Movie Info
This comedy extends and embellishes characters introduced on Saturday Night Live by regulars Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan in their sketch series of two head-bobbing losers who go on the town, looking for action, when they hear the What Is Love? disco tune. Looking cool, brothers Steve (Ferrell) and Doug Butabi (Kattan) always fail to pick up women in their hapless nightclub jaunts. In Beverly Hills, they work at a fake-flower store run by their father (Dan Hedaya). They are always denied
entrance to the Roxbury, a leading discotheque, but an auto accident with Richard Grieco (portraying himself) gives them a foot in the door. Inside, they meet the club's owner (an uncredited Chazz Palminteri), and two gold-diggers (Elisa Donovan, Gigi Rice) believe they are wealthy businessmen. Steve finds his father shoving him into marriage with next-door neighbor Emily (Molly Shannon), but Doug keeps this from happening. Fortune smiles, and the Butabi brothers become the co-owners of a new nightclub. The real-life Roxbury on the Sunset Strip (once the location of the Imperial Gardens and the Players Club) was converted into a Japanese restaurant by the time this film was released. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
A Night at the Roxbury probably never had a shot at being funny anyway, but I don't think it planned to be pathetic. It's the first comedy I've attended where you feel that to laugh would be cruel to the characters.
Anyone who is more than momentarily diverted by this motion picture has such a radically different idea from me of what constitutes 'entertainment' that we may never agree on anything.
Depois de um tempo, parei de prestar aten��o na hist�ria (hein?) e me concentrei na boa trilha sonora. Al�m disso, o filme � curto o bastante para n�o se tornar intoler�vel.
Silly, stupid, and not very much fun (or funny). I didn't much care for this when I first saw it, and my feelings haven't gotten better since then.

Very funny and original SNL short that kinda makes it ok onto the big screen. An early film for both Ferrell and Katan but it still shows some really good chemistry and some really high laughs, its a shame they havent made more together. Its hugely dated now but so good to see, the music, club style and look and the
brilliant wardrobe on display haha there are some really golden moments in this but one wonders how much better it may have been if Carey was in it like the original SNL sketch.
