Here's another modern-day comedy which automatically means two things: lots of sex jokes and stupid-but-harmless characters.
This "dumb and dumber" movie featuring two geeks who want to enter a disco and later want to own one.....all to get chicks, of course.
It does feature some very good disco music; somewhat likable leads; an entertaining supporting cast - from the parents (Dan Hedyaa and Loni Anderson are a hoot!) to the bimbos to the exercise trainer. The movie also is short, which was a good move. You can only take so much of these idiot Butabi brothers, played by Will Ferrell and Chris Kataan.
This gets a little sappy at the end when the brothers feud, but overall it's a pretty good lightweight comedy with a good share of laughs.

Dumb & Dumber At The Disco
The film that defined a generation!!
I love this film!! It was funny, visually exciting, and the best soundtrack since "Saturday Night Fever." In fact this film is similar to "Saturday Night Fever" in the way that it helped define a part of popular culture.
Anyone that is not already going to dance clubs should, first, see this film, second, get to the nearest hot night club and dance to the sounds that were so well presented in this film. I promise, you won't regret it.
Like "Dude, Where's My Car?", it shows that movies can be stupid and funny at the same time.
Just imagine every dopey duo (e.g., Bill and Ted) and imagine them trying to get into a cool club, and you basically have "A Night at the Roxbury". I had never heard of Will Ferrell before this movie came out, but he did a hilarious job here and has of course seen his career proliferate since. He and Chris Kattan play slacker brothers Steve and Doug Butabi, trying to get into a club. Well, that's the official plot; but like other such movies, it's basically an excuse for a bunch of crazy situations.
I've seen some of the "SNL" episodes that had this skit. My favorite one was the one with Sylvester Stallone. It ended with something that I'm probably not allowed to write here.
