Feeling more like the ugly step cousin to "Wayne's World" and its goofy characters that also originated on "SNL," this film was bad enough to inspire/force many people in our audience to get up and leave the theater long before the conclusion - something I haven't seen in quite a while. ![]() Unfortunately, there's not much more to the movie, and the supplementary plot and dialogue that exist are substandard even for a film like this. The only real fun of the recurring TV sketch is watching the guest stars (such as Jim Carrey, Alec Baldwin and others) join the two losers in their pathetically funny behavior, as they pump their heads in unison, confusedly point to themselves and each other trying to figure which of them another person's referring to, and then bouncing that person back and forth between them. While the pumping, toe-tapping rhythms of the main song, "What Is Love?" can inspire nearly anyone to bob their head in unison to the beat, the original skit is pretty threadbare beyond that. The problem is, however, when compared to the skits that were successful, there's practically nothing here with which to work from the original. For every "Blues Brothers" and "Wayne's World," there's "It's Pat" and "Stuart Saves His Family," so it should come as no surprise that the filmmakers and Paramount Studios are willing to hedge their bets on the film's apparent 50/50 chances. OUR TAKE: 2 out of 10 Proving once again that it's difficult to transform a three or four-minute skit into a feature length film, "A Night at the Roxbury" is sporadically funny at best, but mightily strains to fill its brief eighty minute runtime.īased on a currently running, and somewhat humorous skit on TV's "Saturday Night Live," this film follows in a long line of skits that have landed with varying results as feature movies. GIGI RICE and ELISA DONOVAN play two women who pursue and sleep with the brothers because they think they're rich.They hit on women and wildly and suggestively dance with them. ![]()
