HOT TUB TIME MACHINE
4 out of 5 stars

nick (realizing it's the 80s): "quick...what color is michael jackson?"
random girl: "...black?"
nick: "AHHHH!!!!"

a HILARIOUS movie about getting schwasted in a hot tub, time-traveling back to the 1980s, and attending winterfest 1986 all over again... BRING ON THE AIR GUITAR! :P

the entire premise of this movie is just ridic, but hey... that's what makes it comic genius. nick (craig robinson AKA darryl the warehouse dude from the office) works at some dog exercise place called 'sup dawg, adam (john cusack) is a loser-about to be divorcee, and lou (rob corddry)... well, let's just say alcoholic and attempted suicide victim. (however, his suicide "attempt" is really funny... in a really twisted way! let's just say it involves singing along to home sweet home by motley crue and a closed garage... :P) then, there's random jacob, who is adam's loser nephew/second life devotee... anyway, after lou's suicide attempt lands him in the hospital, nick and adam decide to take his butt up to kodiak valley for some R&R. we learn that kodiak valley was a very special place for these guys, esp. when it came to things like drugs, sex, and lots of skiing!

like i said... the whole premise is absurd, but it's done in a really funny way. i think the dialogue was written well, esp. since two really funny guys are part of this cast. i think i could have done without john cusack, but someone had to be the "serious" one...i guess. the 1980s attire/flashback was actually done quite realistically, and they even got POISON (ahhh! bret michaels!) to have a cameo on stage @ winterfest! ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good nostaglic flick for a random friday night? try this one... it don't get better than this! ;)
