I’ve watched both the Back To The Future boxset many times, and I’ve always wondered – What if it was a 15, with breasts and booze? What if John Cusack was in it, and also that bald one from The Daily Show?
Well, Hot Tub Time Machine is here, and it has everything I’ve asked for, and a bit more.
Nick and Adam are reunited with an old mate, Lou. They recapture their youth with a booze weekend at an old ski lodge. The ski lodge has a hot tub. It happens to be a time machine.
I’m not going to mention plotlines, reasons, etc. but the film is stupid, gross, very funny (in places) and offers bursts of 1980s nostalgia.
It’s better than The Hangover, has touches of Back To The Future, The Butterfly Effect, American Pie, and Chevy Chase. What more do you need?
