Four pals are stuck in a rut in adulthood: Adam has just been dumped, Lou is a hopeless party animal, Craig is a henpecked husband, and Jacob does nothing but play video games in his basement. But they get a chance to brighten their future by changing their past after a night of heavy drinking in a ski-resort hot tub results in their waking up in 1986.

It's fun! It's corny, cheesy, serious, romantic kinda, gives you a slice of what would i do in that scenario, and a great friendship story. So much better than what was expected.

If you were transported in back in time to where the most significant moments of your life happened, and they lead to life not working out so well, would you take the opportunity to change things?This is the conundrum most time travel themed films pose, but never with a deliberate outcome like Hot Tub Time Machine.After nearly committing suicide in his garage Lou (Corddry) is taken back to the place of where some of the wildest moments took place in his youth, Kodiak Valley Ski resort by his former best friends Nick (Robinson); a dog groomer whose wife cheated on him, and Adam (Cusack); whose ex-girlfriend has made his life hell.Disappointed that the resort is not the same wild party place they knew from the 80's, they decide that a night spent drinking in the hot tub is their best option, somehow they are transported back to 1986 and must relive a fateful night, plus also make sure Adam's nephew Jacob (Duke), who has tagged along for the trip, is born. What follows are a series of events that lead to a showdown with a resort cop with delusions of grandeur and a climax that comes somewhat expected, but also left me a little surprised when I first saw it, it's also the source of a bit of a paradox for mine.Time travel movies for me present questions about actions and consequences, and also looking at the road taken in the film for the story, but also other roads that could have been taken, and the results it may have made. I also often think about traveling back in time, and seeing the younger selves of my parents, and seeing first hand the events in their lives that have lead to the reasons for how they deal with things in the present.Paradoxes in the story left me with some questions, but they don't really need exploring because of the hilarious nature of the film. I also don't think this film was meant to pose any deep and meaningfuls, but it could make you think about what some of the consequences of time travel may lead to, good or bad.

This film isn't exactly original, the concept has been done to death but I found myself sucked in regardless of that fact. It has some well written jokes, some funny one-liners and some proper, good comedic timing. It's silly and ridiculous in a meta kind of way. For example, when the excellent Craig Robinson says 'looks like some kind of...' and then he pauses, looks directly at the camera and says 'hot tub time machine'. Robinson delivers the line absolutely perfectly.I don't think the creators of this film could have anticipated how much of a hit this was. It was unexpected, truly. I was late to watch it as I wasn't really interested when it was first out but I heard great things. It's not magnificent to be real and it's got lots of macho, eye- rollingly dumb sexist jokes but overall, I enjoyed this. It's good for a lazy, hungover Saturday and will give a few laughs, if not least for Rob Corddry's manic nonsense or Crispin Glover's hilarious sub plot and the mystery of how that poor dude lost his arms. Clark Duke was sweet in this, John Cusack was pointless and ordinary, Craig Robinson his usual deadpan, hilarious self (at one point he says, and this is too real, 'The 80's? Man, I HATE this decade, how am I supposed to get a job?') and there's a cameo from Chevy Chase as the weird, time- machine spirit guide guy that only Jacob can see.Nothing ground-breaking but worth a watch.
