Hot Tub Time Machine Blu-Ray + Digital Copy Combo Pack Review

Hot Tub Time Machine Blu-Ray + Digital Copy Combo Pack Review



Synopsis: Three friends with less-than-fulfilling lives get the chance to go back and do it all again in the uproarious comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, heating up as an UNRATED, two-disc Blu-ray with Digital Copy and DVD June 29 from MGM Home Entertainment. Delivering “non-stop political incorrectness” and “about a billion laughs” (Los Angeles Times), the film stars John Cusack (High Fidelity), Craig Robinson (“The Office”) and Rob Corddry (“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”) as buddies looking to recapture a little of their youthful glory by returning to the ski resort where they used to party. After a crazy night of drinking in the hot tub, they realize that they’ve been transported back to the 80s and into the bodies of their younger selves. Now they have to decide whether they should change their futures while wading through a sea of spandex, blue eye shadow and heavy metal hair bands. Hot Tub Time Machine also features a hilarious supporting cast including comedy legend Chevy Chase (Caddyshack), Crispin Glover (Back To The Future) and Clark Duke (Kick-Ass).

Review: Hot Tub Time Machine is one of those soon to be classic comedy films.  I love John Cusack and Craig Robinson, so I was pretty psyched to see this one.  It was as silly as promised.  The first thing to note about this film is how much cursing there is.  Parents, you may not want to let your kids see this one if cursing bothers you, the F word is thrown around every two seconds.  Thats not to say that they don't rely on grander comedic elements than vulgarity.

The running gag through the movie is a mixture of the time period and Back to the Future.  The BTTF references go as deep as casting Crispin Glover (George McFly in the original films) as a bellboy.   Also look for hilarious appearances from Chevy Chase.  The movie does a great job of spoofing old 80s skiing flicks, of which there are too many.  The laughs come on strong and the rewards are high.  Hot Tub Time Machine is hilarious.

The blu-ray is the way to go, because it comes in a blu-ray + digital copy combo pack!  The film looks great in high-def! 

Interest Range: Comedy, John Cusack, Craig Robinson
