Hot Tub Time Machine

Hot Tub Time Machine was one of the most idiotic ideas I’ve ever heard for a movie yet it was surprisingly entertaining. It kept me laughing all the way through with its mix of gross-out comedy and witty one-liners. The different personalities of the four main characters give every member of the audience something to identify with, which always makes for a good movie.

The concept for the movie did not really appeal to me: four men visiting a hotel they went to in their younger days as an escape from their lives for the weekend. Getting wildly drunk and finding out the hot tub in their hotel room is a time machine; they return to 1986 and get the chance to do things differently.

I thought the plot was very similar to The Hangover although nowhere near as good, or extreme. However, still very amusing.

And for those who are currently following the 80s retro trend you are sure to enjoy the outrageous hair-dos, bright outfits and music included in the film. But even if you’re not into the 80s you can still laugh at how badly dressed they were!
