Review of Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) by Filius S — 13 Dec 2015

Hot Tub Time Machine is the story of a bunch of guys whose lives all suck; one lost his girlfriend, the other has a shit job and the last one is an alcoholic. After nearly dying in what appeared to be a suicide attempt, the group decides to team up and go to a winter resort to have some good old fashioned fun at their old stomping ground.

The resort, it turns out, has seen better days. Everything is a mess and there's nobody around except a creepy dude with one hand. The team decides to say fuck it, and they end up getting white girl wasted in a hot tub, which magically teleports them all back to the 80's so that they can have a new shot at life.

The movie is surprisingly funny, with Darryl from the Office and Rob Corddry delivering a good amount of laughs; hell, even John Cusack, an actor I normally hate, does a great job.

TL;DR - 8/10.

This movie was surprisingly funny. I went in expecting another half-assed Hollywood comedy for the masses, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. If you want some low-brow comedy and a decent by-the-numbers plot, then you've found your film for the night.
