How do you turn that into a movie You throw in an unbilled performance from Chazz Palminteri and let him do whatever he wants, apparently. A Night At The Roxbury tells the story of Steve and Doug Butabi, two characters who not only barely talked in their sketches but didnt have names. However, perhaps time has been kind to Roxbury, as its audience score is a strangely fresh (and appropriately 'nice') 69%. This week on Saturday Night Jive were talking about an actual SNL movie. Besides bombing, A Night At The Roxbury earned a disastrous 11% critic's score, stalling Ferrell's film career and killing Kattan's. Paramount saw bucks in the Butabis, but they were the only ones.

It was kinda funny for six minutes, but did these guys ever even talk on SNL? Did we even know their names? Didn't matter. The one who seemed the least likely to warrant a movie was Steve Butabi, who - along with his brother, Doug (played by Chris Kattan) - was an obnoxious clubgoer who 'danced' to Haddaway's 'What Is Love?' Ferrell had several memorable characters during his seven-year run, including Harry Caray, Marty Culp, and Craig the Cheerleader. Ferrell was on SNL for seven years, from 1995-2002, and he might've left sooner had Roxbury not bombed with $30 million in 1998, less than half as much as the $75 million that his breakout role in Old School earned in 2003.
