Rotten:47

Average Rating:3.3/10

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

Runtime: 82 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell reprise their roles as Steve and Doug Butabi, two pathetic brothers who try to work their way onto the list of one of Hollywood's hippest nightclubs. Their biggest... Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell reprise their roles as Steve and Doug Butabi, two pathetic brothers who try to work their way onto the list of one of Hollywood's hippest nightclubs. Their biggest dream is to open their own club--the problem is they can't get into an existing one to see what it looks like. When two supermodels latch onto Steve and Doug thinking they've found the financial gravy train, it takes them some time to find out the truth about they state of the boys' bank accounts. Based on characters created by Kattan and Ferrell for a sketch on TV's Saturday Night Live. [More]

Shun this witless showcase for the Saturday Night Live double act of Ferrell and Kattan.

We have to survive on a diet of low calorie slapstick and quick-fix buffoonery.

It would take far better writing than Kattan, Ferrell and Steve Koren can muster to make it less than an ordeal.

Depois de um tempo, parei de prestar atenção na história (hein?) e me concentrei na boa trilha sonora. Além disso, o filme é curto o bastante para não se tornar intolerável.
