HOT TUB TIME MACHINE (A-)

Starring: John Cusack, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, Crispin Glover and Chevy Chase

Story: Hot Tub Time Machine follows a group of best friends who've become bored with their adult lives: Adam has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou is a party guy who can't find the party; Nick's wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob won't leave his basement. After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads' pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures – one will find a new love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he still exists! (MGM)

Rated: R for strong crude and sexual content, nudity, drug use and pervasive language

Bottom Line: Four simple words: This years’ THE HANGOVER. Yeah, that’s right. HOT TUB TIME MACHINE goes so far off the map with tasteless humor, juvenile behavior and laugh-out-loud antics that it actually works – and works well. …and the best part is that all this ridiculousness is smartly delivered! Soak up and enjoy all this HOT TUB has to offer!
