Yeh! Another SNL Skit Turned into a Lousy Movie

Rating: 4/10 (11 October 1999)

I am so glad I didn't pay $9.50 to see this garbage (love those NYC movie prices). The premise is interesting at first glance: two losers who live at home dream of nightclub glory. One problem though, I have seen this a million times. It is bad enough that the Butabi brother's skit is on almost every other SNL these days, but it is a knock-off of the Wild and Crazy Guys characters Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd used to do. If that isn't bad enough, there is no real story to frame the hit and miss jokes around. The guys who play the Butabi brothers are okay but for me this played like a boring Wayne's World knockoff. Now I can't wait a year for Superstar to show up on cable because I'm sure it's much better (not!). Hey Lorne (Michaels) can't wait for that Goatboy and the preppy cheerleaders movie.
