Movie Review: Hot Tub Time Machine


And the good times keep on 'a rolling! I was interested in this movie, but was really scared that it was gonna suck. Too bad I didn't have anything to worry about. Four friends got away for the weekend when their lives are almost too shitty to bear, when they are given a chance to go back to the 80's and live one of their most epic weekends all over again. Are there consequences to going back in time? Will things work out better the second time around? Only "time" will tell (wow, that was punny, I'm sorry... but really I'm not). John Cusack was awesome... as usual (duh!) Craig Robinson was effin hilarious, proving once again that he has what it takes to be part of the comedic A-List of the new millennium. Clark Duke, who I truly enjoyed in Sex Drive (watch it if you haven't!!!) delivered another great performance here as he traveled back to the weekend of his conception. And Rob Corddry was perfect as the downer in the group with a lot to prove, or not. All this, and a supporting cast that includes Chevy Chase, Lizzy Caplan, and Crispin Glover makes this movie a great watch, and a whole lot of time-traveling fun!

I give Hot Tub Time Machine an 8 outta 10.
