Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

wogsurfer If you were transported in back in time to where the most significant moments of your life happened, and they lead to life not working out so well, would you take the opportunity to change things?This is the conundrum most time travel themed films pose, but never with a deliberate outcome like Hot Tub Time Machine.After nearly committing suicide in his garage Lou (Corddry) is taken back to the place of where some of the wildest moments took place in his youth, Kodiak Valley Ski resort by his former best friends Nick (Robinson); a dog groomer whose wife cheated on him, and Adam (Cusack); whose ex-girlfriend has made his life hell.Disappointed that the resort is not the same wild party place they knew from the 80's, they decide that a night spent drinking in the hot tub is their best option, somehow they are transported back to 1986 and must relive a fateful night, plus also make sure Adam's nephew Jacob (Duke), who has tagged along for the trip, is born. What follows are a series of events that lead to a showdown with a resort cop with delusions of grandeur and a climax that comes somewhat expected, but also left me a little surprised when I first saw it, it's also the source of a bit of a paradox for mine.Time travel movies for me present questions about actions and consequences, and also looking at the road taken in the film for the story, but also other roads that could have been taken, and the results it may have made. I also often think about traveling back in time, and seeing the younger selves of my parents, and seeing first hand the events in their lives that have lead to the reasons for how they deal with things in the present.Paradoxes in the story left me with some questions, but they don't really need exploring because of the hilarious nature of the film. I also don't think this film was meant to pose any deep and meaningfuls, but it could make you think about what some of the consequences of time travel may lead to, good or bad.

kosmasp Not an instant classic, but a lot of fun to watch. I think you can summarize it like that. The main actors are doing a great job selling the very silly idea of time traveling with or rather inside a hot tub! If you get sucked into that, everything else will work too. But if you don't like that general idea ... Maybe you shouldn't watch the movie after all and save yourself the time (and grief).It's hilarious and it has heart, even when it's gross at times. Which it can be, but it's easy to tolerate and forgive it for those little moments, because it actually is funny. Trying to figure out how it actually works (the physics of the time travel) would probably lead into a territory the movie would not want you to go ... and why would you want to ruin your own enjoyment ... if you're having fun watching - stick with it

hoxjennifer Think of The Hangover in a time machine. This pretty much sums up this movie in a nutshell. If you're into the ridiculous, drunken, friendship/bonding humour of the Hangover, you will definitely enjoy this one. Hot Tub Time Machine surprised me in its genuine hilarity. I'll admit, the title doesn't sound too appealing and I honestly thought it would be some low budget lackluster try-hard movie that would have me cringing the whole way through with try-hard humour. But this isn't it at all. As another user commented, nowadays it's hard to pull off poop, sex and vomit humour all in one shot, but Hot Tub Time Machine pulls it off well.Must-see comedy for people who enjoy dumb humour and impossible, but hilarious plots.

Taylor Kingston I love this movie. It's funny, it's inventive, and it's never been done before. I love that it's time travel, but not a serious movie, it's one that makes you laugh, rather than think about the impossibilities of the situation. I think my favorite part is when everyone goes back to the present, and Lou has changed everything.In this movie, three friends, Adam, whose girlfriend just dumped him, Nick, who has a dead- end job and a cheating wife, and Lou, a suicidal alcoholic, are all in need of something. When Lou tries to kill himself, the three, and Adam's nephew, Jacob, all go to the last place the three were really happy. A Winter resort that they went to when they were eighteen. It was their party place and is now a dump. But when they all start drinking in their hot tub, they wake up in 1986, in their younger bodies, and they get the chance to relive the best time of the their lives. Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
