Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad (Dan Hedaya). They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco (Richard Grieco) gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica (Gigi Rice) and Cambi (Elisa Donovan), and resolve to open a club of their own.

Critics Consensus

Has the same problems as the worst SNL movies: one-note characters and plots unreasonably stretched to feature length runtime.

Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o. Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety An amiable, if flyweight, diversion. May 18, 2008 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader More schmaltzy than funny. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …the whole package feels like it’s been in a retro time-capsule yet still comes up box fresh. Sure, it’s a silly, lightweight film that plays like the extended SNL sketch that it is, but who cares? Sometimes a little light relief is in order… Rated: 3/5 Dec 18, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a barely-passable SNL comedy that certainly could've fared a whole lot worse. Rated: 2.5/4 May 2, 2021 Full Review Zaki Hasan Zaki's Corner There just isn't very much going on that's terribly funny. Rated: D+ Dec 22, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Esmeralda E This was such a great movie. I'm not sure why the critics gave it such a low score. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Donavon T It was a very feel good movie nothing to think about it watched it over and over and it was funny nothing serious Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Uynga U i feel like i'm in this movie 😄 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Bahad j I felt like the characters in this movie could feel the happiness and difficulties that they faced in real life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Requiem L Lorne Michaels: "Wayne's World sold. Do it again but they like Techno." Chris Kattan is cringe worthy. Ferrell does the best with what he's given but even he can be hit or miss at the best of times and in this one, he's a miss. Not a classic at all. I want whatever these reviewers are smoking. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Kalev C An early Will Ferrell classic. you could not get away making a movie like this in 2024. but for Gen X watchers great sound track spanning late 70s to 90s and cool movie and TV allusions. Plot line delightfully juvenile and presages that cinematic classic Step Brothers but of course these guys are blood brothers. Some amazing party scenes and well pitched cameos. Tear jerker at the end but won’t spoil it. A movie for the ages especially for man child nation. As with most Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler movies if you see an abysmal critic rating you are guaranteed some comedic low brow delights to keep you guffawing guiltily at your own idiocy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
