Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug and Steve Butabi still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad. They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica and Cambi, and resolve to open a club of their own.

Critics Consensus

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

The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o.

An amiable, if flyweight, diversion.

…the whole package feels like it’s been in a retro time-capsule yet still comes up box fresh. Sure, it’s a silly, lightweight film that plays like the extended SNL sketch that it is, but who cares? Sometimes a little light relief is in order…

...a barely-passable SNL comedy that certainly could've fared a whole lot worse.

There just isn't very much going on that's terribly funny.
