Hot Tub Time Machine | Film Review

by Anni Leisma

“Relax – it’s only pee”

That really says it all.

If you are reading this while planning a big date with that hot girl from next door, turn the page.

The Hot Tub Time Machine is not for that… It’s for watching with your best mates, preferably after a few pints, and then laughing so hard you almost piss yourself.

There is not much to the plot, or to better describe it, there is way too much.

Essentially, it is a film about three middle-aged buddies + one ugly adolescent going back to their 80s heyday in a (wait for it…) Hot Tub Time Machine!

Lots of awesome one-liners, some funnier than others (“I write Stargate fan fiction, I know about these things…” - absolutely priceless).

It is also amusing to see 80s retro gear and their awe at our modern technology (i-phones and energy drinks – is that really how our generation will be remembered?).  

Some things just never stop being funny, no matter how many films you see about them.

This is true with The Hot Tub Time Machine; you have heard most of the jokes but you are still laughing your head off.

At least as longs as penises and projectile vomiting are your thing.

In cinemas from 7 May

Starring John Cusack (hot – even in the 80s), Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and that kid who has made a career of playing fat, loser geeks and has already made more money than you ever will, Clark Duke.
