Critic Reviews

Michael O'Sullivan

I will admit that this TV skit stretched out to a filament-thin 83 minutes is idiotic, but I mean that in a good way. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

The track record of SNL-drawn movies is dire ("It's Pat," "Stuart Saves His Family," "Blues Brothers 2000"), and this one stands just a peg higher, as an amiable, if flyweight, di-version. Read full review

Gene Seymour

Kattan and Ferrell do their best to fill out the shallow Butabis. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

One could criticize A Night at the Roxbury for being a comedy that provides not a single laugh. That would be too easy. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The sad thing about A Night at the Roxbury is that the characters are in a one-joke movie, and they're the joke. Read full review

Nicole Campos

That Amy Heckerling produced and, supposedly, had an uncredited hand in scripting this turkey is the saddest thing I've heard all year. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Running a mere 83 minutes, A Night At The Roxbury still feels like an eternity spent in bad high-concept-movie hell. Read full review

What is Love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.. That single scene when the guys are headbanging at What is Love deserves a perfect rating...

The movie is a cult classic and that's because it is very memorable and a great time to watch.

Movida en el Roxbury rezuma olor a los 90s por todos los poros. La trama, como está dirigida, los personajes y el guión son un cúmulo de apartados que conforman una película típica de sofá. Es tan absurda que es decente, pero no se lo podría recomendar a nadie por razones obvias.

No recomendada.… Expand

One note characters in a one joke film stretched past the breaking point. Its interesting now as a pre-stardom Will Ferrell film but otherwise its a stupid waste of time.

Verdict: Skip

Most actors have their flops. This is Will Ferrell's. Unfunny, boring, and cheesy are the only words that will come to your mind after watching this movie. What was once a brilliant sketch is ruined by the complex stupidity of a film with an ego bigger than its hit.
