Hot Tub Time Machine

Best title ever right? My deep and profound love for John Cusack aside, this was actually quite funny. There were some really clever one-liners given by just about every cast member. Rob Corddry was over the top but when isn't he? I think he has a difficult time with range. The plot is basically three friends and a nephew travel back to the 1980's to get a chance to rewrite their past. The nephew wasn't born yet but somehow manages to travel unscathed while the three friends appear as their former selves to everyone else but their regular selves to each other and the audience. It's like some kind of vampire-mirror thing. Any of the regular "rules" of time-travel are disposed of and really, you forget about that pretty quickly and just enjoy the general shenanigans of the characters. It has a super happy ending and I really felt like it was deserved even though the characters were one dimensional and did nothing to deserve it. They just seemed so sad and pathetic that I figured, eh, why not make them happy? Chevy Chase really added nothing to the film and wasn't utilized nearly as much as he could have been, but their call really. Give this one a chance, I definitely laughed quite a bit.
