Director: Steve Pink
It's hard for me to believe that meta time-machine humor exists, but it does. Hot Tub Time Machine plays around with the tropes established by films like Back to the Future and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure without directly referencing them. There's also an inordinately large special effects budget for this film - they really went all out with the whole Hot Tub Time Machine concept. Regardless, the movie gets some pretty consistent laughs throughout, even if it never had me laughing uproariously.
Note: Spoilers Ahead
Much like The Hangover, I do have a problem with the film philosophically - but I suppose that's ridiculous for a film called Hot Tub Time Machine. Whatever the case, the film's happy ending was not happy for me.
