Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

Edit this Page
3 star rating THE Screened Review by Alex Navarro

Its absurd premise isn't entirely fulfilled, but the raunchy humor is raucous enough to make up for Hot Tub Time Machine's shortcomings.

Steve Pink Director previously directed Accepted

Four friends travel through time via a hot tub. This seems pretty self-explanatory.
Trivia:

In an interview, John Cusack stated that he made his decision to join the cast of this film almost entirely based off of the title.

Synopsis

 The namesake hot tub.  Let the high concept tomfoolery commence.
 The namesake hot tub.  Let the high concept tomfoolery commence.
After a freak carbon monoxide poisoning accident that everyone assumes was a suicide attempt nearly kills Lou, his friends Nick and Adam (and Adam's nephew Jacob) take him on a getaway to Kodiak Valley Ski resort.  Unfortunately the once epic resort town has become a rundown dive.  While sitting pathetically in the room in which the trio "had some of the best weekends of their lives,"  the outdoor hot tub suddenly comes alive -- presenting a wild night, and a trip through time back to the 80s.
