A Night at the Roxbury (1998)
Just so very, very bad
Since I live in Holland, I don't know "Saturday Night Live" so I saw this movie without any bias or prejudice. My seeing this movie was part of a "bad movie night", where I get together with friends so we can watch crappy movies. Occasionally, some of the 'crappy' movies that get picked turn out to be not half bad.
Unfortunately, "A Night at the Roxbury" doesn't fall in that category. Sure, it's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it comes pretty darn close. Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are patently unfunny, their schtick stops being funny after... oh, say, three seconds and all in all, it was a prime candidate for the bad movie night.
A few 'celebrities' (using the term very loosely) even have cameos, among which former "21 Jump Street" star Richard Grieco, playing himself.
This movie isn't worth the rental price, unless you're going to view it the way I did -- to see if it's really as bad as people say it is.
And it is.

Still a good show
My friends continue to make fun of me for absolutely loving this show, but I don't really care. Seeing the episodes now -- in 2002 -- only shows how fresh this show still is. Some of these episodes could be aired *today* and still be relevant and have an impact.
I definitely thought the show was going a bit downhill in season 3. Adding Richard Grieco to the cast did not help; I liked neither him nor his character and was happy to see him gone. Overall, I must say that the second season was the best, with tightly-written episodes, strong characterization and outstanding acting ("Orpheus 3.3" springs to mind as an example of truly breath-taking acting on Johnny Depp's part).
Well, what more can I say that hasn't been said? If you ever get the chance, check this show out. Here's hoping for a possible DVD release -- the quality of my tapes isn't what it used to be and I would hate to lose my collection (season 1-4).
