Hot Tub Time Machine (Quick Review)

Rating: ★★½☆☆

Literally. There is a hot tub that is also a time machine. As a product, it is genius. As a premise for a comedy, it has great potential. Here, four losers are accidentally sent to the 80’s and are in need for an escape, but not before they mess around with their past that could alter their future. The characters are lovable; I just wished they were doing more lovable things.

Many jokes and gags are in reference to the time difference, and most of them are very funny. (Prevent Miley Cyrus? A-ha!) But unfortunately, even more jokes and gags are without any regard to its premise, and most of them are vulgar and unfunny. I do not hate this movie. It has laughs. I’m just sad it didn’t exploit all the comedy it could get from such a rare and legendary item: a hot tub that is also a time machine.
