First Cut: 'Hot Tub Time...' is hilarious

If time travel flicks hook you then Hot Tub Time Machine is just the thing. Without going overboard with the topic, director Steve Pink managed to capture the essence of time travel in its best sense.

The film is about four losers Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry), Nick (Craig Robinson) and Jacob (Clark Duke) in 2010. Adam is troubled and upset about his yet another break up, Lou is an alcoholic, Nick is stuck with a job he hates and his dominating girlfriend, and Jacob lives in Adam’s basement and is obsessed with video games.
