javed_rehman-756-907363 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.
sol- Exactly what one would expect from the title, this vibrant comedy involves four men who travel back to 1986 after spilling an energy drink over the control panel of their hot tub. The humour is very hit and a miss with tiring gross-out gags like vomiting on a squirrel and spraying urine, however, the film has an undeniable charm as the characters rationalise their time travel conundrum by debating movies such as 'The Terminator', 'Timecop' and 'The Butterfly Effect'. The early stages of their journey are fascinating too as they initially try to relive everything they experienced themselves in 1986 to avoid altering the future with many key incidents (like being stabbed with a fork) nevertheless still occurring even when they deviate from the past. This suggests a 'Twelve Monkeys' view (the past and future cannot be altered), with the film only gradually adopting a more 'Back to the Future' sense of time wherein the characters have the chance to alter their fortunes. Whatever the case, the film is entertaining all the way with a genuine feel for the 1980s and some truly uncanny moments like one character ringing up and verbally abusing his then preteen wife. The principal cast are good too. Chevy Chase is wasted, however, in a cameo role that does not really make sense. Crispin Glover on the other hand is a delight with a funny running gag in which everyone expects his arm to get severed at any moment. The film also concludes with a memorable, life-affirming message, to "embrace the chaos" of life - something that its characters gradually learn to do.
witster18 If I could leave a one-word review - that would be it. HTTM has many laugh-out-loud moments.4 friends go back to a ski resort to re-live teens, but actually end up doing-it, literally.Before we talk more about this - pass on the sequel. It gets too ridiculous and too crass, and misses Cusak for sure.HTTM accomplishes a lot more than say,"Take Me Home Tonight(4/10)" in terms of paying homage to the 80's. TMHT missed the mark completely. Here, the dress, the music, and many other ideas are perfect.The film is paced perfectly, and as ridiculous as it all seems, it still works. Lots of connect-the-dots sub-plots involving and connecting both timelines, and good there's solid character development and chemistry as well.Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson steal the comedic moments, while Cusak holds everything together as the best actor and the leader of the group. Overall, this film isn't going to win any awards, and there have been much better films on the subject(Back to the Future), but HTTM gets props for sheer fun without going too far over the top, or crass in the process.Mild thumbs up. 63/100
Mr-Fusion There's something promising in "Hot Tub Time Machine"'s premise, like a movie built on a really funny gag. What's really disappointing about it is that it's just a series of tired jokes and none of them hit it out of the park. Give me a base-hit, something. Instead of transporting the leads\ characters to 1986, it sends 'em to an '80s themed party - MTV, ALF, Reagan and some retro merch from Hot Topic; referential sitcom stuff. I'm actually surprised with this being John Cusack at a ski lodge, there's no "Better Off Dead" shout-out. The trailer made this look pretty good, but this needed more Lizzy Caplan and less (monumentally) obnoxious Rob Corddry.This just didn't work for me.4/10
