![]() ![]() But whereas a film like Wayne's World successfully avoided the pitfalls of TV-to-film translation, A Night at the Roxbury flops around a bit, nailing some solid laughs but mostly falling apart by its conclusion. One of the many "SNL"-themed flicks that hit theaters in the Nineties, A Night at the Roxbury is just big, dumb fun, an excuse to stretch a one-note joke out to feature length. After all, it's the pop singer's mid-Nineties track "What Is Love" that's inextricably linked with the moronic Butabi brothers and their distinctive head-bobbing dance that served as one of Ferrell's breakout characters on "Saturday Night Live." He might've been peeved briefly, but I'm sure the copious royalty checks keep him warm at night. I often wonder if one-hit wonder Haddaway harbors any ill will towards Will Ferrell or Chris Kattan.
