I'm surprised it took me so long to get around to watching this. I was reminded lately since the 3rd movie is about to come out. Anyhow, I must say, this movie had more one-liners than a Tyrese movie. I remembered the first one being a little cheesy, but this one was off da chain. Edward- "Your breath is my gift." Are you kidding me? Who says that? So clearly, I'm Team Jacob now. I remember pausing the movie an hour into it for a restroom break and when I went to resume the movie, it showed the movie was 2:10 long. I was like, "ugh, another hour of this..." But sure enough, as soon as the movie ended, I said to myself, "Noooo, give me more!"

OHMYGOD, I didn't realize Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhall would be in the SAME MOVIE. I haven't been this excited since Corey Haim and Corey Feldman appeared in the same TV show. I mean, c'mon, are there 2 other unrelated actors that look like they should be related...or even the same person? You just don't know how many times I've confused which one was Spiderman and which one got pounded by Heath Ledger. It's like they're the same person! Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about the movie. Wow! What an INTENSE movie! The casting and the acting in it were superb especially the great lengths that Tobey went through to play the part. By the way, although the movie was good, I don't recommend it. It's like that Nick Cage movie "8mm" or the Monica Belluci movie "Irreversible." Those movies were good, but I don't recommend them to people. Plus, the ending was one of the worst endings of all time!

This is one of those rare movies that started out slow, then got great in the middle, and then ended badly. For the first 30 minutes, I kept questioning the casting: would I have liked the awkward kid from "Superbad" instead in the male lead? Would Jessica Alba or would "Girl Next Door" Elisha Cutbert have been better as the female lead? So while I'm thinking about those things, I chuckle here and there. And then out of nowhere, during the middle of the movie, everything just clicked - the movie got funnier, you didn't doubt the casting, and the movie was somewhat believable. And sure enough, like coming down from a drug high, everything started to suck again. In the end, it's a great "plane" movie and maybe even worthy of a Netflix queue, but I'm not going around recommending the movie to anyone.

Hot Tub Time Machine

This has to rank up there with one of the most unintentionally intentional comedy ever made. What I mean by that is that the movie was supposed to be a comedy, but it wasn't all that funny, and it was so bad, that it was almost good. I think I may have chuckled a handful of times throughout the movie. The thing I enjoyed the most about the movie was the 80's soundtrack. I think the problem with the movie was in the casting - John Cusack is a "Gross Pointe Blank" type of funny; he's not "did they just make a movie about a hot tub time machine" movie. The funniest guy was the black guy; the others were just sorta thrown together. Definitely no "Hangover." The movie wasn't bad enough for me to want to turn off, but I can't recommend anyone to watch it either. I guess that makes it a good "plane" movie then.
