Last week my friend Cavan treated me to the movies, we went to the AMC at down town Disney. This theater is one of the best in Orange County, parking sucks, but there is never a long line for tickets, and the plush seats lean back. After checking online to see what was playing we settled on Hot Tub Time Machine, starring John Cusack and friends. I have to say normally I would wait for a movie like this to hit the video shelves before I check it out, but I bought into the hype and I'm glad I did. The laughs just kept coming, I looked over at my friend and I thought he was going to pass out. Well timed gags, and funny 80's satire serve this movie well, and unlike most cheesy movies, this film does not get bogged down with terrible dialogue or a poorly constructed plot. Instead the movie is very straight forward revealing moments in time where each character makes a critical decision forever changing there lives. My rating system will be as follows; GO TO THE SHOW, meaning it is well worth seeing in theatres, STAY HOME, make it a blockbuster night or queue it up on Netflix, and LEAVE IT ALONE, self explanatory.
Rating: GO TO THE SHOW
Don't take this movie to seriously their are no Oscar award winning performances just lots of drug refrences, bad eighties fashion, and plenty of snow bunnies.
