FRIDAY MARCH 25th 2010
Yes.
This movie has been buzzing on some of my "go-to" sites for months.
I can’t really explain how badly I want to see this movie.
I think the world is in for a surprise with this one.
Back in February, This write up / review got me really amped up for this movie
I don’t want to say this will have the same sort of explosion in profit like the Hangover (which by the way, was the #6 Highest Grossing Film in America in 2009–that’s ridiculous for a low-budget comedy), but I think this film has "Sleeper Hit" written all over it.
What Do We Know?
-
The movie never once takes itself seriously, in fact, it wallows in its ridiculousness.
-
The movie has an apparently "Epic" cameo / running gag featuring Crispin Glover
-
The movie features John Cusack returning (somewhat) to his iconic image from the 80′s brat pack films.
-
This movie lets Craig Robinson. Rob Corrdry, and Clark Duke really shine.
It might not be destined for critical acclaim or commercial success, but don’t count this out.
I think everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised with Hot Tub Time Machine.
Must See Movie This Week = Hot Tub Time Machine

Pablo, its all good, haha.
And regarding your take on HTTM…i’ve heard the same reports about Chevy Chase’s cameo / side role being completely horrible.
