Hot Tub Time Machine Review


Easy borrowing from the 1985 Back to the Future , MGM's new time travel comedy hot tub time machine of 3 old friends - Adam ( John Cusack ), Nick ( Craig Robinson ) and the House of Representatives, also known as criminals ( Rob Corddry) - who along with Adam's teenage nephew Jacob ( Clark Duke), found himself back after I do not know, in 1986, when the overflow of the beverage, a hot water bath to control the original is a time machine.

There, trapped in the Miami Vice era, Ronald Reagan, Jheri curl and poisons, the three friends, see other people as their own young. They did not do anything that might mess up your space, continuous change in the future, so there experiencing the traumatic event, they experienced in 1986. Along the way, though, they began to understand how to better live, if they do not change the current course of history. Do they dare?

Despite so many strikes against it, hot tub time machine, the result is an interesting, though deeply flawed comedy. This really should not work, and information technology: the film is in the 80's came out a few years ago seems to have the upper hand, it is also a shameless ripoff deceptive lie, I'm sorry, access back to the future, time to take comedy King, one of the best types of movies in the 80s. In fact, every major defeat reflected the film here, and hot tub openly acknowledged their debt BTTF by the casting Crispin Glover in the role of a nagger, an armed waiter (his best film Award for the effective operation of gags).

Recovery of many of the same hot water bath (now) time travel movie metaphor began BTTF, later used in other types of movies. For example: do not want to screw up the space and time changing history? Check. Run an old friend and enemy? Check. To find a loved one drunk and / or slut? Check. Ensure that the people who need love to do? Check. To prevent people from there have not been erased? Check. Make fun of the style, slang, music and entertainment of the time? Check. We even have an accident and the band crowd. All of these are smart BTTF came out 25 years ago, but we also know that this rhythm.
It is very difficult, do not expect or want screws and spatial characteristics, directly back to see how cruddy the existence of his own life only one with any real stake in the film, and then Jacob, who - like Marty McFly - to ensure that he remains At the end of his adventure. If the other three characters, they prepared some back to this, do not want to change their action '86? Have no real interest in life is stressful or nowhere to go but up. However, in the hot tub to slow down, or tired of planning, it makes some of the ground, because of its actors. In fact, the chemical and charismatic leader may be the best thing, the film has been going on. Corddry steals the show as the self-destruction, hate the floor, not a headbanger hair. He brings a lot of energy, suddenly, a touching that lovely losers. Robinson has several key scenes, the film's biggest laugh some, but here the outbreak of the Duke as sort nerdier, less hate Jonah Hill type who is often the only voice of reason. The only cast member who seems to take the first step, the original is John Cusack, who also produced.

Maybe he is pulling double-duty membrane tired, but looked tired, the body also Cusack - he called his performance. Regards itself as the 20th century, 80s icon, Cusack's reputation brought some valuable time to the project (see if you can catch up with a better economic environment, the death of reference here), but his character is The most inspiring bunch, and Cusack seems that only his own people, to make up the screen on the back of it. Alas, this does not always work. He is very good, not "open" as his co-star. As the oldest of the crew (and forward-looking of the three oldest friends), which is a little confidence to buy Cusack as the modern Robinson and Corddry's. He seems to think that he should be their brother's best friend, but not them. (It may be better to see all reunion is set to 80.)
