    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, t...( read more)he 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.

    Doug (Chris Kattan, Corky Romano) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell, Zoolander) are slackers with semi-ambitious dreams. They want to get into the Roxbury nightclub, open their own nightclub, and get girlfriends. Unfortunately, they are too socially inept and dumb to accomplish any ...( read more)of these goals. Instead, they have to deal with the wrath of their perpetually exasperated father, Kamehl Butabi (Dan Hedaya, Commando), owner of a fake plant store. He wants his sons to work at the shop and grow up. Also, he wants Steve to marry Emily Sanderson (Molly Shannon, American Splendor), daughter of the owner of the lamp store next door, so the businesses can merge. Kattan and Ferrell have great comedic timing together. The fact they are, and look, far older than their characters are supposed to be makes it even better. The time is now, enjoy it now. It's humor is in it's simplicity; It doesn't reach for a laugh, it just places it on the table for you to take what you will, the more you want to absorb, the more you'll laugh.

    Chris Kattan had most of the prominence in this movie more than Will Ferrell, but look who had the better career. Good "nothing-to-it" movie.

    Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are hilarious as the two club scene brothers that are so dorky. I think this is so funny to watch.

    Do not get me wrong this is not a big screen life changing film but it is certainly a movie that will make you laugh out loud. I loved these cahrac...( read more)ters; Steve and Doug from SNL.....good memories from when I was in high school...the music will bring back both good and crazy memories for many.

    Really funny and nice but the characters of Chris and Will are very lame,especially their jokes, however the story is good and I like clubs more now, especially Roxbury lol.

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 ... full review

Let's look at the bright side. America is still the land of opportunity if Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan can make a movie. full review

    This is the best movie ever. When I have had a bad day, I just put in the dvd and it always makes me laugh. Me and my friends watch this movie more than anything else.

    This was probobly one of my favourite movies in the world. If Will Ferell wasn't in this movie then it would be nothing. Along with his other movies like Taladaga Nights.
