Preview: Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

Synopsis:

Four guys decide to basque in the warmth of their cabin's hot tub where they are transported back 24 years into the midst of 1986 where they are exposed to severe culture shock.

Review:

Big, generic letters for the title positioned on a generic white background with a generic hot tub replacing the "O". Sure looks like a winner to me...

• Trailer: D; D

Review:

Aside from the shouldn't-be-but-is-funny Michael Jackson quip, the rest of this trailer confirms that this film is as lackluster and stupid as its title suggests.

At one time, John Cusack had indie cred. However, a shockingly bad selection of recent films suggests he may have played out his welcome to those legions of fans who leant him their respect.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
