A Night at the Roxbury (1998)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 4/05, 2/10

4/05: A Night at the Roxbury is so insane that it has gotten me all cracked up.

Sure, the plot is lame, and the characters can be annoying at times. All of them don't stop it from being a decently made dumb comedy. I've been thoroughly entertained from start to end.

Craig, who's played by Lochlyn Munro, is a likeable character. Chris Kattan has a good line, "Is that a mirror in your pocket? 'Cause I can see myself in your pants!" A hysterical scene is when Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell did the head movements in the car and the former accidentally smashed his head against the window not once but two separate times.

Richard Grieco makes a cameo. For some reason, his career never took off, especially after If Looks Could Kill and Mobsters were made. It's too bad because, once upon a time, Richard Grieco was one of the hottest-looking stars.

All in all, A Night at the Roxbury is a funny movie.

2/10: Oh, all right...shoot me.

There's a good reason why watching a movie again is sometimes necessary. I can't believe, five years ago, I actually thought A Night at the Roxbury was funny. Today, I can say it's a definite "no."

The only part I liked is when Chris Kattan bounced his head from left to right in the car until smashing it against the window. After Richard Grieco made his appearance, I felt like going on the internet to find out what the heck happened to him. His career was on the ascent, and then, he just disappeared. The botched plastic surgeries, along with cocaine addiction, didn't do him favors. There's a rumor that Richard Grieco was an alcoholic and partied too much.

All in all, A Night at the Roxbury is another one in the long line of bad Saturday Night Live pictures.
