Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)
I’m wondering why I watched this film. Perhaps solid actor John Cusak lured me in, or maybe the comedic talents of Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson gave me hope, or more likely, the outrageous title simply seemed funny. Well...lesson learned. When a bad script gets helmed by a bad director, and the result is cut together by a bad editor, no cast can save it. If college students had produced this film as a school project...it still would have failed miserably, but at least such a failure could have been easily explained. For its cast and a few good lines, it just barely manages to rate above one star.
