A Night at the Roxbury Mr. Cranky's rating:
With all the success of "It'sPat," "A Night at the Roxbury" takes a one-joke sketch and attempts to turn it into a ninety minute film. Although there's lots of comedy leading up to this film, there's none actually in it. The movie is based on a sketch on Saturday Night Live that usually lasts about a minute and few of the characters ever say anything. These two dumb-looking guys, the Butabi brothers, bob their heads to music. With all the success of "It's Pat," "A Night at the Roxbury" takes a one-joke sketch and attempts to turn it into a ninety minute film. Among the most amazing things about the movie is that it took three guys to write the screenplay. Both Will Ferrell (Doug Butabi) and Chris Kattan (Steve Butabi) participated along with Steve Koren, bolstering my belief in the theory that one day a species of ape will indeed pen a film script and get it produced in Hollywood. If you want to know how bad this film is, just watch the actors. Dan Hedaya, who's usually hired based on the need for a guy with back hair, walks through the film like he's trying to pass a kidney stone. Then there's Richard Grieco, who plays himself, and looks bloated and disgusting and like he's just made the worst career decision of his life -- and he doesn't even have a career. Imagine making a movie that's so bad that people actually wonder what Richard Grieco was thinking when he agreed to be in it.
Was it really that bad?
