There are a few, but not many reviews that have panned Hot Tub Time Machine. Unless you are really dense, you should be pretty much expecting a screwball comedy here. If the title alone doesn’t give it away…well you might need to learn words better.

You should be expecting a few guys to find out that they found a hot tub that can take them back in time. Absurdly obvious from the title. With hot tubs, and guys you know they will be looking to get drunk, hook up with women, and do insane activities. It’s jsut how things are. They aren’t going back in time to find a Mesothelioma treatment that’s for sure. They are going back to 1986 to party their asses off.

Here are just a few snippets from the critics:

“Hot Tub Time Machine,” which wants nothing more than to be a screwball farce, succeeds beyond any expectations suggested by the title and extends John Cusack’s remarkable run: Since 1983, in 55 films, he’s hardly ever made a bad one. Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun Times

Lifting the time-travel logic from Back to the Future, the seminal decade-busting film, the guys decide they must re-enact everything exactly as it was 24 years earlier %u2014 or risk altering the future in damaging ways. With Glover on hand and Chevy Chase as a time-portal repairman in a modified Christopher Lloyd role, all that’s missing is the DeLorean.Claudia Puig of USA TODAY

With sharp riffs on the intersection of ’80s pop culture (ALF, Kid ‘N Play, Ronald Reagan!) and 21st-century culture (Twitter, Viagra, Second Life!), this Time Machine is a fun dip into a pool of memories that are best forgotten again once the booze wears off. Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly

“Hot Tub Time Machine” – a silly title for a movie that often lives up to it – is a blowzy, rowdy sci-fi sex comedy about three discontented buddies, sick of their current lives, who try to relive their 1980s youth on a ski lodge vacation. Michael Wilmington of the Daily Herald

While I rarely ever read anything with Twitter in the title I just found this to be kind of funny. Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush supposedly broke up this week, and the tabloids are already putting her in a relationship with another athlete.

According to the tabloids, an English soccer player named Wayne Bridge met Kardashian during some time off in Miami. The tabloids then went on to say that they were dating possibly. I guess they are ready for a Outer Banks vacation rentals?

Anyways, what is funny about the whole thing is what she said on Twitter:

“Who the hell is Wayne Bridge?” the reality star tweeted Friday after British tabloids linked the pair. “LOL … Someone please fill me in because I have no clue!”

haha…OWNED

If you think back over all the years, and all the gimmick 3-D events you have ever seen, can you honestly say that you felt that much more entertained because of it even once? I know I can’t. Would I pay more for it? No, I would probably be less likely to even watch it if it were in 3-D. I’d rather look for an insurance quote.

There are those that are coming where you don’t need the 3-D glasses anymore. So? 3-D is a giant gimmick. It doesn’t really add much to anything.

The more this has been in the news that studios are adding 3-d, or converting many 2-D films I have heard more and more people say that 3-D actually makes them nauseous. Literally. I had never thought about this before, but it makes sense. You all know a guy that can’t watch Cloverfield for a shaky camera. Probably the same guy has a problem with 3-D. The media isn’t going to talk about it a lot because this is the new “Big thing”, but I bet there are a lot of people out there that can’t handle it.

I have seen a 3-D television from Samsung being advertised almost every commercial break I see the past week. The family is sitting there with glasses on. Really? Who thinks this has any chance of staying power?

People will say “OMG you are afraid of change!!1!!SHIFT1″. People will be wrong. I spend almost every dime I have on technological toys. iPhones, Blu-Ray players, Playstation 3s and XBox 360s. It has nothing to do with this. 3-D is becoming an epidemic, and it doesn’t enhance anything as far as I’m concerned. They tried this in the 80s and 90s. It hasn’t even advanced that far since then from a viewer’s point of view. There are just more people willing to jump on the bandwagon that make media now.
