This is a film that is better than you expect it to be. It's sort of Last Days of Disco meets Wayne's World.
It is based on an idea that came from Saturday Night Live about three guys who are trying to get into discos/parties and are so uncool. They all bob their heads to the music in a funny fashion and try to pick up women, which of course they are useless at but think they are excellent at. The third person from this original skit was Jim Carrey. For whatever reason Jim Carrey was not in this movie but the other two are and despite Carrey's absence the comedy has his distinct style in many ways, particularly with visual comedy.
The music, if you like European 90s disco/house is very good and the support actors are excellent. There are more than a couple of people from the original Clueless film if you can spot them all.
To give you a basic plot, which in this type of movie isn't really important anyway, you have two sons of a rich LA shop owner. They live for parties and think they are well into the scene but their dad thinks they are a waste of space. They try to get into a club called the Roxbury which is more exclusive and through a series of events, mistaken identities and so on move into the partying fast-lane. There are some ups and downs for our two guys though but in true tradition there is a happy ending.
If you liked Wayne's World and Dumb and Dumber there is enough similar humour for you. It's worth seeing in my opinion, I gave it 7 out of 10 and I'm normally quite tight.
