DVD Reviews of A Night At the Roxbury (Special Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Responsible for launching the career of one of my favorite comedians...
Summary: 3 Stars
As a devoted Ferrell fan my wife insisted that I finally get around to watching `Night at the Roxbury'. Honestly, how can you claim to worship the comedian if you have never seen his earliest work? So I made my way down to my local video store and rummaged through the videos until I found this DVD hidden behind a slew of less impressive fodder and made my way up to the checkout line. Upon seeing the video I was renting the young girl checking me out starting to involuntarily bob her head to the side and hum the tune of some 90's dance track and I knew that I was in for a cult classic. To label `Night at the Roxbury' a cult classic may not sit well with everyone, but to be completely honest it is the film that launched the mega-successful career of Will Ferrell, and that alone is worth mentioning. Do I think `Night at the Roxbury' is Ferrell's funniest film? No, but I do think that this was one heck of a start for his career and watching this film further proves that he's always had it.
The movie centers around brothers Doug and Steve Butabi (no...yes). As has been mentioned, this film, along with so many others starring the SNL alumni, is just an expansion of their SNL skits. These two brothers are as lame as lame can be, but in their own eyes they are the coolest cats on the block. Doug, played by Chris Kattan, is the ringleader. He's the more independent outspoken brother. Ferrell's Steve is more of a follower, gullible and naïve and easily manipulated. They work in their father's fake-plant shop but their real dream is to one day open their own night club. After a chance meeting with the owner of the popular club `The Roxbury' they find themselves one step closer to their dream but when their father, the girl next door and a bitter rival come between them and their nightclub they find themselves torn apart and their spirits, along with their dreams, begin to crumble.
This film is hilarious in scenes, corny in most, and just plain ridiculous some of the time, but as some have already mentioned, this is just good goofy fun. This is not the type of film to take seriously so why bother trying to. Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are hilarious here. In fact, Kattan is so funny that I'm surprised his career didn't skyrocket as well. It's funny to me to watch this film and see how it helped launch Ferrell's career yet Kattan hasn't done much more than the ill-received and poorly orchestrated Corky Romano. Molly Shannon is also great here as the seductive manipulating girl after Steve's heart and the prospect of a family business venture. To any fan of SNL or Ferrell will want to see this, as I'm sure they already have. Now I can really say I'm a fan of Ferrell, a big fan, for I've seen his most recognized film, the film that started it all, and I can honestly say that from the dialog to the soundtrack it's a winner.
