I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually had a pretty good time getting tub’d – and I think you’ll have fun as well. To answer my earlier question, Hot Tub Time Machine is alright, with a few moments of true goodness. It’s actually far more raunchy than The Hangover, and not nearly as original. The twist here, I saw coming from the outset. The Hangover had a twist so brilliant that you kicked yourself for not seeing it coming. In terms of rating, I’d probably give The Hangover about a star more than this one.

So how does Hot Tub Time Machine fare with other, recent time travel films? Well, for me, it’s a better movie than The Time Traveler’s Wife.Īlthough not as good, this is a comedy in a similar style as The Hangover. Although nowhere near as good as Robert Zemeckis’s Back to the Future trilogy – which are some of my favourites and still a high point for time travel films – I think that’s a bit of an understatement. For John Cusack – a very talented actor who’s not been getting roles up to his talent level, this is actually sort of a comeback/throwback. There is a scene in the movie that has more ’80’s pop-culture references than that last paragraph, and it’s actually so blatant, it’s creative. Will people scream “I want my 2 (or in this case 12) dollars back?” It really all depends on how easily offended you are. Just be warned, if you give it your heart, all it really offers in return is a pen, but that’s more than enough for this critic to write his review.

And on the plus side, it moves at a quick enough pace, and didn’t leave me desperately wanting to go back to the future – when it will be over, nor did it leave me feeling that the whole “hot tub time machine” idea would have been better off dead. I could say anything about this film, and people will still go and see it. The film also has nods to The Shining, a shot of bare breasts, at least two scenes of projectile vomiting and other extreme gross-out gags. It’s also got references to 1980’s pop-culture of all stripes, including Back to the Future, Terminator and other things pertaining to time travel. Not sure why they take their clothes off first, but cue the Wild Hogs reference. They try to hire an escort, but she is not available, so they naturally decide to pile into the hot tub. So I can’t necessarily say it’s good, but definitely alright.įour guys from 2010 get together for a night of drinking and wild partying. But, despite a few genuinely creative scenes and truly hilarious bits of dialogue, its eagerness to gross us out makes us laugh in spite of ourselves. I laughed and cringed, yes, both good signs of a gross-out comedy. Is it good? Well, I don’t think good is the right word.

Hand soap isn’t quite the new hair gel, but Hot Tub Time Machine is still an aptly named, surprisingly alright new comedy for the mostly male teenaged/college crowd.
