Not worth travelling to Hot Tub Time Machine
07 May 2010
Here is a comedy that has a goodish central idea, copious swear words and a resounding number of filthy jokes.
A posse of fortysomething best friends are so disappointed with their lives they decide to go on holiday to a ski resort in the hope of getting laid. They all get in a hotel hot tub which, by dint of some inexplicable magic, transports them back to their youth. They still know what will become of them but now might have a chance to change it for the better.
John Cusack is always being dumped by his girlfriends, Rob Corddry is an alcoholic who can never find the party, Craig Robinson has a wife who controls him and Clark Duke is a video game nerd. When one mentions that Chevy Chase puts in an appearance as the hotel repairman, you may know what to expect from the humour.
It’s passably funny in spasms, but in the end the outright vulgarity palls and you wonder what the two leading ladies in the cast, Collette Wolfe and Lizzy Caplan, thought of it all. Not much, I’d say.
