Still, do you really want to spend an hour and a half with them in a dark room?"<ref>{{cite news|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9B04E5D91438F931A35753C1A96E958260 | work=[[The New York Times]] | title=A Night at the Roxbury - FILM REVIEW; A Lucky Break for the Terminally Uncool | date=October 2, 1998}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] observed that "the sad thing about ''A Night at the Roxbury'' is that the characters are in a one-joke movie, and they're the joke... It's the first comedy I've attended where you feel that to laugh would be cruel to the characters."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/a-night-at-the-roxbury-1998 | work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] | title=A Night at the Roxbury | date=October 2, 1998}}</ref>

General audiences, however, were far kinder than professional critics; the film currently has an overall audience rating of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.
