Waste of time

The Worst Film Ever

Just perfect...

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Don't get me wrong, the playlist songs of the 1990's were so awesome in which I'm really glad whoever added them into this movie. But I just think the movie would've been better if they made Molly Shannon's character dress more disco then actually dressing up as a brunette Polly Pocket doll. It just doesn't suit her as an actress to play a girly girl in my opinion.With Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan, the only times they were hilarious enough was when they were dancing like goof-balls and trying to impress the ladies with their moves. However, I think their jokes weren't so funny really, it was like trying to think the joke then laughing at the joke straight away. I suppose this was before Will Ferrell became famous during his time in SNL.If you feel like dancing and don't bother with the comedy, I say just go for this!

I would like to start by saying I absolutely loved this movie. This is one of my all time favourite comedy movies.This isn't exactly Oscar Wilde humour. It is run in the mill cheap but absolutely adorable humour. Will Ferell and Kris Kattan are so funny as the brothers Doug and Steve Butabi and try all you want to not laugh, you will end up splitting your guts with laughter.Richard Greiko has some a little but very important role to play and he does well, really well.I watched this movie with some good friends, some good pop corn and a couple of beers over a weekend and we all laughed so hard. This is quite the rib tickler.My rating 7/10. Must Watch !!

This movie was funny as hell! I was laughing hard throughout most of the movie.Well, lets get down to business shall we? The story in the movie was pretty straight forward, easy to follow and quite catchy. Lots of funny moments and you easily got immersed in the characters portrayed in the movie.As for the cast, well... They were simple amazing. Lots of talented (and funny) faces on the screen. 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. It is one of Will Ferrell's better movies, or at least I think so.

On 31/8/2001 I rented it. Its commercial title in Egypt stood for "An evening that will drive you crazy". Frankly, the reason to rent it in specific was a photo I saw from it earlier, in a magazine named (DVD), where 2 chicks by the names of (Elisa Donovan) and (Gigi Rice) were dancing in tight micro-skirts; which was pretty sexy for me (more than the 2 girls themselves), plus I thought that the movie is a crazy dance movie! Of course I wasn't right. But this movie wasn't that wrong either. I like it. And I have my reasons..Here's what I wrote in my remark page right after finishing it : "So the rich dumb guys became the heroes of today's movies? Huh ?!" too philosophical I think ! However, among the movies that I rented in that summer, it wasn't bad at all. In that list there were: Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Who am I, Space Cowboys, The Replacements, Pret-a-Porter, and The Perfect Storm (Yes, I list the names of the movies I watch!).From a *disco* point of view you must love it. Since (Can't Stop the Music – 1980), the presence of the disco clubs in the movies became obnoxious. However suddenly in 1998, (A Night at the Roxbury), (Forever Fever), (The Last Days of Disco) and the real obnoxious (54) came together with disco clubs playing big part in them one way or another. It makes me happy to see hot girls dancing on colorful floor anything but Hip-Hop. Did I forget to tell you that I'm a Can't Stop the Music's fan?!In the buddy movie history, there was always the serious rational, kind of smart guy (Mickey Mouse, Oliver Hardy, Dean Martin) and the funny nut job, purely stupid one (Goofy Goof, Stan Laurel, Jerry Lewis). Where normally the first got the best of luck with the girls. But after the success of (Dumb & Dumber – 1994) both of the dual became nut job, purely stupid, guys who got no chance with any sane girl! The producers clearly loved the idea, so (Dude, Where's My Car – 2000), (Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd – 2003), (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle – 2004) were made. (A Night at the Roxbury) is no exception (remember the Jim Carry's reference), but it's more mild and innocent than most of this wave of followers.After years of the first viewing, I caught it on some channel to re-watch it again. But oh boy, with a second viewing or not; I loved moments like (Will Ferrell)'s spasm of "What's up ?!", the perfectly goofy dance, the meeting between the 2 brothers after seconds of losing their virginity to discuss about it, and the lousy (Emilio Estevez) story that turns the girls off; OK, everyone of us sure had one!(Chazz Palminteri) is one scene stealer in here. He's double the charisma of every lead. And the "did you grab my ***" was a clever one. It's something to remember this movie with. Save (Ferrell)'s so deliberate white make-up, the 2 leads looked nice and worked together finely, giving a natural performance with no forced moments, being totally these radiantly dressy, visionary, 30-year-old adolescent misfits. It's sorrowful that (Ferrell)'s career came off later, while (Chris Kattan) didn't achieve anything equal. Despite his obvious talent, I didn't watch him in good movies, rather movies, after this !By the way, this is the best movie Mr. Unbearable, the Horrible Movies' God, aka Richard Grieco, has ever been in, spoofing himself and playing kind of a mentor. Watching him saying wise lines was the weirdest comedy this movie got! I think he was brought because at one "old" point he used to be for the 90s's twenty-something youth, so the movie's leads, including the movie-makers maybe—an idol. And not anyone, he's a one that got lost. Or in another word, the one who the losers love, feeling lucky and successful compared to him. That's a little of bad tasting. But it's this movie's way to honor the 1980s while sneering at it too.Wanna know the truth : (A Night at the Roxbury) isn't an evening to drive you crazy, yet it's well goofy Hollywood comedy to rent in any night. It's diverting 90 minutes. A lot of smiles but not laughs. And the best about it is its ruling childish sense. True that the end was very easy, but that's usual in a light joke of a movie like this, where the word "Hollywood" means "Feel Good" mood or dreamy optimistic time, to soothe the remains of the day a bit. And thank god that it didn't lean to ugly jokes or scenes intensely, having a story about 2 brothers who back up each other's ugliness and dumbness; this is part of the reason why (ANATR) isn't an easily forgettable stuff. One last reason for liking this movie : with Haddaway's What Is Love, No Mercy's Where Do You Go, Ace of Base's Beautiful Life and more; the soundtrack is a terrific piece of nostalgia for the 1990s if you were a regular dancer in that era's nightclubs, or just someone used to listen A LOT to the radio back then!
