    An absolute cult classic

    I completely understand why someone would not care for this movie. In addition to the whole 90's "club" environment (which many people may not be able to relate to), it's silly as hell. But I must say, in my opinion, A Night at the Roxbury deserves legendary status as a comedy. 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. I've seen it at nearly 20 times and I'm still not sick of it. I know at least a dozen people - friends and family members - who absolutely LOVE this movie, and I run into people all the time who say they love it as well. Okay, it may have initially tanked at the box office, but SURELY A Night at the Roxbury has accumulated enough profit through VHS and DVD sales to warrant a sequel. To the studio: please, for the love of god, MAKE A SEQUEL!!!

    one of my top 10 comedies of all time

    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.. Once with my best pal, and the next day with my brother.

    It is one of those movies which keeps that stupid smile on your face all through the movie. The Butabi brothers and their relationships with the whole world and their fascination for clubs, women and EMILIOOOO! is a must see for everyone who likes a good laugh.

    I can't get the scene where the brothers are loading the flowers into the van. Some really funny stuff.

    I bought this on video and have watched it dozens of times and it never gets old. Definitely recommend it...

    Funny Stuff

    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. I really thought this movie was funny in my point of view. 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. In the movie Steve and Doug dont even look like brothers but they sure act like it. I love how they do slow moving shots. makes you laugh and wanna watch at the same time wondering what is going to happen. One of the best parts of this movie are the lines, like did you grass my butt, or you outta town you new, aiight. There are plenty of them in the movie and i even use them in everyday life cause its just funny. This movie should be ranked higher in the imdb. In my opinion i give it a 10 rating.

    Funny movie!

    This movie was better than I expected! These two are such dorks, but that is what's funny! The outfits, the attitude, the car are all part of the comedy too. Best part: "Is that a mirror in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants." Also the spoof of Jerry Maguire is great too. Watch if you are in the mood for a good comedy with funny humor.

    • Trivia
      According to Chris Kattan, after completing the film, Will Ferrell didn't speak to Kattan again until the 23rd season of Saturday Night Live due to an on set relationship between Kattan and producer Amy Heckerling having upset Ferrell. Kattan alleged that Ferrell had said "so, I got all your messages, but I didn't call you back because I didn't want to talk to you." The production of this film caused the end of their friendship, which had started when they were both members of the Groundlings. They worked together on SNL until Ferrell left at the end of season 27, but have never collaborated on anything since then.
    • Goofs
