Watch The Movie Hot Tub Time Machine

By Rose Good

There seems to be new movies coming to DVD every single week, and not all of them are worth mentioning. In recent weeks, though, there has been a release that was all but certainly in contention with one of the best and hippest comedies of the new decade: "Hot Tub Time Machine".

Through the course of this article, you are going to get a good look at this particular film. You will get a look at the general idea behind the film through a semi-detailed plot synopsis. Additionally, you will get a small breakdown of a few of the main characters in the piece and their roles to making this comedy something to be talked about. Not to mention, a film to be viewed again and again.

This film opens up on what life is like right now for a group of middle aged men. Life has passed them by for the most part, and what is left of it does not seem to be shaping up that well for them. It chronicles the failing relationships of three of what are the main characters of the film: Adam (John Cusack), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Lou (Rob Corddry).

Lou decides after a night of drinking to attempt to kill himself by leaving his car running with him inside while in the garage. Next thing you know, Adam and Nick find themselves at the hospital trying to figure out how so much space and time got between all of them. They commit that they are going to go on a trip to one of their childhood hot spots, the Kodiak Valley Ski Resort.

However, time has been nothing close to friendly with the resort, but they commit to staying anyway. They all get in the hot tub behind their room and through a freak accident, they wind up in 1986 at the heart of Winterfest. This is when the group was last at the resort and they quickly learn that this is the exact same time that they remember. They even look like they did back then to everyone but themselves.

The hilarity ensues when the group decides that for the sake of not messing up the future, they would have to relive everything that they had undergone back in the eighties on the trip they appear to be reliving. So this means different things for different characters. One will have to break up with his perfect girlfriend all over again, another will have to get beaten up, and another will have to cheat on his wife (even though technically he wasn't married then).

The characters learn that sometimes, people are given a second chance to change things for one reason or another. While they might not have gotten it right the first time, they can get things right now. They learn a lot about themselves as well as each other.

If you are someone that can appreciate 80s references and humor, than this film is certainly for you. If you are someone that just likes good jokes and crude humor, than this movie is for you as well. You should certainly check out the DVD "Hot Tub Time Machine" if you haven't already. - 40731
