Read Time:1 Minute, 16 Second
A Night at the Roxbury is yet another in a long line of feature-length Saturday Night Live sketches. Sure, watching Doug and Steve Butabi (Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell) continuously strike out with every woman in every club in the country can bring in a few laughs when it lasts five minutes. But could it possibly be funny for ninety whole minutes?
Surprisingly enough, yes.
The two club kings (Are they brothers? No… Yes!) get sick of being rejected at every club in town, and they start planning to open their own club – where they’ll never get rejected. Following a run-in with Richard Grieco (he just didn’t want to get sued), the two of them get into the Roxbury and meet the owner, who’s interested in their suggestions.
But after Doug and Steve blame each other for losing their hottie girlfriends, they decide to go their separate ways. Doug moves into the guesthouse and tries to find a new clubbin’ partner. Steve begins a relationship with Emily Sanderson (Molly Shannon – who, in my eyes, what the low point of the movie).
But can something actually keep the two apart?
Something actually possessed me to go and see this one in the theater. And I loved it so much that I went out and bought my very own copy. Although it will most likely never be considered a classic, it’s a great brainless flick with an endless number of one-liners that are so stupid that they’re hilarious.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
