Roxbury Rocks: Apathy stems from ennui

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 1999)

Roxbury succeeds at more than one level, and for the generation
of Americans that currently suffer from a general social malaise
and ennui, this movie will definitely hit at all levels. Kattan
sculpts his character with fervor, leaving the heavy hitting
Ferrel no chance for a bust. While some scenes may be so
ludicrous as the question the value of the celluloid it is
printed on, the movie only asks from the viewer that they
attempt to relate to the brothers. A dash of physical comedy
thanks to Kattan's physical flexibility allows this movie to
move beyond the normal tried and true character building--and it
ain't scared to risk all the marbles. No halfway sell out of a
movie. This is SNL at it's best, second only to Wayne's World 1.
The subtle acts, dominated in this movie by Kattan, is what
really makes this film rewardin
