Starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Chevy Chase
It's about damn time we had a comedy that didn't care about itself or take itself too serious. Believe me when I tell all you high brow people that think this looks stupid based on the previews, THAT'S THE IDEA!!!!!!!!! Ive heard a few people say this movie looks dumb and yet these are the same people that shovel over their money to go see whatever else Hollywood decides to spoon feed them and pass off as a comedy and for the most part it comes down to star power. There is no huge current comedic actor in the forefront and maybe that's the source of your skepticism. Trust me, the people involved are funnier than or at least as funny as Jim Carrey or Seth Rogan of late.
Story? Shut up. This is a strong R rating and pulls no punches in the raunch dept. There's your story. Even John Cusack himself said it best when he called this the best hot tub time machine movie of all time. Crispin Glover is fantastic with a one armed running gag and for enthusiast's his presence is no accident (think time travel movies). The same can be said about Tom Lennon and his early appearance (he too was in a movie of the same vein). These little nods are clever if you can pick up on them.
The soundtrack is another reason to sit back and enjoy if the 80s were your bag with the likes of Public Enemy, Motley Crue, INXS and others.
That brings us to the best eye candy of all, the outfits/hairstyles are bang on and the whole atmosphere reeks of 1986 and its a good reek.
Not only am I recommending this movie for anyone old enough for this to mean something but I am also eagerly awaiting a sequel for either the 70s or 90s.
