REVIEW
Unbearable expansion of the Butabi Brothers "Saturday Night Live" skit. Has that show gone so far downhill that these two characters pass as memorable? The plot: two losers who still live at home dream of getting into the famous titular nightclub. Thank goodness a slumming Grieco is around to help them out. Ferrell and Kattan exude zero charm as they grope nightclubbers, rebel against their flower shop-owning father (Hedaya) and verbally abuse the one girl skanky enough to be right for them (Shannon). Will they discover…love? If that proposition doesn't make you ill, if seeing Palminteri ask everyone "Did you grab my ass?" cracks you up, if you must see the second film from the director of Jury Duty…this will still not be 82 minutes worth spending. --David Gorgos
