Unfortunately, when brought up, it’s usually unfairly lumped in with the likes of It’s Pat and Stuart Saves His Family instead of its rightful place next to Wayne’s World.įor those that aren’t familiar, the movie is based on a Saturday Night Live sketch revolving around two douchebags who cruise around, stop at various clubs, and attempt to dance with women. With 90’s nostalgia in full swing, now seems like the perfect time to revisit this underrated comedy gem. That movie is 1998’s A Night at the Roxbury. A movie… that is the best Emilio Estevez movie not starring Emilio Estevez. A movie that taught us that the concept of “true love” can exist between siblings long before Elsa and Anna. A movie that was panned by critics at the time, yet 16 years later is still quoted and loved by many people (that don’t have sticks up their asses).

Well, that recently happened to me and it got me thinking that as a writer for a movie site I have an opportunity AND A DUTY to right a major injustice and pay tribute to movie that never got the respect it deserved. You know those lazy Sunday afternoons when you’re laying on the couch with nothing to do, playing TV channel roulette, just hoping to land on one of those special movies that you’ve seen dozens of times and can’t not watch to the end once you land on it?
