Hot Tub Time Machine

Few films have the capacity to make my eyes bleed. Unfortunately, as I would learn, Hot Tub Time Machine is one of those films. Either that... or I was crying tears. I'll never know.

Have you ever heard the expression 'lighting doesn't strike twice'? Well imagine if you will that The Hangover is a bolt of lighting. Now imagine that Hot Tub Time Machine is a 4 foot 8, snaggletoothed, slightly chubby, moron, climbing to the top of the SkyTower during the decade's most fierce thunder storm holding an umbrella with the lyrics to the Kiss song Shock Me printed on top.

Yes never before has such a shameless attempt been made to replicate the success of another film. Not even The Hangover 2 will try this hard to copy the first one!

If you liked the look of the trailer, then I submit to you that you have already seen the best parts of the film. Honestly, I laughed five times. Maybe six. I felt the need to apologise to the friend I had brought.

I wish someone with access a time machine had come back and told me not to bother.
