A Night at the Roxbury

Plot synopsis:
Wealthy Yemeni-American brothers Steve (Will Ferrell) and Doug Butabi (Chris Kattan) enjoy frequenting nightclubs, where they bob their heads in unison to Eurodance, a subgenre of dance music, and fail miserably at picking up women. Their goal is to party at the Roxbury, a fabled Los Angeles nightclub where they are continually denied entry by a hulking bouncer.
By day, the brothers work at an artificial plant store owned by their wealthy father, Kamehl. They spend most of their time goofing off, daydreaming about opening a club as cool as the Roxbury together, and Doug using credit card transactions as an excuse to flirt with a card approval associate via telephone that he calls "Credit Vixen." The store shares a wall with a lighting emporium owned by Fred Sanderson. Mr. Butabi and Mr. Sanderson hope that Steve and Emily, Sanderson's daughter, will marry, uniting the families and the businesses to form the first plant-lamp emporium.
After a day at the beach the brothers decide that night was to be the night they would finally get into the Roxbury. Returning home, Doug gets into a heated argument with their father about going out clubbing instead of staying home. Their father has planned a dinner party with Emily and her parents. The angered Mr. Butabi then refuses them access to their BMW car and their cell phones. They are given enormous cell phones by their mother, Barbara, and allowed use of the fake-plant store's delivery van, but they are immediately rejected once again by the doorman.
After discovering they might bribe their way into the club, the brothers drive around looking for an ATM. They get into a fender-bender with Richard Grieco and, to avoid a lawsuit, Grieco uses his fame to get them into the popular club. There, they meet the owner of the Roxbury, Benny Zadir, who listens to their idea for their own nightclub. He likes them and sets up a meeting with them for the next day. The brothers also meet a pair of women at the Roxbury: Vivica and Cambi, who see them talking to Zadir and think that the brothers are rich. The women later sleep with Doug and Steve, leading the brothers to think they are in "serious relationships."
On the way to the after-party at Mr. Zadir's house, the brothers annoy his driver and bodyguard Dooey by making him stop to buy fluffy whip and making jokes about sleeping with his parents. As revenge, the next day, Dooey refuses them entry into Zadir's office for their meeting. He tells the brothers that Zadir was drunk out of his mind last night and does not know who they are. In reality, Zadir wanted to see them, but does not have their contact information.
Vivica and Cambi break up with the Butabi brothers after realizing they are not actually wealthy. Afterwards, the brothers argue over who is at fault for their sudden misfortune and Doug moves out of their shared bedroom and into the guest house. Meanwhile, Steve is forced into an engagement with Emily by his father. The wedding is held in the backyard of the Butabi residence, but is interrupted by Doug. Having gone on a fluffy whip-fueled bender, he interrupts the wedding, reconciles with his brother, and the wedding is called off, only to be restarted as Craig, the Butabi brothers' personal trainer, reveals his feelings for Emily. Afterwards, Grieco (a guest at the wedding) talks to Mr. Butabi to help him understand that Steve was not ready for marriage, and that Butabi is too hard on Doug.
After the Butabi brothers reconcile with their father and Doug moves back into their bedroom, the film ends as the brothers happen upon a hot new club. The building is unique in that the exterior is constructed to resemble the interior of a nightclub, and the interior resembles a street—this was an idea pitched by Doug and Steve to Zadir earlier in the film. Attempting to enter, they are surprised to find their names already on the VIP list. In addition, Zadir reveals that to reward their idea, he has made them part-owners of the club. Their new-found success comes full circle when they meet two women in the club: Doug's phone operator from the credit card company ("Credit Vixen") and a police officer with whom Steve flirted while getting a ticket.

Review:
oh man,what a movie!By far the best of SNL movies and one of the best comedies ever..Will Ferrell & Chris Kattan have managed to outclass their tv show performances with this unique and hilariously entertaining movie.Soundtrack is also first class,making you want to go clubbing everytime you see this movie.If you want to see a funny movie,forget everything else.get "night at the roxbury".You just wish it would never end.
This movie is full of great innuendos to disco chicks ("Is this your first time?"), to stupid and bored upper class people ("Do you like my new chin?
Even after watching it the 3rd or 4th time you still can discover some new hints and gags.It's a funny movie but certainly not dumb!Emilioooooh!.
If you are ready to laugh your head off then grab a bunch of friends and watch this movie together.Doug and Steve Butabi come out with the funniest sayings that you'll be repeating with your friends for a long time.
When i'm in need of a good laugh this is the movie i watch.
This has got to be one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, Steve and Doug Butabi make the movie very entertaining as they constantly bop their heads to the song "What is love" by Haddaway.
Not only is A Night At The Roxbury a damn good movie it also has a killer dance soundtrack, one of the best I have ever heard with Haddaway, Faithless, N-trance, Brainbug and many more good artists..
Yesterday, I watched "A Night at the Roxbury" for the first time and I absolutely loved it!
I would definitely recommend this movie for a good laugh for anyone, even critical friends.
If you like to watch good and funny movies then watch this one a night at the roxberry it's a real good movie trust me you want to know why well then I'll tell you because it's funny, it has some sad parts in it and it has parts in it when you just have to laugh so hard that it's stupid.
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.
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?
when steve butabi (will ferrell) and doug butabi (chris kattan)relize that they cant get into the roxbury there bumbed,but the inoying emily sanderson (molly shannon) trys to get steve to forget about it so he will go out with her.

There complete idiotic actions make this movie a great film to just sit and down and watch with some friends..
Also, much better  than the similar "Dumb and Dumber"...and not a fart gag in sight In it's naive, good-natured way , it was more like "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" or "Wayne's World"  but out of all these films , "Roxbury" is my new favourite..
I can't believe so many people don't like this movie, it's a great comedy, much better than horrible flicks like Dude where's my car, and Saving Silverman.
I loved this movie incredibly the first time I saw it because it seemed to be the story of my relationship with my own sister embodied in a film.
It's almost strange to find yourself watching these two younger men and their rich but meandering lifestyle and think "Man, I wish I could do that!" Overall, I'd say this movie is guaranteed to make you laugh IF your comedy preferences are not too strict.
I'd suggest this movie to anyone looking for a good Will Farrell/Chris Kattan movie, especially if you have your own brother or sister to relate it to..
When this movie hit the screens in the summer of 1998 (or was it 99 in Turkey - anyways), no one knew what it was in Turkey and a very few people went and saw it, I was one of the more fortunate ones to have done so, and i did this twice!!Yes, i laughed my head off..
Please people, understand that this movie was not made to get Oscars, or Grammys, it was made for the people entertainment, so don't go off giving that crap about "i dont like will ferrell or chris kattan so it sucked" cause if you don't like them, DONT WATCH THE MOVIE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
I think it is a great comedy, and sure it's not for the whole family, in fact, I'd only recommend it to people who enjoy the stupid comedy on Saturday Night Live.The movie basically goes like this - Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) are brothers that try to get into the town's best night club, the Roxbury.
Well the first time i saw this film it kind of reminded me of how me and my friend used to joke around and it really made me feel dumb about myself cause something i would act dumb like that too.
The music in this film is probably the best music in any film to me because i love trance and house music so this was a good movie to watch.
To be honest, I didn't think it was all that funny the first time I saw it, but much like the movie Austin Powers, it really grows on you after repeated viewing.
One of the funniest things about this movie was how Doug (Kattan) and Steve (Ferrell) act so dumb.
On the other hand I wasn't "clubbing" to blues in 1980 and doesn't like heavy metal from the 80s.A Night At The Roxbury is a very funny movie with great music for the ones that wasn't sitting at home in the weekends during the 90s :).
I recommend this movie to who ever likes SNL and is looking for a good laugh..
This movie is way cool......there was nothing wrong with it as far as i can see.....songs went well with it also....best part i like is when they were getting it on for the first time and Steve was doing the ambulance noise...lmao.....so let Imdb know how you feel about this movie and others also....
If, one night, you feel like watching a movie where you can just check your brain at the door, sit back and laugh your head off while watching this movie.
this film is one of those comedies that just hit you in the face with how stupid people can be, and in effect make us laugh.
I have actually met people like those in the film, and it adds to the laugh.Watch it and enjoy, though it may be old, most new comedies are rubbish like " BRUUCE_ALMIGHTY " never liked it..
It will have you in stitches as you recall your own memories of clubbing - whether you used to be a "dag" yourself (go on, you're a big boy now - you can admit it) or you cringed whenever you witnessed the least likely guys try to pick up the most stunning girls in the club.And the excellent music score can't help but create a feeling of nostalgia and longing for those carefree clubbing years.Sure, not everybody that grew up in the 90s was into clubbing (probably more like boot scooting or bowling) and probably these people will be totally perplexed by the humour of this film.It's a cult film, no doubt about it, and I love it..
this is a classic Ferrell movie super funny he even plays a not exactly smart guy like most of his good roles everyone who acted in this movie was funny.
i just loved this movie think I've seen it about 70 times.
Steve and Doug Butabi man were just egg salad and i usually don't like Chris Kattan movies but i really enjoyed this one it was some funny stuff very memorable quotes.i could go on about this movie but i really don't want to cause its to late and I'm trying to fill those 10 lines funny funny funny thats pretty much all u can say bout' this movie it had a good story line too the plot was good and the ending is a classic man classic..
The two brothers have no idea whatsoever and constantly make fools out of themselves although they think they're the coolest people on the planet.The story isn't to much to care about, it's the situations that arise wherever the two brothers show up that makes the movie worth watching.A comparison with Dumb & Dumber isn't all wrong but 'A night at the Roxbury' isn't as childish as that one, the brothers aren't really that stupid, just clueless..
I am going to try and rent it right now as a matter of fact!If you are in a good mood and you don't like to criticize things all the time, then this is the perfect movie to rent!.
The movie has a great soundtrack and if you like to see watch a movie with guaranteed laugh pleasure see this one!.
A great movie to watch on any occasion: with a group of friends at a party, with your significant other or if you're merely feeling down in the dumps and need a good laugh..
Watch it you won't regret it.When i first saw the title i thought it is garbage i check it here its 5.0 out of 10.I thought it is not worthy but when i watch it i had a different idea of how movies are made.This is the comedy that can express all of what others can not.The story of two brothers who aren't very smart and try to get to the best club in town is a great adaptation.It broke all the clichés.Well thanks for your attention Good bye...A and did i mentioned that this is the best movie of all time!?.
You can only take so much of these idiot Butabi brothers, played by Will Ferrell and Chris Kataan.This gets a little sappy at the end when the brothers feud, but overall it's a pretty good lightweight comedy with a good share of laughs..
Based on an old SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE skit, A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY stars Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan as brothers Steve and Doug Butabi.
Although the plot runs very, very thin and is not backed up by a very strong supporting cast, it is a very funny movie, and is great to watch over and over..
Usually movies made by Saturday Night Live are really funny and they do well in the box offices.
It's a great party movie, or just if you want a good laugh.I give it a 9 out of 10..
This movie is about a two brothers who are trying to get into a club called "The Roxbury".
It's fun for people who were of age during the 80s, and my nearly 16 year old daughter and her intellectual friends love it, though it's annoying to watch it with them because they've memorized all the lines.Some people have complained that the movie has no plot, but it does have a plot, and it even has an arc to the story line, actually multiple arcs to multiple story lines, which is why the end of the movie is so satisfying, because each of several conflicts is resolved in the last ten minutes.This is an excellent film, entertaining throughout.
A Night at the Roxbury is no Blues Brothers, but there are still more than a few laughs in it.I like this film.
Chris Kattan and Will Ferrel are hilarious as the Butabi brothers who try too hard to be cool, and always fail to get into the best clubs.
I find those guys from Saterday Night Live really funny, but, they talk about dirty stuff too much and that ruined the movie since I was with my Mom when I watched it.
Night at the Roxbury is a simple, stupid, yet very funny comedy.
This is a must see comedy for anyone who wants to laugh a bit, and if you like any of other Will's movies, you will very much enjoy this one as well..
This could just be because I like Saturday Night Live, or because I like Will Ferrell, but I have to say that this is a really great movie.
(But Roxbury is the best that is eligible for a movie).So, in closing, I'm gonna say that A Night at the Roxbury is great if you have a good weekend.
Doug and Steve were both so dumb, you couldn't help but laugh at everything they did.This is one of those movies that will definitely put you in a great mood, no matter how bad your day is.
I think that anyone with a sense of humor or good taste in movies would appreciate this film!.
If you've never heard of the Roxbury Guys before, and/or you do not currently believe that Chris Kattan and Will Ferrel are two of the most brilliant comedians SNL has seen in the last 3-4 years, this movie is probably not for you.Personally, I enjoyed it tremendously and cannot WAIT to see it again!Favorite Line:  "My dad already paid for the caterer.".
I came into this movie knowing it wasn't going to be a classic, but I knew there would be lots of good laughs, and there were.
a great movie for all you Saturday Night Live fans..
Any Saturday Night Live fan will love this movie.
Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell are extremely funny in this movie.
True the story line is not the best but any Saturday Night Live fan can see the true meaning of the film and that is Doug and Steve Butabi!
Many of you will recognize Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan from the saturday night live show,and they are as you all know really really crazy and hilarious.
And like Saturday night live,they also show their funny side in this movie.They are so stupid and funny that you are going to laugh your tongue out.This movie features also one of the best sound tracks ever,there are so much 80's dance music there,and it all goes excellent with the movie.
The movie is about 2 people one being Steve Butabi(Will Ferrell) and Doug Butabi(Chris Katten) are two men who's life dream is to get in to the Roxbury and get some ideas to make their own nightclub.
Like "Dude, Where's My Car?", it shows that movies can be stupid and funny at the same time..
He and Chris Kattan play slacker brothers Steve and Doug Butabi, trying to get into a club.
It is a movie about two brothers Doug(Kattan) and Steve(Ferrell) Butabi who are always trying to get into the perfect nightclub, The Roxbury.
Even I know this film should not be classed as a 'good movie'.
It's a really funny movie, I know there isn't much about it that makes it an excellent, unforgettable comedy, but I simply have so much fun whenever I watch it, it's really simple, the storyline is easy to follow and every scene is basically just a set up for some pure laughs between Ferrell and Kattan.
It's definitely not perfect, but if you find the two leads as likable as I do then you're sure to enjoy A Night at the Roxbury, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy.
Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are embarrassingly good as loser, poser brothers Steve & Doug.
Every single person was doing a really good job with their respective roles, making the movie work so very well.If you like comedies, then you definitely have to check this out.
