06/27/10

OVERVIEW:
Three friends with less-than-fulfilling lives get the chance to go back and do it all again in the uproarious comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, heating up as an UNRATED, two-disc Blu-ray with Digital Copy and DVD June 29 from MGM Home Entertainment. Delivering “non-stop political incorrectness” and “about a billion laughs” (Los Angeles Times), the film stars John Cusack (High Fidelity), Craig Robinson (“The Office”) and Rob Corddry (“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”) as buddies looking to recapture a little of their youthful glory by returning to the ski resort where they used to party. After a crazy night of drinking in the hot tub, they realize that they’ve been transported back to the 80s and into the bodies of their younger selves. Now they have to decide whether they should change their futures while wading through a sea of spandex, blue eye shadow and heavy metal hair bands. Hot Tub Time Machine also features a hilarious supporting cast including comedy legend Chevy Chase (Caddyshack), Crispin Glover (Back To The Future) and Clark Duke (Kick-Ass).
SYNOPSIS: HOT TUB
TIME MACHINE follows a group of best friends who’ve become
bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been
dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy
who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife
controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob
(Clark Duke) won’t leave his basement. After a crazy night
of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads
pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick
some past and change their futures – one will find a new
love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the
ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he
still exists!
DVD: Hot Tub Time Machine is presented in
a widescreen format with a 2.35:1 aspect ration. The
transfer looks clean, judging from the watermark screening
received it is very difficult to determine the real quality
of the video, however I wont doubt that the final product
will be just fine. The picture is
complemented with a 5.1 English Dolby digital sound with
Spanish, French and English subtitles.
In terms of special
features the DVD includes only two. A few deleted scenes
including a couple of bloopers and theatrical trailer.
