Hot Tub Time Machine hits the bull's-eye: it's a rude, crude comedy with enough smarts and emotional sweetness to make it completely entertaining. Seeking to bring some youthful optimism back to their failed, miserable lives, three middle-aged guys--Adam (John Cusack), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Lou (Rob Corddry)--go to a mountain resort where they spent some of their wildest days (reluctantly dragging along Adam's nephew, Jacob, played by newcomer Clark Duke). A drunken accident in the titular hot tub sends them swirling back to 1986, where each of them decides to risk changing the future (and possibly erasing Jacob from existence) by doing things just a little differently. A plot summary doesn't capture the movie's rambunctious, daffy spirit as much as… well, the ridiculous title: this is a movie called Hot Tub Time Machine! Any expectation you may have will be met and surpassed. John Cusack delivers another underplayed yet marvelously funny performance, his best since High Fidelity; Clark Duke, from the TV show Greek, proves a promising young comic talent. But the movie really belongs to Robinson and Corddry, who've been floating around the edges of tons of comedies--some have been good, some have been bad, but they've both been consistently funny even in crappy movies. Hot Tub Time Machine gives them center stage and lets them reveal the comic chaos they can deliver. It helps, but is not necessary, to have lived through the '80s to find Hot Tub Time Machine exquisitely silly. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

Get ready to kick some serious past with the wildly inappropriate unrated version of Hot Tub Time Machine. The outrageous laughs bubble up when four friends share a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, only to wake up with serious hangovers in 1986 – back when girls wore leg warmers, guys watched Red Dawn and Michael Jackson was black! Now, nice-guy Adam (John Cusack), party animal Lou (Rob Corddry), married man Nick (Craig Robinson) and mega-nerd Jacob (Clark Duke) must relive a wild night of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll and try to change their future – forever!

4.0 out of 5 stars You know what? April 2, 2010

By Tejana

Format:DVD

I really wanted to hate this movie. When my friend opted for this on "husband-has-the-kids-tonight" night, I mostly agreed just to use up a free ticket. Yes, it is crude, and it is lewd and it's totally socially unacceptable. Having said that, I laughed 'til my sides hurt. I've not laughed this hard since Blazing Saddles. It is that good. Don't take the kids, don't take the parents, don't take bosses or members of clergy - just go, laugh and feel free to revel in the silliness. A bit of warning - when they say 'Rated R' they're serious...strong language and sex.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Funny September 2, 2010

By Stephanie L. Marushia

Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase

I expected this movie to be ridiculous & stupid and was pleasantly surprised. It's not intellectual humor, but we laughed out loud quite a few times and we're pretty picky about movies. I do think it's better for someone over 29 and under 55 - most of the humor and fun in this movie comes from the 80's flashback. If you sit back and relax instead of trying to pick it apart for accuracy (I'm usually a geek who will Google whether or not that particular Walkman would have been released in the time period they are claiming), you'll probably enjoy it.

It's silly, stupid, fun - kind of like the old National Lampoon movies (the Chevy Chase ones, not the awful contemporary interpretation of NL). It would be fun to watch while sitting around with a few beers with old friends who remember the time period also. A drinking game or two wouldn't hurt either. For once I didn't regret paying for a money before it came out on HBO or Showtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funnier every time! November 5, 2012

By A. Churchill

Format:DVD

This movie is hilarious! Saw it in theaters the first time, loved it, forgot about it. Redboxed it, watched it 3 or 4 more times, loved it more. Every time I watch it, I see or hear something I missed before. As a huge Cusack fan, I expected him to be my favorite, and he is great- but Rob Corddry and Clark Duke steal the show.

You will probably appreciate this movie a whole lot more if you lived through the 80s, I especially loved the soundtrack-very nostalgic. Do not let the kids watch this one. The Comedy Central version has to bleep out pretty much everything Corddry says.
