Too bad, because it clocks in at about 80 minutes and could have run on television as a pretty good episode of SNL, which has been known to get a bit lame itself. All gifted comedians, Kattan, Ferrell, and Shannon obviously feel comfortable around each other, and their love triangle (which prompts send-ups of Say Anything and Jerry Maguire) is the funniest joke in this mostly lame comedy. Doug and Steve are pathetic but lovable, mostly due to the actors' talents for self-deprecating humor. A fender-bender with Richard Grieco (playing himself) gets them into the popular club the Roxbury, but it's not all good news, as the brothers soon find themselves torn apart. By night they prowl the club scene after spraying on the cologne in their gauchely decorated bedroom. By day they work in their father's fake-plant store. But no matter how hard they try, every night they get turned away, until one day they decide it’s now or ever, and give it one last chance. They work out every day and spend hours getting ready, just hoping they can finally enter the club of all clubs, The Roxbury. What's funny in a three-minute piece doesn't always get funnier by expansion, but Kattan and Ferrell give it a go with fellow SNL member Molly Shannon as their ambitious neighbor. Emilio The Might Duck Man, I swear to God. Expanding their one-joke skit from television's Saturday Night Live, Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell are Doug and Steve Butabi, the wearers of the rayon suits and Speedo trunks who bob their heads in unison to dance music while unsuccessfully preying on women in clubs.
