The brothers fight and Doug moves out of their shared bedroom and into the guest house. The girls break up with the Butabi brothers after realizing they are not really wealthy. In reality, Zadir really wants to see them, but does not have their contact information. He tells the brothers that Zadir was drunk out of his mind last night and does not know who they are. As revenge, the next day Dooey denies them entry into Zadir's office for their meeting.
#A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY INSOMNIA DRIVER#
Zadir's house, the brothers annoy his driver and bodyguard Dooey ( Colin Quinn) by making him stop to buy fluffy whip and making jokes about sleeping with his parents. The brothers also meet a pair of women at the Roxbury: Vivica ( Gigi Rice) and Cambi ( Elisa Donovan), who see them talking to Zadir and think that the brothers are rich. He likes them and sets up a meeting with them for the next day. There they meet the owner of the Roxbury, Benny Zadir ( Chazz Palminteri), who listens to their idea for a nightclub of their own. They get into a fender-bender with Richard Grieco (playing himself) and to avoid a lawsuit, Grieco uses his fame to get them into the popular club. After discovering they might bribe their way into the club, the brothers drive around looking for an ATM. They are given enormous cell phones by their mother ( Loni Anderson) and allowed use of the fake-plant store's delivery van, they are quickly rejected by the doorman ( Michael Clarke Duncan). Butabi then denies them access to their BMW car and their cell phones. Their father has planned a dinner party with Emily and her parents. Returning home, Doug gets into a heated argument with their father about going out clubbing instead of staying home. Sanderson hope that Steve and Emily ( Molly Shannon), Sanderson's daughter, will marry, uniting the families and the businesses to form the first plant-lamp emporium.Īfter a day at the beach the brothers decide that tonight is the night they will finally get into the Roxbury. The store shares a wall with a lighting emporium owned by Fred Sanderson ( Dwayne Hickman). They spend most of their time goofing off, daydreaming about opening a club as cool as the Roxbury together, and Doug using credit card transactions as an excuse to hit on a phone approval operator. By day, the brothers work at an artificial plant store owned by their wealthy father, Kamehl Butabi ( Dan Hedaya). Their dream is to party at the Roxbury, a fabled nightclub where they are continually denied entrance by a hulking bouncer ( Michael Clarke Duncan). Wealthy Yemeni-American brothers Steve ( Will Ferrell) and Doug Butabi ( Chris Kattan) enjoy frequenting Los Angeles nightclubs, where they bob their heads in unison to dance music (specifically Haddaway's hit song "What Is Love") and fail miserably at picking up women. Ex- SNLer Mark McKinney has a cameo as a priest officiating a wedding. Benny Zadir, and Colin Quinn as his bodyguard. Other roles include Jennifer Coolidge as a police officer, Chazz Palminteri's uncredited role as gregarious night club impresario Mr. However the barhop role was dropped during production of the film. In the original sketches, Doug and Steve were often joined by that night's guest, credited as 'barhop' (including turns by Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Alec Baldwin, Jack Nicholson, and Sylvester Stallone parodying his familiar Rocky Balboa role). The film sees Kattan and Ferrell reprise their SNL characters, dense nightclubbing brothers Doug and Steve Butabi. Yet time after time, with the exceptions of features like Wayne’s World and The Blues Brothers, SNL often failed to deliver even mediocre comedies out of their once-glorified skits.A Night at the Roxbury is a 1998 comedy film based on a recurring skit on television's long-running Saturday Night Live called " The Roxbury Guys." Saturday Night Live regulars Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon, and Colin Quinn star. To the credit of all SNL films, good and bad, these sketches were classics that showed this promise.
#A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY INSOMNIA MOVIE#
Without said fanbase, the film has little influence in proving its saleability to a national movie audience. The initial requirement for adapting five-minute sketches like It’s Pat, Coneheads or Wayne’s World into feature films is a loyal fanbase.
SNL has an interesting history with its sketches-turned-movies. Anyone who wasn’t living in a cave during the mid/late ’90s can recognize the song forever immortalized by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan’s popular “”Saturday Night Live” skit. Then, the unmistakable song pumps through the speakers: “ What is love? Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more,” Haddaway sings in his emotionally tinged dance hit.
