A must-see

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2002)

This is one of those movies that you never bother to check out because you didn't hear good things about it, and then one day someone close rents it and you end up loving it. Note: I've never seen the SNL sketches, I never watch it because I think its terribly unfunny, so I didn't watch Roxbury with prejudice or bias.
What I love the most about it is that its a comedy for all ages. This is something that you can watch with your kids or family and not be grossed out and embarassed by all the dick and fart humour, or the cruel humour. While the characters are silly, and you do laugh AT them, you can't help but like them. They are loveable in their own stupid way, but that doesn't pigeon-hole the movie into predictable physical gags like Dumb and Dumber or what-have-you. The dialogue and characters is what actually carries the movie, and it does a great job for the most part. The Jerry McGuire spoof ending is absolutely hysterical and that alone is worth the price of the rent. But you also have the wonderful music, every single track that plays was a great hit in its day.
I'm a video rental store clerk and I put this movie on the main TVs once a night...it's in my very small circle of movies that contain good enough dialogue to be enjoyed at any given moment, alongside the likes of Big Lebowski and Pulp Fiction, though not quite at their level.
A mere 4.9/10 rating? I suppose it needed more pie-****ing and swearing to please the IMDB audience?
