Score
Expanding their one-joke skit from televisions Saturday Night Live, Chris
Kattan and Will Ferrell are Doug and Steve Butabi, the wearers of the
rayon suits and Speedo trunks who bob their heads in unison to dance
music while unsuccessfully preying on women in clubs. Whats fun ny in a
three-minute piece doesnt always get funnier by expansion, but Kattan and
Ferrell give it a go with fellow SNL member Molly Shannon as their
ambitious neighbor. By day they work in their fathers fake-plant store. By
night they prowl the club scene after spraying on the cologne in their
gauchely decorated bedroom. A fender-bender with Richard Grieco
(playing himself) gets them into the popular club the Roxbury, but its not all
good news, as the brothers soon find themselves torn apart. Doug and
Steve are pathetic but lovable, mostly due to the actors talents for self -
deprecating humor. All gifted comedians, Kattan, Ferrell, and Shannon
obviously feel comfortable around each other, and their love triangle
(which prompts send-ups of Say Anything and Jerry Maguire) is the
funniest joke in this mostly lame comedy. Too bad, because it clocks in at
about 80 minutes and could have run on television as a pretty good
episode of SNL, which has been known to get a bit lame itself. --Shannon
Gee
My daughter want this DVD for her Birthday party. She wanted something
funny to watch at her 17th Birthday Party and this is what she wanted. The
movie is funny and has some cool music that kids of today really like. I
would suggest anyone to order this movie from Amazon.com.
