tempe mills cinema ,

this movie had us in non - stop stitches from beginning to end .
all those promotional clips that have been on tv for the past month came from the first five minutes of the movie .
if you thought they were funny , see the rest of the movie .
it 's hilarious .
how does one go about making a movie about a couple guys whose only claim to fame is synchronized head - bopping on snl to exactly one song ?
easy .
write an interesting script around tried - and - true ideas , add some good lines and satire , and voil ?
, you end up with an excellent , well - done , very entertaining flick .
will and chris are idiot brothers forced by their father to work begrudgingly in the family flower business during the day .
at night they pursue their life - long ambition to loose their virginity in failed attempts to get into the roxbury in beverly hills , ca , the only disco act worth going to .
the only problem , the place is so popular and the waiting line so long that by the time the brothers make it to the front door , the roxbury closes , all the while bearing witness to guys with one - hundred - dollar bills and movie stars like richard grieco who get past the doorman without fuss .
the script authors ( steve koren , will ferrell and chris kattan ) cleverly devised a way for our boys to get into the roxbury .
their flower - shop van is rear - ended by richard grieco , who fears a law - suit and is surprised to see the idiots are too star - struck to think about the car accident they just had , but not about getting into the roxbury .
grieco happily takes them in , even introduces them to the owner , which has the added benefit of enhancing the financial appearance of the idiot brothers in the eyes of a couple of gold diggers ( elisa donovan and gigi rice ) who bet their time and bodies on will and chris .
what follows are some of the best slap - stick dancing routines ever .
the music is superb , and could have only been made better had the producers added patrick hernandez 's born to be alive .
the choreography at times was a parody of an era gone by , for example , the bee gees and their stayin ' alive .
it is nostalgic for those of us who remember that far back , and the technique is a clever adaptation that worked well in forest gump .
one of the funniest scenes is when the gold diggers discover that will and chris do n't have any mone y , and dump both on the spot , even expressing violence and anger that they gave sex away .
an art - imitates - life poke at shallow women .
it 's a scene that 's an approximate parody of the vinegar 's own rolf luedeke 's editorial this week
national organization for men ( nom ) replaces now .
ted " unabomber " kaczynski , himself rejected for not having money , will identify well with this scene , if he ever watches the movie .
of course , the script would n't be complicated enough without adding molly shannon , the girl next door who has had a crush on will since they were kids , and who will has had an aversion to in quest of good - looking disco blondes ( proof that men will turn down perfectly good women when there are bay watch babes always lurking nearby ) .
nevertheless , will 's father wants him to marry molly anyway , but thinks idiot chris is standing in the way and sends him into guest - quarter exile .
during the wedding ceremony , will 's heart is n't exactly into getting married , and when his brother appears on the balcony with a ghetto blaster and more head - bopping music , will thinks worse of the knot - tieing idea and runs to chris .
definitely an snl parody of the graduate where katharine ross changed her mind for the screaming dustin hoffman in the church balcony .
i found this scene a riot , however , it went over brandi 's head -- she was born seven years after the graduate first appeared .
the scene has a good punch line when molly shannon marries , instead , the step - in buddy / weight - lifter ( who looks like he could pass for the son of gary busy ) and who has been lusting for a good - looker for a long time , but ready now to take anyone .
more art - imitates - life stuff -- not even muscles can substitute for money in the real world .
the idiots ' mother is played by loni anderson , whose barbie - doll looks do n't play well anymore
( she 's a bit old ) , and whose cleavage looks like someone botched a tracheotomy too low down .
i recommend this movie for anyone who wants to have a lot of fun or in need of a lot of laughs
.
go with a date .
brandi laughed non - stop , as i did , and a deaf - mute might have concluded i was tickling her continuously for 105 minutes .
the music is superb had us in non - stop stitches from beginning to end a clever adaptation an excellent , well - done , very entertaining flick it 's hilarious one of the funniest scenes some of the best slap - stick dancing routines ever a good punch line i recommend this movie for anyone who wants to have a lot of fun or in need of a lot of laughs
