Hot Tub Time Machine is about three longtime friends Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry) and Nick (Craig Robinson) who's life's together have drifted apart. Adam girlfriend leaves him in an empty house just him and his 20 something year old nephew Jacob (Clark Duke) who lives in his basement. The friends reunited after Lou accidental suicide attempt. Adam convinces Lou to accompany him and Nick to revisit there old ski resort they went to 24 years ago. After arriving at the resort they see alot of changes, and how the lodge is not the same. Upset of the condition of the lodge, they decided to get in the hot tub outside their room, jumping in naked. Drinking all kinds of alcohol, and some illegal Russian red bull brought by Lou, they mistakenly spills all over the control panel, which transfers the guys back in time, to the lodge's "WinterFest '86", an event that changed their young lives for ever. They believe they must do the exact things they did during that fateful weekend 24 yrs ago in order for them to return back to 2010.
This hilarious storyline has a few unreal moments, but with the great pop-culture of the mid-80s, everything is forgiven. You will love these characters, and it great looking back to a fun decade.
I give this movie 4 stars.
