REVIEW - Hot Tub Time Machine

I know I'm a few weeks late getting to see this film, and I don't normally bother to review films on cable - even Pay Per View, but ..... there are far too few movies about time travel, and this one's a great excuse to play some great 80s tunes.

Having said that, what on earth is John Cusack thinking of? Surely there are lesser actors better suited to delivering fart jokes and generally slopping around in a post Animal House vein.

And unfortunately, the 2 best jokes are in the trailer. 

The somewhat surreal, "it must be some kind of hot tub time machine" is trumped only by the line, when the guys realize that traveling back 30 years leaves them in a position to invest in ideas they already know work, "we could combine Twitter and Viagra: Twittagra!"

As Frankie Howard used to say "quite titterful".
