Brainless brothers cruise clubs. Medium-cool comedy. Read the review

Basically a longer version of its poster. full review

Paul Tatara, CNN.com

An amiable, if flyweight, diversion. full review

Dennis Harvey, Variety

More schmaltzy than funny. full review

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

A Night at the Roxbury probably never had a shot at being funny anyway, but I don't think it planned to be pathetic. It's the first comedy I've attended where you feel that to laugh would be cruel to the characters. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Not the rock-bottom worst of the SNL skit-derived films, but pretty darn close... full review

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

The director, John Fortenberry, whose background is in television, has probably done the best that can be done with characters who were never meant to speak. full review

Anita Gates, New York Times

Anyone who is more than momentarily diverted by this motion picture has such a radically different idea from me of what constitutes 'entertainment' that we may never agree on anything. full review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Let's look at the bright side. America is still the land of opportunity if Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan can make a movie. full review
