Hot Tub Time Machine



Well didn't I just love every second of this movie! Total fluff, and even for a ridiculous fantastical movie nothing makes sense. And I loved every second of it. I loved it because the film maker isn't trying to trick you into thinking that in the movie anyone takes themselves seriously. From start to finish it is just plain fun. It's an amazing cast, and despite the fact that the story line is ridiculous and completely unbelievable, it's oddly compelling. Who hasn't been waiting at least 10 years to see John Cusack transported back to the 80s? No one.

My only beef is the cast is full of hilarious and talented male actors; not the best looking group of fellas, but not one chick in the movie is less than a 9. Craig Robinson captured my heart as Darryl in the Office and I basically love everything else he's ever done. The bouncer in Knocked Up was a tiny role and my most quoted movie line. His delivery nails it "I'm not saying you're too old for this world. Just too old for this club."

John Cusack has a special place in my heart. I honestly think he is probably a bit of a one note. I don't get so much variety from his characters, but I love him regardless. With some actors (Jennifer Aniston, Jim Carrey) I'm bored to tears because 90% of their characters are the exact same with different names, but I never get sick of John. Never.

Don't even get me started on Rob Corddry. I love him enough to not even point out the completely superfluous "d" in his last name that under normal circumstances would piss me off. I pretty much want to make out with anyone who has ever been on the Daily Show, and Rob is no exception. Hilarious and smart. It's the sexiest combination I can think of in a man. Sadly for women, even as is proven in this movie, the most important quality is hot body, then face, then hair, and if all those are enough to attract a dude to you, a personality will keep them around. Us average looking chicks don't stand a chance. Women are just better people. We are attracted to personality and intelligence and what kind of a person he is. All of those things affect a man's appearance to me. That's science. I digress.

This movie is good.
