Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug and Steve Butabi still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad. They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica and Cambi, and resolve to open a club of their own.

Critics Consensus

Has the same problems as the worst SNL movies: one-note characters and plots unreasonably stretched to feature length runtime.

The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o.

An amiable, if flyweight, diversion.

…the whole package feels like it’s been in a retro time-capsule yet still comes up box fresh. Sure, it’s a silly, lightweight film that plays like the extended SNL sketch that it is, but who cares? Sometimes a little light relief is in order…

...a barely-passable SNL comedy that certainly could've fared a whole lot worse.

There just isn't very much going on that's terribly funny.

Good fun classic. Obviously if you’re a snobby critic you’re not going to like it but me it’s just fun and not to take too seriously.

“A spoiled child tryna fit in at the fanciest club chasing the bougiest chicks only to find a life lesson out of it”- Its Silly, entertaining and nostalgic! This movie speaks directly to naive male mindset of a young man growing up in the 90’s. Don’t expect Romeo and Juliet, lower expectations and have fun!!!

This movie makes me laugh so much I replay it constantly as a soundtrack while driving. I don't know what was up the critics' butts giving it such a low rating. It's a broad comedy but has a surprising amount of heart for what it is. And the one-liners are to die for...e.g. Doug: "You can't steal our dreams!" Steve: "Yeah, 'cause we're like sleeping while we have them!"
