Hot Tub Time Machine Unrated Bluray

Gross. Obnoxious. Over the top. Vulgar. Crude. Ridiculous. Great movie!



Earning a hard R, Hot Tub Time Machine surprised me with how amusing it actually was. I think it was helpful to go into this movie with my expectations set for an adolescent-minded sillyfest, because that's pretty much what you get albeit with some very adult themes throughout. A perfect movie for me.



After the biggest loser of a group of 3 peas in a pod friends seemingly attempts to commit suicide, they embark on a road trip back to a place that they used to go 25 years ago to have fun in order to try to get their friend out of his funk. They find that their favorite resort town has become pretty run down over the years, which only adds to the state of depression overhanging the group. So instead of going out on the town, they get some booze and hang back at the room and hit the Hot Tub, which of course turns out to be more that just your ordinary Hot Tub.



The boys are transported back in time and the rest of the movie is a comical and often disgusting chronicle of their fight to get back to the future without causing a Butterfly Effect that alters history. The Hot Tub Time Machine Gods picked the wrong group of guys to test the wills of humanity here.



4 stars may be a bit generous, but if you factor in the deliberateness of the inane disposition that the movie takes, it's really well done. I laughed a lot. I winced a few times. I enjoyed it! Definitely worth a look if you can stomach some of the crudest humor that I've seen packed into about an hour and a half movie in a while.



This is Back to the Future on crack.

I expected this movie to be ridiculous & stupid and was pleasantly surprised. It's not intellectual humor, but we laughed out loud quite a few times and we're pretty picky about movies. I do think it's better for someone over 29 and under 55 - most of the humor and fun in this movie comes from the 80's flashback. If you sit back and relax instead of trying to pick it apart for accuracy (I'm usually a geek who will Google whether or not that particular Walkman would have been released in the time period they are claiming), you'll probably enjoy it.



It's silly, stupid, fun - kind of like the old National Lampoon movies (the Chevy Chase ones, not the awful contemporary interpretation of NL). It would be fun to watch while sitting around with a few beers with old friends who remember the time period also. A drinking game or two wouldn't hurt either. For once I didn't regret paying for a money before it came out on HBO or Showtime.

Hot Tub Time Machine is about three old friends that have drifted apart, when one of the trio tried to kill himself the others takes him to a mountain hotel that they used to have much fun at when they where young, however after a night of drinking in the hot tub the trio, and a young man who is the nephew of one of the gang suddenly find themselves in 1986, the rest of the movie is about the main character's reliving their youth as they try to find a way back to their own time.



I had a blast watching this movie both me and my hubby laughed so our guts hurt several times. The story is fun and while it is plain comedy there is also a lesson to be learned in it about not giving up one's dreams. The movies is also great for the nostalgic factor. I grew up during the 80's and the movie have really captured the feeling for that decade. I do however have some complaints about this film, it is extremely crude, there is a limit to how long urine, excrements, vomits and sex are funny and they do go over the top several times. Like in one scene when there is a squirrel sitting beside one of the characters and the animal is flung away by a huge torrent of vomit. It may be that I am a girl, but I think the movie got far to crude at times.



The acting in this movie is good, and while it have some problems I think the good outweighs the bad. However this is the kind of movie where one turn one's brain of and just go with the flow for if one try to put any kind of intelligence behind the absurdities then it just falls apart. I would give this movie 3 and a half star if I could but since I can't give half stars I end up on 3 stars.

This movie is just great. Like one of the previous reviewers said, it's half back to the future and half hangover. However I liked this movie much more than hangover. This movie isn't as raunchy as hangover was and to me it was even funnier. (don't get me wrong, there are plenty of raunchy if that's what you are looking for)



A brief synopsis. Three long time pals decide to take a vacation back to where they had a number of great experiences after one apparently tries to kill himself. Adam (john cusack) also brings his nephew who is obsessed with computer games and has not experienced the real world. Once they arrive, they find that the home of Winterfest 86 has seen better days. After all 4 pile into the hot tub and try to make the best of it they are transported back to winterfest 86. It is decided that they should all try to repeat exactly what happened so they don't screw the future up. However, after Adam fails to break up with his, then, girlfriend the other two pals decide to "right" the wrongs that they passed up while they nephew is frantically trying to get them back to the future. Shenanigans and fun times ensue providing a great movie.



I whole-heartedly suggest seeing this movie. It is not a family film but it is not a hang over.

I really wanted to hate this movie.When my friend opted for this on "husband-has-the-kids-tonight" night, I mostly agreed just to use up a free ticket.Yes, it is crude, and it is lewd and it's totally socially unacceptable.Having said that, I laughed 'til my sides hurt.I've not laughed this hard since Blazing Saddles.It is that good. Don't take the kids, don't take the parents, don't take bosses or members of clergy - just go, laugh and feel free to revel in the silliness.A bit of warning - when they say 'Rated R' they're serious...strong language and sex.

just like one of the other reviewers , i can't believe i'm giving this 5 stars.



to best review HOT TUB TIME MACHINE , i have to bring up something from the past.

A year ago i watched the "it" movie , THE HANGOVER.

i have a pretty dirty sensibility and love crude humour, but at the same time , i don't like being treated dumb , whether it's comedy , drama, thriller , sci fi , whatever.

treat the audience with respect and you won't lose them.



The Hangover in my opinion was a big long fart.

It's got no brain , no aenima ( just think of Alan Arkin / John Cusack / Grosse Point Blank )

Never want to see it again.

Horrified to hear there's a sequel in the offing.



Hot Tub Time Machine,on the surfaceappeared to be a similar dumb crude comedy that i thought just by the title , was going to suck.

Do not let the title sway you.

This movie had me in tears, over , and over , and over. That's why i had to give it 5 stars !

When a movie makes you repeatedly wipe away tears , with its vulgarity and crudity , and then has the range to actually have some rare emotional moments that work , you know it's doing something right.

I'm not going to spoil any of it.

Just watch it with no preconceptions.



Rob Corddry deserves an award for his role...i'm not kidding.

sometimes you see a performance that is just sheer poetry



This is the movie that The Hangover wishes it could have been.

Even though i know THmade a ton of $ , and was popular , doesn't mean it was a funny movie.

Certainly wasn't funny to me.



those little flecks of white that people have on their fingernails, that is what The Hangover is when compared to Hot Tub Time Machine.

HTTM is a full body of comedy.

and again , Rob Corrdry , bravo . Best performance of the year .



some of you may disagree.....and it probably does help to have lived through some of the 80's , but my wife was crying just like me , and she wasn't an 80's child at all. been



if you like it really crude , but never insulting ,you'll love this.....LOVE IT !

Hot Tub Time Machine delivers on every level it aspires to. In a year with such alleged comedies as "The Bounty Hunter" and "When in Rome," this is a refreshingly funny film.



The plot is minimal. Three high school buddies (John Cusack, Rob Corddry, and Craig Robinson from "The Office") and John Cusack's nephew Jacob (Clark Duke) revisit the Kodiak Valley Ski Resort where they went in their high school days. After a wild night of drinking in a hot tub (involving the spillage of a can of an illegal Russian energy drink called "Chernobly," the guys wake up in 1986. Besides the predictable jokes about '80s fashion and cassette tapes, there are some nice touches, such as the bell boy of the hotel (in both present and '80s days) being played by Crispin Glover, George MyFly from Back to the Future, an '80s film and a film about time travel, as well. A running gag involving the possibility of him losing his arm is some of the funnier stuff I have seen in some time.



Is the film perfect? No. Chevy Chase is wasted in a brief cameo, and without sounding like too much of a prude, the humor is a little crude for my tastes. Still, in terms of recent comedies, viewers could do a lot worse.



Recommended.

I first heard of this movie back in January of this year. I thought it sounded funny, but one I wouldn't pay to see in the theater. Then I saw the trailer, I thought it looked funny, and I decided "Eh, why not go see it? Should be good". Then my friend got an advance showing ticket and he invited me. I thought, "hey it's a free advance showing, go for it!" So I did. So anyways, that was a week ago today.



Tonight was the screening of the movie. And boy, did I love it or what! This is definitely a movie I would pay to go see again in the theater. From its stellar cast to its substantial amount of crude and gross humor, this is a film that is rude, crude, and unabashedly vulgar- and proud of it. And it's another roller-coaster comedy- the moment you think it'll get boring, it throws even bigger laughs your way. So in that sense, I can definitely say that I am glad I went. It was one hell of a hilarious comedy that kept me laughing.



After a stint that almost gets a person killed, his friends who are also unfortunately living rock bottom lives invite him to go on a road trip up to a snowy alpine town named Kodiak Valley, taking one's nephew. The town is practically desolate, and the hotel room is crappy. However, they find out their suite has a hot tub, and they get pretty trashed. Unknowingly, they knock over an energy drink and spill it on the panel.



The next morning, they wake up, but things aren't what they seem. For one, everyone's wearing fashion that was made big in the eighties. there's only one logical explanation: The hot tub was a time machine that transported them back to 1986!!!! However, since 3 of them are adults, they also discover they traveled to the day they went there for the Winterfest music festival with Poison headlining. So they decide to re-live the night they'll forever remember, while simultaneously trying to get back to 2010, ending up in several sticky situations along the way!



This was a fun movie for sure. It was totally odd yet hilarious. Tons of belly laughs, lots of WTF moments. Cusack sure didn't ruin his career with this one- he is very funny and he proved he can take on a rude and crude comedy very well. Crispin Glover has a small role here, and he really did the deed here too. But, the real star of the show here is someone I usually dislike- Rob Cordry. He stole the show greatly here. He was the real highlight here. He was consistently funny through and had me laughing so hard to the point I couldn't breathe.



However, I recommend that you do NOT let kids see this movie. The jokes, as I mentioned are rude and crude and extremely vulgar which almost push an NC-17 rating here. There's tons of sex jokes as well and couple ugly sex scenes that do nothing but add hilarity to the movie. The ending also takes a direction that most comedies nowadays don't. You expect the clich

All I gotta say is that this movie was great definitely the funniest movie of 2010.Anyone who had any part of their life take place in the 1980's and at least remembers some of their life in the 1980's flat out has to see this movie.

Hot Tub Time Machine can be described in the same way as its title; ridiculous, stupid and at the same time, funny. Many reviewers have found this movie to be plain stupid and obviously did not get it or simply couldn't get it; HTTM is definitely NOT a smart movie and will certainly not help raise your IQ. Someone who views it could possibly hate it the same way he hated movies such as Superbad I'll be the first to admit that as much as I enjoyed the movie it's dumb, really dumb. But you know what? It's what I like about it, it doesn't try to be smart and it's just a fun movie with this crazy plot that doesn't make much sense. This type of humor will not please anyone and the rating on amazon shows it. But really what do you expect of a movie with such a title?



Adam and his friends Nick and Lou (along with Adam's nephew) go to snowy Kodic Valley, a place that holds great memories for them but they quickly realize that a lot has changed since then. Their hotel rooms has a hot tub and that night they do something that makes the hot go back in time, in 1986 precisely (you probably knew that a hot tub was going to be there at some point and that it would act as time machine, no spoilers there). The fun only starts there as they discover that what they do in 1986 could change their futures. Having a fondness for the 1980's in general (especially Motley Crue!) would really help you appreciate the movie, on the other hand if you can't stand 80's references you should stay clear of Hot Tub Time Machine. The movie references Motley Crue, Michael Jackson, Poison and mostly the MTV era, they even captured the clothes, the fashion and all. What really made me like the movie were the characters, Lou and Nick really carried the movie in m opinion.



Watching Hot Tube Time Machine may either bring some fond memories, make you hate the 80's even more or wonder why you watched it in the first place. The reviews for HTTM are clearly mixed and not everyone will enjoy it. Oh and the movie clearly earned it's rated R rating, just so you know there is bad language and sex scenes. I like HTTM for what it was, it's a funny stupid movie and should be taken for what it is. 4 stars
