Review Summary and Plot Commentary about A Night at the Roxbury
Chris Kattan and Will Farrell play 2 brothers who work in their Dad's flower shop. They love to go to clubs and are always trying to get into the Roxbury. One night they finally get in in an odd situsation and tell the owner about an idea they have for their very own club. They go through some interesting situations to get their club going.

The Butabi brothers are two eccentric and bad dancers and have an idea about their own night club. In order to get their idea into the open they must speak with the owner of a night club, the Roxbury that is impossible to get in (the line is blocks long). As Richard Grieco has an accident with Steve and Doug Butabi (Butabi brothers) the only way he knows how to repay them is to give them access into the Roxbury. As Grieco introduces them to the owner (Mr. Zadir) The Butabi bro's feel like they are obliged to tell Mr. Zadir their brilliant idea, but first they must dance. Two hot broads see the B'bro's talking to the owner and assume that they are VIP's (obviously they are not). Well I'm not going to tell you the whole movie so here is my critique.
This movie is stupidly hilarious with tons of Will Ferril, and Chris Kattan jokes. It also has a lot of cheap sappy moments (these are also funny). There are also tons of debues by actors you might know from the 1998 SNL crew cause after all it is a Lorne Michels film. Ha Ha Ha!
