Hot Tub Time Machine : Movie Review


If you hop a ride in the dudely new comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine," here's what you get: A reckless celebration of casual drug abuse and meaningless sex that makes vulgar sport of women with big hair, gay men in general, disabled people, dismembering injuries, members of Poison and Mötley Crüe, deceased pop celebrities, ski-patrol douche bags, Internet geeks and, most of all, the bruised egos of middle-aged guys. Beyond that, "Hot Tub Time Machine" takes the universal human longing to reimagine and relive the past -- which has fueled artists and poets from the Lascaux cave-painters through Proust and Fitzgerald -- and reduces it to cheap, foul and thoroughly amoral humor.
