Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)
Three friends on losing streaks: Adam (John Cusack), whose girlfriend dumped him, Nick (Craig Robinson), with a dead-end job and a cheating wife, and Lou (Rob Corddry), a suicidal alcoholic. To help Lou recover from car-exhaust poisoning, Adam and Nick, with Adam's nephew Jacob (Clark Duke), go to a winter resort that was their old party place back in the days. It's now a dump, but the men get together anyway for a night of drinking in the hot tub. Somehow, the hot tub takes them back to 1986, on a fateful night for each of them. Maybe if they do everything the same way they did that night, they'll get back to the future so Jacob can be born. There are serious temptations to do things differently, and at times, it is hard for them to resist such temptation. Overall, I thought that this was a decent movie. It had some funny moments, but I'd generally classify this as a stupid comedy, and I've never really been a huge fan of stupid comedies. I guess you could say that I prefer romantic comedies. Anyway, it was somewhat entertaining to watch, but I don't think that I'd ever bother to watch this movie again.
I gave this movie 6/10 stars on imdb.com.
