This could be the favorite Ferrell choice of many. Now, the first big hurdle in the Ferrell lineup is definitely Old School. Zoolander was a great role for Ferrell, but that was more of a Ben Stiller showcase. But to call it his best movie might be a little bit of a stretch. A Night at the Roxbury definitely took his SNL fame and put it to good use, starting his long streak of top-notch comedy efforts. I couldn’t believe it when Lorne Michaels said he wanted to make a movie about the Roxbury guys”.So, to take on this titanic task, you have to cycle through all of those classic Will Ferrell roles and make sure to give credit where credit is due. “Let’s just say I liked my part in ‘The Ladies Man’ better than I liked the whole ‘Roxbury’ movie. “I was in New York, and this Foreign Cab driver turns and looks at me and goes, ‘Roxbury guy! I love it”.īut despite the loyal following, Ferrell seems a little dissatisfied with the film. But it found more of a life on video and DVD”, Ferrell says. It wasn’t a hit at the cinemas, it wasn’t a flop either.

The “Corky Romano” star says the 1998 comedy, directed by John Fortenberry, “deserves” a sequel.įerrell told Moviehole a few years back that he wasn’t very fond of the “Roxbury” film – and didn’t want to resurrect the Butabi brothers. “I don’t think it would be difficult to be made and difficult for it to make a lot of money. “I think it’s a no-brainer that it would be a fun movie to do, I think,” he said. Working with Ferrell, his former “SNL” co-star, is “one of the coolest things to do” says Kattan, and he’s “one of those guys who is just as funny off-screen as he is on-screen.” Kattan tells Page Six that he’d love to work with Will again and hopes that might be in the form of a “Roxbury” reunion movie. The film saw the dimish, dancing duo making pals with “21 Jump Street” legend (!) Richard Grieco.Īccording to his 2019 memoir, 50 year-old Kattan claimed that “Saturday Night Live” chief Lorne Michaels pressured him to have sex with the film’s would-be director Amy Heckerling (“Clueless”), which ultimately hurt his friendship with Ferrell. He and co-star Will Ferrell haven’t been buddies for many years.īased on a recurring sketch on television’s long-running “Saturday Night Live” called “The Roxbury Guys”, the two-hander starred Kattan and Ferrell as brothers who get comically rejected by women in various clubs. Chris Kattan wants a “Night at the Roxbury” sequel…
