After hearing of all the records it came near to or broke, I was disappointed after watching it. The hype surrounding the movie caused me to go out and read the book. After reading it, I thought the movie would be great, but....it was just the book on screen. Not much to it, they used exact lines, etc. Lord of the Rings was based on the book, but it was so much better... Maybe it's because this movie was directed towards kids, but the movie was just boring. I didn't find the three-headed dog or wizard chess as exciting as it was in the book. And after reading it, you already know of the big surprise at the end. It's a good adaptation of the book, but the book surpasses it on so many levels...

A Night at the Roxbury
(1998)
Awesome Comedy
21 February 2002
After watching this movie on television, I automatically went on the net to find out what other people thought about it...I was extremely surprised to see that Roxbury wasn't even given an average higher than 5, many people expressing their disgust for the movie...But, I Loved it. I have never laughed so much during a movie, and there was an actual point to the movie. Some of the gags has me laughing for at least 10 minutes, and I still laugh thinking of them (the ambulance noises, the Emilio story, LoL). I can't believe so many people don't like this movie, it's a great comedy, much better than horrible flicks like Dude where's my car, and Saving Silverman. At least this movie has a point, I came to like the characters of the Butabi brothers. Was this a Good Movie? Noooo....YES!
