A Review Of The Film Hot Tub Time Machine

By Rose Good

You should always be pretty well aware of the major releases coming to DVD. Comedy movies are no exception, and it seems that, as of late, there have been several different comedy movies that have made an impact. One of these movies would most certainly be "Hot Tub Time Machine" for many different reasons.

By reading through this particular article, you are committing to learn a little more about this film through a few different methods. More than anything though, you are going to get a breakdown of the plot and learn a little more about the sequence of events that made this film so epic in its own right. You will also get a brief introduction to some of the top names in this film and who they play.

This film opens up on what life is like right now for a group of middle aged men. Life has passed them by for the most part, and what is left of it does not seem to be shaping up that well for them. It chronicles the failing relationships of three of what are the main characters of the film: Adam (John Cusack), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Lou (Rob Corddry).

After another night of hard drinking, Lou decides that life for him is over and attempts to end his. He leaves his car running, drinking heavily and rocking out to Motley Crue sitting in the driver's seat of the car parked in the closed garage. Nick and Adam meet up at the hospital after Lou was found, and returned to health. They realize that their friendship has been compromised and to get it back, they are taking a trip to Kodiak Valley Ski Resort, where they have very fond memories.

However, time has not been kind to the resort, and it is all but a dump right now. Without many options, they decide to all get into the hot tub out back and through a strange sequence of events manage to turn that same hot tub into a time machine. Next thing they know, they are living in the eighties once again. They even look as they did, when they experienced this same Winterfest '86 decades before.

They determine through the help of a creepy repairman (Chevy Chase) that they are going to have to be careful about what they do in the eighties again. Changes could dramatically alter the course of history, and they don't want to do that. Adam is going to have to break up with the girl he has forever since considered to have been "the one", Lou is going to have to get beaten up by some pompous ski patrol guy, and Nick is going to have to cheat on his wife with a groupie for his band, though he is not married in 1986.

Winterfest '86 takes its toll on the characters, though, and they decide that maybe they can change things this time around. Through a little bit of dumb luck and chance, the group finds out a lot more about their lives, what could have been, and what they didn't even realize.

If you were planning on checking out "Hot Tub Time Machine", you are making a very good call. If you loved the eighties, than this film is for you. If you love great jokes and outlandish humor, than this movie is for you. If you just like to laugh hard, this movie is one that you will watch a time or two. - 40729
