Hot Tub Time Machine: DVD Review
Hot Tub Time Machine
Released by Roadshow Entertainment
Rating: R16
John Cusack stars in this story of a group of
guys who've got various issues - John Cusack's Adam's just been dumped; Craig
Robinson's Nick has an unfaithful wife and a job that involves him sticking his
hand in dog's bottoms; Clark Duke is a teen who's going nowhere and Rob
Corddry's Lou has just tried to commit suicide.
Spurred into action by the suicide attempt, the quartet head to one
of their haunts from their past to live it up. But when they get there, they
find the party resort has gone down the dumps - and deciding to get drunk, the
guys head to the hot tub to party.
After a night's
decadence - and a shoe horned in plot device, they awake to find themselves back
in the 1980s and as younger versions of themselves at Winterfest 1986.
What can be said about this? The film finds its level
in the first few moments as Craig Robinson's failed musician pulls out a pair of
car keys from a dog's backside and throws them straight to its owner...subtle it
ain't.
Funny at times, it is though - a likeable cast give a frankly insane idea a
bit of life and the whole thing is just about carried off - if like the lads,
you've been drinking.

5/10
