Hot Tub Time Machine


So the premise for Hot Tub Time Machine is totally ridiculous. Three best friends who have lost contact with each other played by John Cusack, Craig Robinson, and Rob Cordury decide to take a weekend vacation to get away from life after one of them "tried" to commit suicide. They bring along Cusack's nephew played by Clark Duke of Greek and Sex Drive fame to the place that used to be their favorite vacation spot when they were in high school. When they get there its not the awesome spot they remember it to be, they cant help but wonder what happened and there's nothing else to do but get in the hot tub and get drunk. Somehow they end up back in 1986, and hilarious hijinks ensue. The idea for this movie is so silly and ridiculous and everyone involved takes advantage of that. They know it's silly and they just don't care, and that's why Hot Tub Time Machine is so much fun. Even when trying to figure out how they went back in time, they use theories from other popular time travel films. It's just so funny, and what a better time to set this film than in the 80's, America's most hilarious and weird decade. 80's joke never get old and this movie is proof of that. Every since The Hangover came out last year every comedy I've seen since has been compared to it, and HTTM didn't make me hurt myself laughing the way The Hangover did, but it still had those WTF LOL OMG moments that keep me laughing the entire time. There is some great stuff here, and really shouldn't be missed by anyone who loves to go to movies and have a laugh.
