Let's all get in the 'Hot Tub'

Stephanie and I got a chance to see the new comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine" at a press screening tonight.

And the adventure to get to the screening was just as entertaining as the movie. We received a wrong address for the theater, got lost trying to find the new theater (twice) and ended up seeing director Joel Schumacher ("A Time to Kill").

We'll save the entire story for the next show, but onto the movie... it's hilarious.

The movie follows four guys who are unhappy with their lives, they get transported to 1987 and have to figure out how to get back. The tweak of that plot is three of the characters were in that same exact place in 1987, so they have to relive their lives over. One of the guys wasn't born yet, but that also plays into the central plot of the movie.

I haven't laughed this much since seeing "The Hangover" in theaters. The movie is also VERY raunchy. If you're a prude, skip this movie at all costs.

There is nudity abound, including male nudity. There are parts of the movie that are graphic including a bathroom scene that was beyond gross (yet, still funny).

John Cusack might be the headlining star, but Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson steal the show. Corddry gets the most laughs, along with the raunchiest parts in the film. Hint: He's the male nudity part.

Robinson shines when his character gets on stage to perform the '80s classic "Jessie's Girl" and a song from the future "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eye Peas. When it's released, I am going to run out and get the soundtrack.

The movie opens on March 26, check it out for sure.
