If you're expecting to see Howards End, Schindler's List or anything else serious, you need to go back and slap your high school English teacher. Hot Tub Time Machine promises to be ridiculous and it makes good on that promise.This show has a great cast, awesome tunes, wonderful eye candy, naked eye candy, some FX AND yes, the 80's were that hilariously awful.Kick back, get wasted and just enjoy this for what it is - juvenile nostalgia. This is a solid flick and is watchable every 2 - 3 years.

This movie is an amazing discovery. All the clichés, the old same jokes, and the recyclable characters in every comedy movie are here; a stupid story about three middle age best friends that travel to the past with one millennial antisocial nerd.Maybe describing this movie with all these elements might make it sound like a predictable and horrible comedy crap. But Hot Tub Time Machine has perfect timing jokes, the accurate pop culture reference and fabulous personalities in each character, that put together result in two hours of classic 00's comedy. Guaranteed. John Cusack is Adam, a frustrated and egocentric, mildly economically successful guy, that lives with his nephew Jacob (Clark Duke), a nerd that interacts with other people only in Second Life, in which he is also a loser. Then, one of his old friends, Lou (Rob Corddry), tries to commit suicide. So, Adam, Jacob, and Nick (Craig Robins) – other friend from high school, and the black guy every comedy needs- decide to take their suicidal and failed friend to Kodiak Valley, the pinnacle of youngster parties in the 80's, nowadays transformed into a decadent ghost town. Here is where this four underdogs find a hot tub that transports them to 1986, at the same Kodiak Valley camp. The three friends –Adam, Jacob and Lou- have to do exactly the same things they originally did in order to maintain the present undamaged. The other guy, Jacob, wasn't even born yet, so he just wants to go back to the present.Well, in their effort to keep the past unchanged, these three losers realize that they have the opportunity to transform their dreadful future with all the information they have. And that's exactly what they do, taking this movie to a happy, ridiculously and incredibly stupid ending; with a new master web searcher named Louggle included. You may think this is just bullshit, and that I can be easily amazed. But give it a try, believe me, Hot Tub Time Machine is the movie you're looking for when you don't have much to do.

Think of The Hangover in a time machine. This pretty much sums up this movie in a nutshell. If you're into the ridiculous, drunken, friendship/bonding humour of the Hangover, you will definitely enjoy this one. Hot Tub Time Machine surprised me in its genuine hilarity. I'll admit, the title doesn't sound too appealing and I honestly thought it would be some low budget lackluster try-hard movie that would have me cringing the whole way through with try-hard humour. But this isn't it at all. As another user commented, nowadays it's hard to pull off poop, sex and vomit humour all in one shot, but Hot Tub Time Machine pulls it off well.Must-see comedy for people who enjoy dumb humour and impossible, but hilarious plots.

I love this movie. It's funny, it's inventive, and it's never been done before. I love that it's time travel, but not a serious movie, it's one that makes you laugh, rather than think about the impossibilities of the situation. I think my favorite part is when everyone goes back to the present, and Lou has changed everything.In this movie, three friends, Adam, whose girlfriend just dumped him, Nick, who has a dead- end job and a cheating wife, and Lou, a suicidal alcoholic, are all in need of something. When Lou tries to kill himself, the three, and Adam's nephew, Jacob, all go to the last place the three were really happy. A Winter resort that they went to when they were eighteen. It was their party place and is now a dump. But when they all start drinking in their hot tub, they wake up in 1986, in their younger bodies, and they get the chance to relive the best time of the their lives. Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
