Hot Tub Time Machine

Last year’s hit The Hangover was the ultimate return of the guy comedy. Possibly one of the funniest movies ever, it even went on to win a Golden Globe. As is to be expected, filmmakers will try to emulate their triumph, and few will succeed.

Hot Tub Time Machine falls somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t fail, but it’s not going to become a classic guy flick either. Four 40-something guys make a pilgrimage back to the seedy 70s-style resort they stayed at when they were in their prime (pre wives, kids, lawnmower, etc.). Somehow, while drinking in the hot tub, they are magically transported back to the 80s. They don’t get younger, though, even though everyone around them does. You can imagine then it’s rather awkward when one of the guys runs into his sexy, youthful mom.

You get the gist – it’s a silly, manly comedy full of hot chicks and beer. What else could a man ask for?

Rating: 3 outta 5.
