Hot Tub Time Machine english movie review
A group of best friends have become bored with their adult lives: Adam has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou is a party guy who can't find the party; Nick's wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob won't leave his basement. After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to..
. Ready for a Hangover that isn't quite so heady? Go for Hot Tub...another male bonding film that sees the guys unwind with loads of four letter word fun and games. Of course, the jokes here are less wild and the humour not so uproarious, nevertheless there are some guys-will-be-guys gags that keep the laughter flowing intermittently.
John Cusack and Craig Robinson have enough problems in their lives. Yet, when they find out that their friend Rob Corddry tried to commit suicide (he didn't actually) they decide to give their troubles a go-by and take their depressed friend on a vacation to the ski town where they found love and longing. When a malfunctioning hot tub doubles up as a time machine, they find themselves in the midst of people and situations from the past and try and change the course of events to their advantage. Can they mess with time really? Can they stop their girl friends and wives from cheating on them in the future?
The retro scenes do have a comic feel to it, nevertheless, Hot Tub Time Machine lacks the panache of time travel films like Back To The Future. The laughs too come in fits and starts.
