This comedy extends and embellishes characters introduced on Saturday Night Live by regulars Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan in their sketch series of two head-bobbing losers who go on the town, looking for action, when they hear the What Is Love? disco tune.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    This movie is hilarious! Kattan and Ferrell make a brilliant team. Even though they look nothing like brothers, their relationship is believable, and very funny. All the actors in this are hilarious even in the smaller roles. It was hard to imagine that such a small SNL skit could… More

    I'm not gonna say it was bad.....but it sure as hell wasn't good

  • Chris W


    Silly, stupid, and not very much fun (or funny). I didn't much care for this when I first saw it, and my feelings haven't gotten better since then.
