My wife and I admittedly enjoyed this comedy, but caution must be adhered to the portrayed worldly selfish lifestyles that is not God-honoring. Director: John Fortenberry Stars: Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Raquel Gardner, Viveca Paulin.
NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY SKIT SNL MOVIE
The movie has a wonderful ending with loads of laughs. Two dim-witted brothers dream of owning their own dance club or at least getting into the coolest and most exclusive club in town, The Roxbury. In A Night at the Roxbury, Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan attempt to flesh out their. Richard Greico (as himself) makes several cameo appearances in which he finally convinces Hedaya to accept the Butabi brother’s dream of becoming what they want to be instead of being forced into a boring lifestyle of the family business. Club rejects from SNL skit cant get it on at the movies. The skits are best known for originating the 'Roxbury head-bop' to the Haddaway song 'What Is Love'. The movie tells about Doug and Steve Butabis journey as they get into the biggest and best nightclub in the city. Kattan saves Ferrell from making the biggest mistake of his life by hypnotizing Steve with the monotonously played Hadaway’s dancehouse music hit. A Night at the Roxbury is the 1998 movie spun off from the SNL skit starring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan. The movies breaks a 20-minute lull with a great wedding scene where Ferrell tries to hit on the bridesmaid with his ever-popular “Hey, what’s up” pick-up line. The 1998 movie expanded upon an SNL skit featuring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan as the Roxbury Guys, who try and be cool at clubs (theme song What Is Love). Their father accomplishes splitting the brothers apart and betrothing Steve to the girl-next-door (SNL’s Molly Shannon). Their mother (played by none other than Loni Anderson) takes on a more June Cleaver persona with nothing more to talk about than the plastic surgery to her chin. Hedaya is constantly downing Doug because of Doug’s lame fantasies of becoming a big club-owner one day. Their father (Dan Hedaya of “Cheers”) desires Steve (his favorite son) to run the family business-a small floral shop. The plot set forth in the movie has the two Butabi brothers trying to be successful entrepreneurs by setting up and owning their own nightclub that is by far more bizarre and alternative from any club ever established. “A Night at the Roxbury” is in the same league as “Dumb and Dumber”-two stupid men with weird personalities trying to be cool but getting slapped by offended females and entertaining the world with their stupidity. Inevitably they get thrown out of every club as a result of their bizarre behavior. They go into spontaneous dancelike convulsions when put into a clublike environment surrounded with half-naked women. The poor duo cannot maintain 5 minutes of calm dignity when exposed to beautiful women. The story line spins off from the SNL skit about 2 brothers trying to live life in the fast lane by picking up “hotties” (women), dressing in “suave” (cool) attire, and hitting up all of the nightclubs that they can. In my opinion, “A Night at the Roxbury” should have an “R” rating (rather than PG-13) due to the aforementioned material.
There were also many instances of profanity, crude language, and verbal obscenities. Sexual content includes several instances of implied casual sexual intercourse (unmarried couples), near nudity (thong bikini bathing suits, topless female with back to camera) and many numerous sexual innuendos. It has several scenes of partial exposures of the male and female anatomy as well as intentional sexual inuendos. A classic Saturday Night Live skit in which three brothers drive around New York City and fail miserably to pick up women. This movie is definitely not a family-night-out pic, however. Classic SNL Skit - What is Love/ Roxbury Guys. These guys do a great job portraying the ultimate epitomy of wanna-be-suave-losers. I had somewhat hopeful expectations for enjoying a good laugh at this movie which featured SNL’s Steve ( Will Ferrell) and Doug (Chris Kattan). “A Night at the Roxbury” takes stupid comic relief to yet another level with those crazy cast members of SNL in this humorous expansion of the famed weekly sketch.
Have you seen this film? We would love to see your review.Well, for all of you “Saturday Night Live” fans, this one may be for you.
I got my own copy for my birthday and I'm surprised it's not worn out by now, I've watched it so much :) It's only got one "bad" scene, but other than that it's pretty much PG. The movie has an awesome soundtrack (especially "What is Love" by Haddaway), and it's just a really good movie to watch. And I'm NOT telling you what happens in the movie, you gotta watch it yourself. It stars Will Ferrell & Chris Kattan (from Saturday Night Live, actually, it's based on an SNL skit) as the two main characters (Steve & Doug Butabi), who can't get into the coolest nightclub around, The Roxbury. Although many will say that it is stupid and not funny. SNL comedy based around the music of Haddaway's What Is Love.
