Two dorky guys with gold chains and sideburns whose main goal is to spend a night at the Roxbury dance club makes for some annoyingly good comedy.

“A Night at the Roxbury” is set in the heart of L.A., where Steve and Doug Butabi (Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan of “Saturday Night Live”) decide there is more to life than working in their family-owned silk plant store.

Their long term goal: using Roxbury connections to someday start a club of their own.

As with every dream, there is one thing is in their way — the large stubborn bouncer at the Roxbury.

He has never let them in and doesn’t plan to. Until one night when the Butabis are rear-ended by the one-and-only Richard Grieco.

The former “21 Jump Street” star is willing to do anything to avoid a lawsuit, so he agrees to bring the idiosyncratic brothers to the Roxbury with him and get them in.

The Butabi’s dream has come true, but the good luck doesn’t stop there. While walking through the club with Grieco, they are introduced to club owner Mr. Zadir, the clueless wanderer who is always accusing others of grabbing his ass.

They take a table with Zadir and share their idea of opening a club that looks like the inside on the outside, and looks like the outside on the inside. Zadir appears interested and agrees to set up a meeting with them.

Once the wild night at the Roxbury is over, the movie continues with Zadir trying to track down the Butabis. Meanwhile, they get in a big fight which causes Steve to get engaged to the annoying and immature neighbor, Emily (Molly Shannon, also of “Saturday Night Live”).

While it doesn’t quite compare to previous “Saturday Night Live” films like “Wayne’s World,” “Tommy Boy” and “Billy Madison,” “A Night at the Roxbury” is definitely a funny movie.

A lot of the humor that wasn’t shown in the previews, however, was very predictable. Ferrell and Kattan both act dexterously, but the dumb guy act gets irritating fast.

The two of them mixed with Emily and Craig, the health club trainer (Lochlyn Munro from “Dead Man on Campus”) all portraying the same dumbfounded character drives you up the wall after a while.

One thing that really sticks out is the appearances of Grieco and the Butabi’s mother, Loni Anderson. Both provide an extra comedy element this film needs.

The wardrobe chosen for the Butabis is creative and eye-catching, helping to portray the true nature of their characters.

With their gold chains, perfectly trimmed sideburns, tight clothing and intensely hair-sprayed heads, they perfectly fit the stereotype they are going for — cocky guys who care more about how they look than anything else.

The ending came all too fast, but it was not all that predictable. The story of the movie, which was very well written, could have been longer, and the writers should have done more with what they had.

And what’s an “SNL” film without a cameo from Kevin Nealon?
