For this log, I’ll be discussing ANOTHER movie I recently watched, called Hot Tub Time Machine. The movie is a 2010 science fiction adventure-comedy film, directed by Steve Pink. It stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, Crispin Glover, Kellee Stewart, Collette Wolfe, Crystal Lowe, Lizzy Caplan, and Chevy Chase.
Disappointed at the way their lives have turned out, four longtime friends reunite at a ski resort where they used to party when they were teenagers and suddenly find themselves transported back to the year 1986 by a magical jacuzzi time machine (....yeah, I don’t get it either). Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Jacob (Clark Duke) have all seen better days; Adam's and Nick's love lives are in the toilet, Lou is clinging to his hard-partying punk-ish past, and video-game addict Jacob can't even gather the courage to talk to a girl outside of the online world. A fun stay at the ski resort where the gang made some of their best memories seems like just the thing to cheer everybody up. After a night of heavy drinking in the hot tub outside their hotel room, the four friends wake up and find themselves back in 1986. However, determined not to make the same mistakes twice, Adam, Lou, Nick, and Jacob decide to take full advantage of the unique opportunity presented to them, and create the lives they've always wanted.
This movie wasn’t bad, but it really wasn’t good either. The only sci fi part about it is the time machine and the few mentionings of the butterfly effect. Other than that, it was pretty much like The Hangover. Lots of rude humor, drinking, partying, “livin’ it up”, sex, and the like. I didn’t really like it, though. Unless you’re the type of person who’s into those kinds of movies, I wouldn’t recommend it.
