Hot Tub Time Machine

Release Date:  March 26th, 2010

Synopsis: Two men are charged with looking after another friend after an apparent suicide attempt and decide to relive their childhood as a group by revisiting the ski resort they frequented in their youth.  Things take an unexpected twist when they are transported through time after a night of partying in their hot tub back to the 80's.

AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot & Writing:                                  

Won't win any awards but effective and funny.

Acting:                                      

Rob Corddry is hillarious and everyone else holds on tight enough to keep up.

Originality:                            

The first time machine in a hot tub perhaps, but not the first use of time travel or buddy road trips for the sake of hilarity.

Overall:                                     

A good ride for laughs of the adult variety.  A definite should watch that will be even more impressive if you haven't seen The Hangover first.

The Laugh Factor

Belly Laughs: 6-8

Chuckles: 10-12
