Friday, January 22, 2010 at 9:33AM Raunchy Red Band Trailer - 'Hot Tub Time Machine'
Yeah, OK, so Hot Tub Time Machine looks like a very early version of The Hangover. Four guys who don't look at all like they would ever be friends go on a vacation, get wasted and wake up the next day in a whole new world. I'll admit, there's a strong similarity there.

However, it still looks funny in an incredibly stupid sort of way, and if you thought a movie with that title would lean cerebral, I'd wonder what's wrong with you. It's good to see John Cusack let his hair down, Clark Duke is genuinely funny, and the more Craig Robinson, the better. About the only thing I'm unsure of is Daily Show alumnus Rob Corddry (there's another Hangover similarity), who appears to be trying really, really hard.
There's a new Red Band trailer, something all R-rated comedies need to distribute. This one gets the scarlet letter for plenty of bad words and a pair of breasts. And with that...hot tub.

Can this find an audience? Can MGM afford to do enough advertising? It's the only thing like it coming out in March (the 19th to be precise) so maybe Hot Tub Time Machine can stand up on its own.

CLAAAAAAAASIC!
I wonder how that kid fits into the story... he seems like a pointless character. Well I'm sure "pointless" will be the driving force behind HOT TUB TIME MACHINE!
