Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

Not even the affable presence (and undoubted period relevance) of John Cusack can save Steve Pink's comedy from its own mediocrity. And when it's not just ordinary, it's pretty awful.

V and I both managed to find just one thing properly funny. She got a giggle from the on-going amputation gag, and after sitting through almost the whole movie straight-faced, the scene where Nick calls up his nine-year-old future wife finally squeezed a rather reluctant chortle out of me.

Grade: C(+)
