Funnier than The Hangover, with more heart than you'd guess, and yet still over-rated. Hot Tub Time Machine earns a hard R rating with ample nudity and an almost uncomfortable amount of drug-use for a light-weight comedy. Provided this doesn't pose a problem there is a lot to enjoy in this film, but very little to warrant a repeat viewing. Chevy Chases' role doesn't even come close to Bill Murray's epic Zombie Land cameo, much less achieve the laughs hyped up by the critics. This film is at its best when it isn't trying too hard, which is disappointingly seldom. A killer soundtrack brings more life to this story than the cast ever could, but there are enough laughs here to make it worth your while if all you're looking for is a goofy, ridiculous comedy. Watch it, but don't buy it.
