However, as it stands, I was quite amused by the on-screen proceedings in John Fortenberry's A Night at the Roxbury.
However, A Night at the Roxbury works for the same reason Wayne's World did: by combining a little slapstick humor with original characters and a few parodies of other popular movies, the end result was an easy going humor.
There is no message, there is no attempt to right societal wrongs, just sheer Spam entertainment as we watch two stupid brothers interact with the public in their everyday lives.

 UGO.com Film/TV - A Night at the Roxbury - Television on Film
Generally considered one of the lesser lights in the pantheon of movies based on Saturday Night Live skits, A Night at the Roxbury faced an uphill battle on its release in 1998.
For one thing, the sketch on which it was based was primarily about two idiots who go to clubs, bop their heads back and forth and try to hit on women in the stupidest way possible, so the source material was a little thin.
Still, Roxbury isn't a terrible little movie, and there are genuine moments of comedy thanks to a plethora of gags and the charm of Ferrell (oh, OK - and Kattan).

 Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: A Night At The Roxbury
That A Night at the Roxbury didn't hold together for Cranky may simply be because I am so far out of the target demographic that I never found the characters funny in the first place.
Cranky watched the audience and saw more than a couple of them laughing heartily (as opposed to hysterically) and that is a good enough indication that the first paragraph I wrote may well be the last 'graph you need to read on the topic.
The net effect is that dialog becomes irrelevant, and our boys can spasticize on the dance floor or twiddle their noses or bop their heads to the beat, all character gimmicks from the sketches.

 A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY
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.
Beyond that, we're supposed to find scenes where the brothers fight, attempt to bribe a doorman with pocket change, or primp as they prepare to go out for the evening as funny (the sight of them in their ultra tight fitting, shiny polyester shirts might elicit a lone giggle), but such scenes mostly fall flat.

"A Night at the Roxbury" is basically a longer version of its poster.
Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan (who also helped with the, um, screenplay) play the Butabi brothers, L.A. party guys who go to the right clubs, bob their heads to the beat of the electronic music, and toss off preconceived pickup lines regardless of whether the situation calls for them or not.
One night the boys get into a car accident involving Richard Grieco (as himself!), who then smoothes things over by getting them into The Roxbury, a ultra-hip club that normally won't admit them.
