Synopsis

Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug and Steve Butabi still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad. They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica and Cambi, and resolve to open a club of their own.

Python Hyena A Night at the Roxbury (1998): Dir: John Fortenberry / Cast: Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Dan Hedaya, Loni Anderson, Molly Shannon: Although not a promising effort, the title demonstrates the desire of two males who wish to be more and see the Roxbury nightclub as a place of purpose. Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell play brothers who stand in line every night at the Roxbury only to be rejected. Dan Hedaya has a pushover role as father who employs them in his fake plants store. He informs Kattan that he is a loser and he brain washes Ferrell who cannot make decision for himself to marry a high class snob. Every buddy cliché is in tact with a predictable outcome. Director John Fortenberry makes fine use of flashy locations. Kattan often overplays a role that isn't interesting to begin with and certainly never draws sympathy. Ferrell on the other hand contains a few laughs as Kattan's brainless brother pushed in a direction he wishes not to go. Hedaya is typecast is typecast as their ruthless father. Also featuring Loni Anderson who obviously had an empty schedule the week she was offered this tripe. Molly Shannon can be very funny but nothing in this can render her remotely effective in terms of humour. Instead of an interesting comedy about growing up it is a mindless geek show that applauds idiocy. With that said viewers may see the Roxbury as the place to avoid. Score: 3 ½ / 10
Irishchatter Don't get me wrong, the playlist songs of the 1990's were so awesome in which I'm really glad whoever added them into this movie. But I just think the movie would've been better if they made Molly Shannon's character dress more disco then actually dressing up as a brunette Polly Pocket doll. It just doesn't suit her as an actress to play a girly girl in my opinion.With Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, the only times they were hilarious enough was when they were dancing like goof-balls and trying to impress the ladies with their moves. However, I think their jokes weren't so funny really, it was like trying to think the joke then laughing at the joke straight away. I suppose this was before Will Ferrell became famous during his time in SNL.If you feel like dancing and don't bother with the comedy, I say just go for this!
Valtresca Not just a comedy but an awesome storyline as well.. I have to say I have watched this movie well over 100 times as when I was in college I let it play continuously on a loop partly because I liked the soundtrack so much. I could totally relate to the two oblivious/loser brothers who aren't ready to face the reality of growing up. I'll have to say though the first time I saw it I was not that satisfied with it and I think I even stopped watching it so if you 've only seen the movie once but enjoy comedies watch this movie again and give it another try because it's the type of movie where you catch things second, third time around that you didn't notice before.I love all the catch phrases from the movie especially Mr. Zadir " Dooey did you grab my ass" My favorite scene from this movie is the wedding scene at the end which marks the climax of the film. They way everything just came together full circle and then the new club what a perfect way to end a movie.
Cole Lynch I'm 14 and I recently watched "A Night At The Roxbury" for the first time. The only reason why I wanted to see it in the first place was because of Chris Kattan (one of my all-time favorite comedians). But I was surprised. Yes, the film is incredibly dated, but so what? The gags/jokes flow perfectly, Ferrell and Kattan's performances are hilarious, the film doesn't dwell on "SEX" like what most recent comedies do and the soundtrack is the icing on the cake. It also might have one of the most rewarding and just simply perfect endings I've seen in any comedy. The bad things for the film is yet again, the film is INCREDIBLY dated and I noticed a lot of similalities to "Wayne's World" (yet another SNL film) like the psycho-girlfriend. It's pretty much "Wayne's World" but with early-mid 90's techno music instead of rock/metal tunes.Overall, quite an underrated comedy gem. Check it out (and the soundtrack too).7.5/10
