Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug and Steve Butabi still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad. They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica and Cambi, and resolve to open a club of their own.

Grieco gets the brothers into the exclusive Roxbury nightclub

Biggest Swing

The brothers' fortune dramatically shifts from their peak success getting into the Roxbury (8.0) to losing everything when the girls dump them (5.0), a 3-point drop that represents the classic comedy fall before redemption.

A Night at the Roxbury follows a classic comedy arc that resonates with audiences despite its simple SNL origins. The film peaks when the brothers finally achieve their dream of entering the exclusive nightclub, then crashes as their newfound success proves illusory. While reviewers noted the predictable formula and overused gags, many found the brothers genuinely lovable and the film surprisingly rewatchable.
