Hot Tub Time Machine stars John Cusack as a man who along with his nephew and two best friends go to an old ski resort but they manage to find an old hot tub, which is also a time machine.
Time Travel has always been an interesting genre in film but not the easiest to make work either, some like the first two Terminator movies make it work but most flounder, which is also the case here as for the most part I found this movie to be fowl and obnoxious as well as a little on the predictable side, Cusack is good but the scene stealer is Chevy Chase, looking like he's crawled out of the Jurassic era but is also sadly seen too little, I also was reminded of the first Back to the Future film and in all honesty, you're better off renting that instead as this film suffers from an identity crisis, wanting to be both Back to the Future and last year's The Hangover rolled into one.
1 and a half out of 5.
