Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Shun this witless showcase for the Saturday Night Live double act of Ferrell and Kattan. The 'Roxbury Guys', brothers Steve and Doug Butabi, are improbable twenty-something Angelenos, thoroughbred inadequates who live for the dancefloor but struggle to get on and stay on it. Steve (Ferrell) at least achieves a degree of bathos; Doug (Kattan), however, is simply reptilian. As summarised by their permanently contemptuous father (Hedaya, the only recognisable human being in the movie), one son has his head in the clouds, the other his head up his ass.Author: NB
