"What the heck is this? This trailer looks so dumb. It doesn't even appear to be entertaining," I thought, as I watched the trailer.
But, since I was able to obtain admission to a screening event, I invited a few friends to watch the flick.
Boy, was I mistaken.
Boy, was I mistaken.
The reason that I found the trailer to be so lackluster is because 95% of the movie cannot be shown on broadcast television.
To their credit, there is an R-rated trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine. Note: There is a gag age verification box that requires that you keep trying to show "how badly you want it". Also, the trailer is rated R, so expect everything that comes with rated R, i.e. language, nudity, drugs, and adult comedy.
The story is a simple one, but a great setup for some hilarity.
Four childhood friends are discovering that their middle aged lives suck.
To share and re-live their wild youth, they take a teenage boy to Kodiak Ski Resort, the site of their wildest teen weekend.
There they inadvertently enter a hot tub time machine and travel back to the '80s. Many viewers will recognize themselves at this party. Here, they are torn between re-living the painful parts of their youth in order to save the space-time continuum, or to correct their regrets with the advantage of years of experience.The laughs are abundant and frequent, and I recommend this movie for a fun, however comedically offending, time.
