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.

I felt like the characters in this movie could feel the happiness and difficulties that they faced in real life.

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

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

This movie was the backbone of my high school days with lots of go to quotes. It's got a great original story line, Chris Kattan makes this movie soundtrack one of the best. It's one of my top favs.

This is such a fun movie. Yes, it is idiotic but also very entertaining. Don't care what the critics say.
