Hot Tub Time Machine: Funny, Twisted 80′s Flick!

Hot Tub Time Machine opens this weekend and it’s on my list of must see movies!  As a child of the 80′s, this film had me at the first trailer.  Hot Tub stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke.

The story is simple and totally twisted: A hot-tub malfunction sends some friends back in time, allowing them to change the past.  John Cusack plays a dissatisfied fortyish dude whose girlfriend has dumped him and Rob Corddry is hilarious as Lou, the self-destructive screw-up of the bunch.  The LA Times review of this flick recommends leaving your logical mind at the door if you want to enjoy the Hot Tub Time Machine:

But frankly, a literal mind is not something that should be brought anywhere near this raunchy party. So if everyone will just check theirs at the door, “Hot Tub Time Machine” will in turn deliver nonstop political incorrectness; completely illogical special effects; a story line that at times makes absolutely no sense; Crispin Glover in one running sight gag that gets better instead of old; a crush of very cool ’80s references, Cusack chief among them; some gross-out moments that are genius, at least in the highly competitive world of R ratings. Oh and about a billion laughs (though “Hot Tub” is not for the faint of heart or anyone even slightly concerned with what’s happen to common decency these days).

Check out more about Hot Tub Time Machine on the movie’s website or watch this trailer below.  It’s shallow, it’s silly—it’s a perfect escape!
