Hot Tub Time Machine...HOLY $%#&!!!
 
It was ****ing hilarious!!! I'm talking Hangover hilarious! I cried from laughter multiple times. Rob Corddry (Kutcher's friend in What Happens In Vegas) and Craig Robinson (Darryl from the Office) are comic gold. There's one scene between the two of them that's easily one of the top 3 funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

DJJasonp 03-26-2010 10:08 PM

Good to hear....figured it would be either horrible or great (in an underground "great" sort of way)

arrowheadnation 03-26-2010 10:28 PM

I better throw this caveat out there before I start getting attacked. Whether or not you like the movie totally depends on your sense of humor. Some people aren't going to like this, but man, I was doubled over laughing.

KcMizzou 03-27-2010 01:00 AM

It's getting pretty decent reviews. Impressive for any comedy.

Tribal Warfare 03-27-2010 01:33 AM

There are so many badass moments, and tunes in this movie that it oozes awesomeness from start to finish.

bevischief 03-27-2010 03:36 AM

Did you notice if the ticket prices went up?

This movie is so funny who cares what they charge even if its your first born.

luv 03-27-2010 08:10 AM

I wasn't crying laughing during The Hangover, but I do think this looks like it will be funny. I think I'm going to wait for it on netflix. If prices are going up, then the only time I'm going to the theater is if a 3D movie looks really good.

NewChief 03-27-2010 02:45 PM

I think I must be one of the only people alive who didn't find the Hangover to be uproariously funny. I like it. Thought it was humorous, but I didn't think it was better than say 40 year old virgin.

KCChiefsMan 03-27-2010 03:50 PM

ya I had a good feeling about this one

I thought 40 Year Old Virgin was MUCH funnier.

to like the Hangover a lot you need to like Zack Galifinakis's style of comedy. I think he's hilarious and his stand up is great, he's not your typical comic though.

ZG was the only consistently funny part of the movie, but his sensibility is totally different than the faux-Apatow buddy comedy The Hangover ended up being. I really want to see him star in a movie he writes himself, because that shit would be top-to-bottom brilliance.

KcMizzou 03-27-2010 05:54 PM

I liked The Hangover, but I don't think it lived up to the hype.

Hype ruins comedy more than any other genre, IMO.

If you've been told over and over that you're going to laugh your ass off, you probably wont.

The funniest movies are always the ones that sneak up on you.

Game. Set. Match.

well I enjoyed the Hangover. I agree that if ZG wrote his own it would most likely be outstanding.

When John Goodman got hit with the windblown cremation ashes... That's the last time I laughed in a theater.

I love ZG's stuff in the Hangover, but that wasn't the entire film, unfortunately.

Yeah. This. The Hangover just felt almost formulaic to me... which is weird because it has bizarre plot, but it still felt like cliche or something. Let me say that I absolutely loved the movie. As others have also pointed out... it was a victim of being overhyped. I waited until DVD to rent it, so I had put up with 6 months of hearing how amazing and innovative and such it was.

When the ashes cover the Dude, it is the only,"Somebody just died, but I can't stop laughing" movie moments.

I agree. I enjoyed The Hangover, but it was not that funny. I think Zombieland is far more humorous.

aturnis 03-28-2010 01:47 PM

The final fight sequence in Role Models was the last time I laughed in a theater. I laughed HARD too. People were wondering what was wrong with me. My gf had gone to get food or the restroom or something, and when she came back, she was embarrassed, I was the only one still laughing. HARD.

Dartgod 03-28-2010 08:11 PM

I saw it today. It was pretty funny. Not the funniest I've seen by a long shot, but I don't feel like I wasted my money.

OmahaChief 03-28-2010 09:04 PM

We just rented this over the weekend and i thought it was really funny.

"Bid good morn to the warrior Lunestra."

"Lunestra? Isn't that a sleeping pill?"

"Yes, because I send my opponents to their eternal sleep."
...
"Before battle, let us gently touch tips."

I agree with this as well. Like Phin, I saw it after it after it had been out a while and I heard nothing but "this is the greatest comedy every" and the like. People talking about it being better than Animal House and many other cult comedy classics.

I thought is was a good comedy but extremely overrated.

the Talking Can 03-29-2010 03:57 PM

hot tub was funny, but nothing amazing....never quite as crazy as it should have been...

MoreLemonPledge 03-29-2010 11:26 PM

I didn't really find it humorous at all, and I loved the Hangover. I chuckled a couple of times and that was about it.

Rent it.

MMXcalibur 03-31-2010 08:07 AM

With all the hype surrounding The Hangover, I was expecting to die of laughter. While I did get a few chuckles, there was nothing that put on the level of say, "The 40 Year Old Virgin" or "The Jerk".

I agree that hype kills comedies more than any other genre.

JD10367 03-31-2010 08:09 AM

I thought both Hangover and Hot Tub were pretty good. I think overall Hangover is better but Hot Tub did make me laugh harder, until I cried, at "Gary Coleman's forearm" and the bathroom scene after he woke up from passing out. LMAO

The Bad Guy 03-31-2010 06:41 PM

I really thought it was sub-standard too. Laughed a few times, but generally it was just a bore fest.

The Hangover was a ridiculously hilarious movie hype or no hype.

BWillie 04-01-2010 09:14 AM

Am I the only one that doesn't think the Big Lebowski is funny? I don't get it, it has almost zero funny parts. I thought the Hangover was good, but it wasn't as funny as people make it out to be. The funniest movies I can remember are Old School and Anchorman.

KC_Connection 04-01-2010 09:29 AM

Forget it, Willie, you're out of your element!

Otter 04-01-2010 09:50 AM

Best part of The Hangover:

"Doug's in the trunk!, pull over and open the trunk!"

"You **** wit me too!?!?"

"No man, no! I ****ing hate godzilla dude, ****ing hate him".

:ROFL:

Gotta be honest - I've never laughed harder than when Mike Tyson threw that right cross during "In the Air Tonight"

C'mon, watch the movie again. The tiger, the pissing in Tyson's pool, the running 'your wife nailed a waiter on a cruise ship' gag. That movie was more than just Galifinakis (SP), it was damn funny.

Pablo 04-01-2010 05:41 PM

The Hangover wasn't all that funny.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a fairly humorous comedy and a better one than The Hangover, and I went into it with much, more lower expectations than I did for The Hangover.

I couldnt even finish that movie. I didnt get it. I like to think i have a good sense of humor. I can watch just about any type of comedy usually and laugh. From sienfeild kind of funny to Redd Foxx kind of funny, but that movie, no ****ing dice.

Serious question. How many times have you seen it?

TBL is a movie you have to become acclimatized to. I went into it expecting Raising Arizona II and almost swore off the Coen Brothers after the first viewing. But then, I WATCHED IT AGAIN. I don't know what exactly is going on with it, but it's the rare movie that gets funnier the more acquainted with it, as you anticipate what's coming next and it's delivered brilliantly each and every time. It could be the only movie I can think of that gets funnier and funnier with each viewing, quite the opposite of most every other comedy, which depends on surprising you into laughter.

RedThat 04-02-2010 01:04 PM

Saw it last night. I would classify it as a "stupid funny movie."

Anchorman has be to be one the most unfunny, overhyped movies of all time. I dont even think it garnered a smirk from me.

ZOMBILAND FTW!

cardken 04-02-2010 02:39 PM

I almost never pay to see a comedy at the Theatre anymore. Tickets prices out of control, Robbery at the Concessions,unruly patrons, do nothing Cinema employees, Crowd laughter covering the dialogue, Irratating. Besides never a reason to see a comedy on the big screen. I'll pay for the experiance if SPFX are involved, then a visit to the Cinmeplex is in order by Comedies and Drama I hold out to watch on the 50 inch HD Palam w/ Home Theatre Sound @ home. But looking forward to the film nonetheless.

The Coen Brothers have a bit of making up to do with me.

Burn After Reading was an asbolutely hideous piece of crap.

I like a lot of their stuff, I like dark humor like Death To Smoochy, but I can find absolutely no redeeming quality with BAR.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of my favorites. Too many good lines and great deliveries in that movie.

I love "Lebowski". But I don't think it's that funny, in a cheap-laugh ha-ha way. But the film does have style, in spades. It's subdued and laid-back, like The Dude. The music is phenomenal, as is the cinematography. I mean, c'mon, a topless chick being thrown from a beach blanket in slow motion? Julianne Moore naked flying through the air flinging paint? John Turturro dressed in purple with a hairnet, licking a bowling ball? The quest for a pissed-on rug to be cleaned? Nihilists, fer crissake, the film has Nihilists! It even has a fantasy bowling scene! The movie rocks. It's like a complicated painting, and it's the type of movie that really can't be described.

Mel Brooks holds up well. "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" are classics, and "The History Of The World Part 1" gets better with time.

Deberg_1990 08-13-2010 05:28 PM

Just saw this the other day. Quite enjoyed it. I like that it had the feel of an old 80's low budget teen flick.....

Pretty funny stuff.

007 08-14-2010 04:22 AM

Hot Tub was actually pretty good. Of course, I went in with low expectations so it had nowhere to go but up for me.

Demonpenz 08-14-2010 05:41 AM

Hot tub time machine has given me the single greatest line that isn't even related to the movie. I have the movie on the zune I go up to a girl. Get into a conversation (when it's clear people kiss the girls ass" When she starts talking about something that is meh.. I pull out my zune and say "This conversation bores me, I'm going to watch hot tub time machine"

Demonpenz 08-14-2010 05:43 AM

The biggest thing I like with the hangover, is that it works for Girls and Guys with straight sense of humor (oh man that guy got hit in the dick!) and the girls who just go Oooooo that guy is cute! You can watch it with those types and still be amused, of course you are going to be like Man I wish this was a cult classic with backstory humor, humor the normal people won't get, people like me who have to be in the "Know" get. Anyway you can watch the hangover with anyone and still have enough hipsterish moments where it isn't a groan fest for me.
