"It's like some kind of...hot tub time machine..."
At its core, Hot Tub Time Machine is Back to the Future mixed with The Hangover, featuring the team of John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke and Craig Robinson travelling back through time via a hot tub and some Russian Red Bull. Time-travelling using a DeLorean may make more sense, but it would be best not to ponder it too deeply - ... read more
Surprisingly funny and enjoyable. Did not take itself too seriously, had a clever nod to the back in time genere's and some truly funny moments. I watched it late at night and it kept my interest. The tension with the man bellhop who lost his arm was genius.
Description:HOT TUB TIME MACHINE follows a group of best friends who’ve become bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob (Clark Duke) won’t leave his basemHOT TUB TIME MACHINE follows a group of best friends who’ve become bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob (Clark Duke) 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.

"Do you remember when I was 12 and he tried to bite me."
"Yeah, but you had that coming."
Rob Corddry should have gotten way more comedy offers after this film than he got. He was hilarious here and i don't think i have seen him in anything major since. Just a lot of small roles. He does have his own TV show though that he stars in and also writes and produce so maybe that is one of the reasons. Hopefully when that show is over he can get some more big movie roles.

The Fan Theory: The characters don’t travel back in time… they’re actually in limbo, with Lou having successfully killed himself before the trip.
Why It’s Mind-Blowing: There aren’t actually four characters at all… the four protagonists represent four aspects of Lou’s personality, who eventually find their own versions of heaven by the end. Yeah, this one is quite in-depth for a comedy…"

"Yes exactly. You step on the bug and the fucking internet is never invented."

This was just OK. Most of the jokes were just mildly f"

Not gonna give a big review on this it's a cheap comedy that I watched with my friend over some beers and whiskey, I liked it a lot considering I haven't seen many good comedies in a while, this one stands out as being just different enough to enjoy on future occasions."
