The problem is, however, when compared to the skits that were successful, there's practically nothing here with which to work from the original. For every "Blues Brothers" and "Wayne's World," there's "It's Pat" and "Stuart Saves His Family," so it should come as no surprise that the filmmakers and Paramount Studios are willing to hedge their bets on the film's apparent 50/50 chances.
OUR TAKE: 2 out of 10 Proving once again that it's difficult to transform a three or four-minute skit into a feature length film, "A Night at the Roxbury" is sporadically funny at best, but mightily strains to fill its brief eighty minute runtime.īased on a currently running, and somewhat humorous skit on TV's "Saturday Night Live," this film follows in a long line of skits that have landed with varying results as feature movies.
