Hot Tub Time Machine

"Great white buffalo." This is not The Hangover, nor will it ever come close to being it. However, is still a very entertaining film, and manages to amuse throughout its running time. Filled with toilet and sexual humor (as well as some surprisingly graphic comic violence), this is not a film for the faint of heart (well, at least not for the very faint of heart).
The plot "boils" down to this: three old pals (and the young nephew of one of them) rent a ski cabin for a weekend at a lodge they used to frequent when they were young (in the 1980s). They get in the hot tub to relax and drink beer. All goes well until one of them spills some sort of Russian energy drink (called "Chernobly") into the controls, and they travel back in time to the 80s. Now, they have to find a way to get back to the future...if they weren't so concerned about trying to fix all of their 80s problems.
Look for Chevy Chase and Crispin Glover in minor roles.

Rating: 2.5/4
