis)

Surprisingly, I had a pretty good time! Will Ferrell is insane, but his pathetic performance was the only thing that bothered me significantly about the film. Compared to the idiotic Kevin & Perry Go Large, A Night at the Roxbury is a gem.

I know it's stupid, it doesn't have a meaningful plot, and the actors are doing more crazy improvising than acting, but that still didn't stop me from having an absolute blast. Headbanging to "What is Love" now has cult significance.

This movie has been bothering me for a while. On the one hand, it is just a silly comedy, where it is advisable to turn off all your brain as quickly as possible and enjoy the few jokes that come along and land well. On the other hand, this is a movie about two repulsively awful characters with whose life goals only a few people could identify with, and who you wish would get nothing but a hard slap in the face. Moreover, the movie’s message is so morally corrupt that you would rather remember the little "highlights" with Chazz Palminteri and Dan Hedaya than ponder over the movie’s disturbingly depraved message any further.
