Hot tub time machine bellhop movie#
This movie addresses that and even the fact that because of the characters attitude, they don’t hang around with him as much as they used to. I always wonder why the other guys would hang around the person. It’s when you have a group of friends, and one is a jerk.
I was more impressed that they addressed one of my movie pet peeves. Ya think? But in a crazy comedy like this, you let a lot of that stuff go. I heard a scientist in an interview 20 years ago talking about how every time travel movie has flaws. John Cusack is good, but I have to say, I’m getting tired of critics praising him and George Clooney in everything they do. Not an easy feat when you have the comedic talent of Craig Robinson, who is always great as the straight man (I’m happy to see him getting a bigger role in The Office). Those scenes will have the entire theatre laughing with the dark, sadistic anticipation Rob Corddry had.Īnd how has Corddry become such a brilliant comedic actor? Sure, he was always a treat on The Daily Show, but he flat out steals this movie. It’s brilliant casting, since he not only played in an 80s time travel movie ( Back to the Future), but his facial expressions when he comes close to having his arm lopped off, are priceless. I was thinking they should grab Chevy Chase, who plays the wily hot tub repairman, and bring him back to the 80s – A time when he was actually funny!Īnother 80s actor popped up - Crispin Glover, who I just saw in Alice in Wonderland. Or, it could be like the mysterious gold shine in the suit case of Pulp Fiction. The guys were all drinking in the hot tub. When the hot tub shined with a golden hue…I figured it could be yet another bodily function joke (the movie had about four too many). When things started off with jokes about a time when Michael Jackson was “still black” and Jheri Curl, legwarmers, and “Relax” T-shirts were in…I didn’t think things looked promising. Am I the only person that was a bit disappointed by Hangover? Will I lose credibility admitting I laughed out loud at least 10 times in Hot Tub? And it’s not because this movie deals with guys traveling back to when it was my senior year in high school – 1986. It’s strange that critics all think The Hangover was a better film. And I have to admit, those bands work wonderfully in this film especially the Motley Crue video during the closing credits, which rivals the hilarity of the closing in The Hangover. Instead of the great 80s songs by people like Peter Gabriel and U2, we hear a lot of Motley Crue and Poison. You have to think he heard the title, and thought he was going to be forced to hold up a boom box like he did in Say Anything. It’s strange that John Cusack would produce and star in a movie like this.
And with that R rating right there in the corner, you know it will be raunchy. It’s up against Snakes on a Plane, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (Or does that count as seven words? Oh, and RIP Robert Culp).Īt least with a title like Hot Tub Time Machine, you don’t have that moment standing in front of the movie poster wondering what it’s about. Hot Tub Time Machine is in the running for the worst four-word movie title in history. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.
