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.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Chas Mitchell (ChasM95) I watched this movie today and I'm very disappointed of how it turned out. My biggest gripe with this movie is the two main characters, Doug and Steve. I love Comedies of all types, even stupid Comedies like Old- School, Airheads and Hot Rod, but this is not the good kind of stupid. The two characters are such idiots, they deserve all the hate they got from their peers in this movie. Not to mention, they are the biggest creeps I have seen in a movie in a long time, flirting around with every woman they see, and they don't even freaking care. They just have no shame. I do sympathize with Will Ferrell's character a bit because he isn't as dumb as Chris Kattan's is, but they are still complete idiots that show no respect. I would have laughed a lot more at this movie if it hadn't been for those two characters. That killed it for me. I know it sounds very biased, but it's kind of hard not to sound like that when a movie is killed because of a couple of atrocious characters. I'd give it a 4/10.
FilmBuff1994 A Night at the Roxbury is a great movie with a well written storyline and an outstanding comedic cast. It's a really funny movie, I know there isn't much about it that makes it an excellent, unforgettable comedy, but I simply have so much fun whenever I watch it, it's really simple, the storyline is easy to follow and every scene is basically just a set up for some pure laughs between Ferrell and Kattan. It's certainly not a perfect movie and it has many flaws, the first hour of the movie barely has a story, and they're clearly trying their best to cram in a bit of a storyline in the last half hour, also some jokes were repeated much too often and others went further than necessary. The cast are certainly the movies highlight and if it wasn't for the fact that they all were clearly having a great time filming this and seemed interested, this movie would have been terrible, obviously the most praise must go to Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, but there are also some very funny and memorable performances from the likes of Richard Grieco, Dan Hedaya, Loni Anderson, Meredith Scott Lynn and, one of my favourite characters in this film, Lochlyn Munro. It's definitely not perfect, but if you find the two leads as likable as I do then you're sure to enjoy A Night at the Roxbury, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy. Two brothers, Doug and Steve Butabi, try to follow their dreams of starting their own night club, but this becomes an issue when they can't get in to the biggest one in town, the Roxbury. Best Performance: Will Ferrell Worst Performance: Gigi Rice
david-sarkies This is one of those movies which I saw an ad for and decided that I wanted to see it. My first impression was that it was about two guys in the vein of Bill and Ted. Afterwards I began to have second thoughts yet I still went along to see it. My final opinion of this movie is that it is good, and quite funny in parts. When the movie's gags stick in my mind then the comedy has succeeded.A Night at the Roxbury are about two brothers who cruise the nightclub circuit of Los Angeles looking for girls. Their dream is to own a night club, but they really are not all that cool. In fact they find themselves thrown out of more night clubs than let into them. Their jokes are funny to them but nobody else. In fact, they live in their own little world in which they want people to be apart of, but the serious people think they are pure donks. What ends up happening is that the owner of the Roxbury, the best nightclub in Los Angeles, actually likes them and wants to implement their ideas, yet his driver thinks him mad and does not like them.This is not the plot though. The main focus of the movie is their relationship with their father. Their father has great plans for them, but they don't want to pursue them. One of them is really unsure, and after they have a fight, he is easily taken away, forced to marry a woman that he really does not like, and to run a business he does not want to run.There is an interesting warning in the movie - don't jump on the woman that chases you around because you will discover that she is trying to mould you to what she wants you to be. I can think of a woman who is like that, and fortunately my friends managed to pull me away from her.I can't really think of any deep or meaningful thing to say about this movie, but that is not its point. A Night at the Roxbury is not a deep movie, it is a fun movie. It shows you that what normal people consider donks can succeed in their bizarre plans. It is interesting that they get their nightclub and become partners with the most prominent nightclub owner in the city. It gives us an idea of what the night life is like, but at this point in history it is something that we don't need to know. I still liked this movie though.
kylegrime A great film, enjoyable to watch and just has some memorable bits in and till this day it is still my favourite movie,but I really don't get how it has 6 out of 10, if you don't like comedy that much then don't watch this, because only huge comedy fans will notice that this film is one of the best of all time.it has what all comedy film needs which is lots of laughter, and I would say if you are a huge Will Ferrell fan then you will definitely enjoy this movie.so if you are just wanting a laugh then i highly recommend watching this film.
