4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Funny
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...

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but not memorable
First off let me say that I almost never give a movie a perfect score, and it would have to be damn good (either Oscar worthy or crazy funny) to get 4

I love all the actors in this movie and had really high hopes for it. There were of course the ridiculously funny scenes, but the movie felt overall thrown together in my opinion.

Definitely worth...

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.

Definitely worth a rental, and is good for a laugh. That said I'm glad I didn't see it in the theater and I don't really see myself buying it

Disappointing. With this cast and the interesting concept of traveling back in time into the 70's fashions, decor and lingo for a second chance in life it came out a real dud. It had to be real hard to mess up this one but they did. there are some good scenes and motif is an interesting flashback. Beyond that the story just didn't get off the ground.

I thought this flick would be lame but it turns out to be quite funny. Give it a chance, you won't be dissappointed especially if you experienced the 80's first hand.

4.0 out of 5 stars I had to rent this twice, December 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hot Tub Time Machine (Unrated) (Amazon Instant Video)
The previews for this movie led me to believe I wouldn't find this remotely interesting but after viewing I was pleasantly surprised. The concept seems a little outrageous but the humor kept me watching and in the end I had to re-rent this movie to show my friends. The BEST scene in my opinion is Craig Robinson's phone call (I won't spoil it). Overall, if you're okay with cursing, drinking, drugs, sex, time portals, and ignoring realism for the sake of enjoying watching the four men in their wild journey back to the past...then it's worth renting/buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome comedy!!, September 4, 2010

I think that Hot Tub Time Machine (Unrated) was very funny at times, however there were other times where it seemed rather idiotic. There spread far apart throughout the film, and there isn't many, but I think theres just enough to take away from the film.

Funny movie. Slow to start but once they go back in time its great. Enjoy some drinks and get ready to laugh. Great music from the 80s too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessarily crude and vulgar., September 9, 2010
This review is from: Hot Tub Time Machine (Unrated) (Amazon Instant Video)
The relationships between these characters is so violent and dysfunctional that it makes the movie completely unbelievable. Add to it the gratuitous amount of cursing, bad writing and a terrible premise and this movie was completely unwatchable.

I can appreciate crude humor from time to time. However, this movie was nothing but crude humor, at its worst. There are really NO redeeming qualities to this film.

I rented this from Block Buster, expecting it to be good. I heard generally positive reviews and never heard any complaints. My girlfriend and I took it home and watched part of it. Got about 45 mins into it and shut it down. There was absolutely no point to watching anymore.
