Hot Tub Time Machine

Insane, strange and hilarious, that’s what I was thinking while watching this film.  A hot tub that is a time machine, what on earth?  This was just mental but I found it really funny, I don’t know why, it just kept making me laugh, maybe it was the whole story idea, the silliness of the actors or the 80′s wardrobe, but I have to admit, reluctantly, I liked it.

Firstly let me tell you what its about.  3 friends (John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry) and a nephew (Clark Duke) bored with their lives go on a weekend holiday to a ski resort, there they go into a hot tub which is actually a time machine and get transported back in time to 1986, they look the same to each other but to everyone else they are their 1986 selves, except the nephew who is not born yet but still appears there.  They decided that they have to play things as they did the first time to make sure they don’t not change the future, easy enough, nope.

Is this a comedy, yes it is funny, I admit it, its insane and funny.  Is it a good story, no, seriously a hot tub that is a time machine, but its funny.  They travel back to 1986 and the writing is like it was written in 1986, it was not good, acting was you know ‘eh’, I love John Cusack and have seen tons of his stuff and he acted like he was in 1986, so I guess it worked.  I do think you should go and see this, not because it a great film but because its an insane idea of  a film that is really funny, some scenes are laugh out load funny.
