Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

I'm starting to think Clark Duke (Kick Ass, Sex Drive) is gold in the comedy world and he stars in this movie about being sucked back in time to 1986. The movie stars John Cusack (The King Of Eighties Films), Craig Robinson (Pineapple Express), Rob Corddry (Harold & Kumar Escape...) as three down and out friends who haven't really spoken to each other but because of an attempted suicide decide to take a weekend at an old hot spot. The only problem is that they end up going back to 1986 and they have to relive that weekend at the ski resort all over again and manage to figure out how to get back to present time. This movie was very good but it was not better than the Hangover like the DVD case claims. The movie has a lot of old 80's stars that have cameos in the film like Crispin Glover (Back To The Future), Chevy Chase (The National Lampoon Vacation Movies), and William Zabka (The Karate Kid) as well as great references to the 80's. If you love the eighties or grew up in the eighties than rent this film because you'll understand it and probably think it's funnier than the Hangover. I give the movie a A- because it just might usher in the new generation of time travel in Hollywood. Another amazing thing to me was the fact that they found someone that almost looks identical to Cusack in his younger days.
