Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)
Director: Steve Pink
Writers: Josh Heald, Sean Anders, and John Morris
Rated: R
Cast: John Cusack, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, and Rob Corddry
When Lou (Corddry) nearly kills himself in a drunken stupor, his buddies decide to take him on a getaway in a ski town for some male bonding. In their first night they take a dip in an alluring hot tub, and after a wild night of partying they wake up to a series of strange occurrences leading up to the fact that they’ve just found a hole in time through said hot tub. Sound crazy? Well it is, but it’s hilarious. The team of Cusack, Robinson, Corddry, and newcomer Duke have the perfect chemistry with each other. The 80′s humor, raunchiness, and time-travel fantasy elements all work together to make this flick an entertaining ride. The bottom line: it’s a raunchy slapstick buddy movie that I found more enjoyable and effective than The Hangover.
