One of the less commendable attempts is undoubtedly A Night at the Roxbury starring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan as the club-hopping, head-nodding losers who are always trying to dance with hot ladies with zero success. Why It's Essential Viewing: Movies based on Saturday Night Live sketches are rather difficult to pull off simply because it's hard to expand a premise for a sketch that lasts only a few minutes into a full-fledged feature film. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, and resolve to open a club of their own.

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. Yes there are some gags which will make you smile once in a while but as a whole it tires out its humour pretty quickly.(Welcome to The Quarantine Stream, a new series where the /Film team shares what they've been watching while social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.) The Movie: A Night at the Roxbury Where You Can Stream It: Amazon Prime Video and Hulu The Pitch: 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).

It is simply a case that when we fist meet Steve and Doug their stupidity and sense of coolness is amusing but within 15 minutes the joke has grown old and repetitive. That is how 'A Night at the Roxbury' came across for me and it isn't a huge surprise either as this is how so many of Will Ferrell's movies have ended up for me. After achieving the first dream the two of them come to the attention of friends Vivacia ( Gigi Rice) and her friend Cambi ( Elisa Donovan) who plan to dupe the brothers out of their money but are unaware they have none.įunnier than I expected, actually this is pretty dumb, now I'm bored oh look it's so and so. Steve ( Will Ferrell) and Doug Butabi ( Chris Kattan) are many things from thinking they are players to sharing the same dream of not only getting into the coolest club, The Roxbury, but owning a cool club of their own.
