As Bad As You Would Expect

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2015)

Two dim-witted brothers dream of owning their own dance club or at least getting into the coolest and most exclusive club in town, The Roxbury.
Roger Ebert observed that "the sad thing about A Night at the Roxbury is that the characters are in a one-joke movie, and they're the joke... It's the first comedy I've attended where you feel that to laugh would be cruel to the characters." That may be a big harsh, but it is not at all wrong. As many have commented, when you take a skit that is funny for a minute or two and try to flesh it out, it rarely works. (Besides "Wayne's World", few SNL skits really have a life of their own.) Apparently the film has a cult following. I am not sure why. I cannot say I regret watching it, but I also cannot say I feel the need to ever see it again.
