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

A Night at the Roxbury

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Has the same problems as the worst SNL movies: one-note characters and plots unreasonably stretched to feature length runtime.

The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o.

An amiable, if flyweight, diversion.

…the whole package feels like it’s been in a retro time-capsule yet still comes up box fresh. Sure, it’s a silly, lightweight film that plays like the extended SNL sketch that it is, but who cares? Sometimes a little light relief is in order…

Rated: 3/5

...a barely-passable SNL comedy that certainly could've fared a whole lot worse.

Brian J This movie was the backbone of my high school days with lots of go to quotes. It's got a great original story line, Chris Kattan makes this movie soundtrack one of the best. It's one of my top favs. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Greg L This is such a fun movie. Yes, it is idiotic but also very entertaining. Don't care what the critics say. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Kendel S I can watch this movie 1000 times and never get tired of it! Love it! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review R 9 One to file under: 'Better than it had any right to be'.For the most part whilst watching, I felt quite nonplussed by everything about 'A Night at the Roxbury' - it was neither pleasing or annoying me. By its conclusion, however, I actually felt like I enjoyed it. I feel like I should've disliked it, but the opposite is more true to be honest.Some of the humour lands, some of it doesn't - those dancing head nods, for example, are amusing, but the film seriously overuses it. I assume that's a carryover from the 'Saturday Night Live' sketch that this is based upon. Haddaway's 'What Is Love' is also overplayed throughout, though with that I actually felt the use was fitting - the music overall is good, to be fair.Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan make for a positive pairing, with Ferrell narrowly being the standout of the two - as you'd expect, I guess. Molly Shannon does well, as do Dan Hedaya and Richard Grieco. There are also a few interesting minor cast members, from Michael Clarke Duncan to Eva Mendes to Jennifer Coolidge.Just about 7/10, but 7/10 all the same. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Maxim Z Hilarious, Will Ferrel in his prime, feel good movie all the way. What is love?
