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.

The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o.

An amiable, if flyweight, diversion.

…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

...a barely-passable SNL comedy that certainly could've fared a whole lot worse.

Loved this movie. Worth watching, its very over the top but its definitely a movie they are just taking a swing at it. the music is great. The acting is basically improve with the two leads and its fun. And the plot / premise is basically a skit in 90s snl. Worth watching and one of the most memorable comedies.

This was such a great movie. I'm not sure why the critics gave it such a low score.
