I haven't laughed this much since "Something About Mary". Funny how the critics raved about that one , and gave this this the flick. Also, much better than the similar "Dumb and Dumber"...and not a fart gag in sight In it's naive, good-natured way , it was more like "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" or "Wayne's World" but out of all these films , "Roxbury" is my new favourite.

You wouldn't watch it with your mother, but it's really quite funny. Joe Pesci's character is so utterly repugnant that you kind of watch him with a sense of awe and wonder if he's really as bad as he seems. See it and find out

A special mention to Dyan Cannon who has some of the choicest scenes and the best line of the whole movie.

8/10

When you see quality actors' names such as James Coburn or Christopher Plummer attached to a movie , you would assume that those quality actors would appear in films that have a quality script. I mean , surely they READ the script before they agreed to appear in this rubbish?

Movies like this do nothing but damage a good actors' reputation so I guess it's a good thing that very few people have actually seen it.

I just wish I hadn't.

This very silly musical comedy contains the immortal line "She is worth her weight in vegetables" . Set in a banana republic, the plot involves amonst other things, a card cheating president, an attempted coup, a conceited opera singer and vegetables. It has some good songs , a few corny lines but mostly it is pretty funny. A great movie to watch at 2 in the morning, and check out the generals' earring.

This film is wonderful. Wacky, politically incorrect and more risque than you might expect from a movie from this era.

Tom Walls who plays Sir Duncan Craggs and also directed is a comic genius. Don't miss it.
