"Hot Tub Time Machine", four words that will either right from the start get you interested in seeing a freaking funny ass flick,or you think its the dumbest name in the history of films and theres no way anyone over the age of 14 will think its fun.For me,the moment I heard of the title and then saw the preview and saw that John "Seriously...Fuck Off Jeremy Piven" Cusack I was hooked.For the snobby assholes out there who think a riotous comedy is the next Jane"I've Been Fucking Dead For 200 Years And Not Getting Shit For All These Damn Adaptations With Keira Knightly In Them....And Zombies...WTF??" Austin adaptation...well if pompous English people talking incessantly while standing around in period gear is your idea of fun..FUCK YOU!!
This movie is really funny.the perfect way to describe it would be a combination of "The Hangover" meets "Back to the Future".Also let me state its great to see Cusack back in and over the top funny comedy.For the last 10 years (at least) when he has done comedy its been romantic comedies,or very dark comedies....this is his first really just ridiculously over the top comedies for him since "Better Off Dead" in the 80's,and its his funniest film since "Gross Pointe Blank"...so glad to see him doing something that's just different than the stuff he's been doing.Here's hoping he tries some more.
The jest of the plot....well unless your a total fucktard...seriously,with a title like "Hot Tub Time Machine" do I really have to go into it?? Anyways lets just say that Cusack and his best buds (featuring Rob "I'm Frickin Awesome...Seriously Comedy Central,Fuck Jon Stewart...I'm The Shit" Cordry and Craig "Yeah I'm That Big Black Guy Who Keeps Popping Up In All The Recent Comedies,Including "Knocked Up"...But Dammit They Are Always Small Parts,But I'm A Hell Of A Lot Funnier Than That Bitch Katherine Heigle"Robinson) are starting to drift apart,but because Cordry was drunk in his garage with the car running and the door shut while singing "Home Sweet Home" and ends up in the hospital,they get reunited,and because Cordry's character is such an ass munch to everyone,they are basically stuck with him,and decide to cheer him up by taking him to their old stomping grounds from when they were young.Its an old ski resort called Kodiak Valley....and lets just say....Kodiak Valley has seen its better days.
At the resort they end up getting ridiculously drunk in a hot tub,and somehow end up back in 1986....yeah I know it sounds silly,but go with it....besides....is a Delorean Time Machine really that much different in terms of ridiculousness?? I think not....This film is a trip.Its got appearances by Crispin "Yeah I Know I Kinda Come Across As A Pedophile" Glover,who by the way hasn't fricking aged much since the 80's....seriously I saw parts of "Back To The Future" a week ago,and he really looks about the same as he did when he was playing papa Mcfly.And it also has an appearance by Chevy Chase,who doesnt have a ton to do,but gets a few funny lines in.
Look,I haven't laughed as hard at film as the I did watching this,since I first saw "The Hangover",so if you want to see something that will let you have a good time and is actually very funny see this.If you don't want to see this because you don't like over the top humor,and/or the title just sounds stupid....but gee that one with Jennifer "She Is Basically A Female Greg Kinnear,But Has Been Luckier With Getting The Right Ensemble Comedies In The Past,And She Used To Fuck Brad Pitt," Aniston really looks good...than what the hell are you doing looking at this blog??? Anyways get your asses out and go see this film,you'll laugh your ass off.
