Featured review
Hot Tub Time Machine is a great movie with a ridiculous but very funny storyline and a very comedic cast.I mostly enjoyed Craig Robinson in this movie,he isn't a very well known actor,but I really like him in everything i've seen him in,he's a good actor and also very funny,I also really enjoyed John Cusack,i've only seen him in serious roles in the past and I was surprised that he was so good at delivering a funny performance in this.Chevy Chase did a great job in this,but he needed to be in it a lot more,when you manage to get a comedy actor as big as this in your movie,you need to give them more screen time.I was also surprised with the heart in this movie,I thought it would be an American Pie type of comedy,but it was actually very heartwarming at times and I got really attached to these characters.Fans of very goofy comedies will definitely enjoy this movie and will be laughing out loud.
Four discontented men are taken back to the 1980's by a hot tub in their hotel suite,and they must be careful not to change anything before the repairman (Chevy Chase) can get the hot tub working again.
