The Great White Buffallo...

I watched Hot tub time machine, only because of the annoying tumor of a brother fate has dropped into my otherwise blissful abyss reminding me every 5 seconds!.. But apart from that the film was really quite enjoyable and was genuinely funny, a trait that most modern comedies seem to be missing, a major flaw in the genre there. Not so much an original idea, the story was just back to the future meets The Hangover, and in the land of comedy spoofs are starting to clog up the once loved heavenly motorway of laughter. I loved the characters and actors, all apart from probably the main character (or at least who I see as the main character), Adam, played by John Cusack. Who I'm sure that nobody has ever heard of right? Or is that just me?..
All in all though it's really not much different form other movies in the genre. Ridiculous amount of sexual references and.. well... not much else. To be honest, most of the jokes in this movie are just things about sex. It's not on it's own though, about 90% of movies int he comedy genre rely heavily on sex jokes. Unless it's a 'hit teen comedy' and well in that case it just isn't funny...
Wandering back from the deluded and misshapen path of comedy, I'll be generous and give this one a nice round 8.47/10 :)

  1. The movie hanover is really awesome.In the follow-up to the record-breaking hit comedy "The Hangover," Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don't always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.
    Great reviews!
