Hot Tub Time Machine

Saw this last, very enjoyable, likeable cast and I loved the 80's setting.....christ I feel old!!
 
I was looking forward to this from what I'd read about it, but was actually a bit disappointed by the trailer :(. I'll most likely still watch it but was expecting something funnier the way people had been going on about it.
 
The trailer looks sooooo bad, but I really want to see it! Two of my favourite things - 80s and John Cusack. I have a feeling I may enjoy it.
 
Looks like it's only showing once at my local Vue Cinema, at 20:45 tonight. I thought it was released on Friday?
 
Saw a preview last night - easily one of the Top 10 worst films I've ever seen at the cinema. Just utter sh*t. The whole thing feels like it was ad-libbed, and there are so few actual jokes, I can't remember any.

I might have enjoyed this if I was 12, purely because of the boobs and the gross-out moments.
 
It's a mess! So many scenes that go nowhere, and don't even end on any sort of attempt at humour - good, bad or otherwise. A shockingly weak film, not a patch on The Hangover or any Apatow (or Apatow-alike) films; it makes the Farrelly Brothers look like Hitchcock.
 
Agree, but they're so clearly trying to pitch it as the next 'The Hangover' and falling very, very short. In the post-preview questionnaire I filled in they even asked me if I thought the film reminded me of The Hangover. It didn't.
 
I've seen the triler a few times and couldn't make up my mind. After reading a few comments on here I know I probably won't like it.

I'm getting really bored of "gross out" comedies or films with those moments in them. I guess I'm getting old.
 
Saw this Friday night with my best friend and we were in stitches through the whole thing, as was the rest of the cinema.
It didn't take itself too seriously and was a great end-of-the-week fun film. Absolutely hilarious.

I think the scenes that got the biggest reactions were:

The 'soap on the face' bathroom scene, the 'this is how he loses his arm' scenes and the 'making the baby' scene. Cusack's reaction in the baby scene was hysterical.

As a big 80s movie nerd I also loved the references to 80s movies, such as the Sixteen Candles sitting on table reference and the "two dollars!" reference :D.
