Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@pleutron]

Don't try watching this reaction while trying to drink a beverage, eat a snack or smoke a cigarette. This edit keeps you laughing nearly the entire time.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Glad we can make you giggle

[@chiplundsmark5936]

I remember a documentary about Back to the Future saying they had a hard time finding a studio to make it. Disney saying it was way too raunchy, and all the other studios saying it wasn't raunchy enough. Hot Tube Time Machine is what I think you would get if the other studios had gotten their way...

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

The timing is interesting, albeit in a tragic way: Lizzy Caplan (April) dated Matthew Perry from 2006 until 2012. John Cusack (who was Gordie's deceased older brother in Stand By Me) joined the cast based purely on the title. Clark Duke reportedly came up with the idea of having Lou be Jacob's father. Crispin Glover (the dad from Back to the Future) was originally supposed to scream when the accident happens, but he convinced director Steve Pink that it would make more sense that he would be in shock and couldn't say anything. Sebastian Stan's character Blaine claims to be fighting Communists. Interestingly, Stan himself was born in Romania when it was still under Communist rule. This was the last film that MGM and United Artists distributed together. British actor Steve Coogan was originally supposed to play Chevy Chase's character, but he declined the role.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

They end scene with Motely Lue is a tribute to Motely Crue. Lou's introduction starts with it playing in his Trans Am and at the end. It is a remake of their actual MTV music video. So, if you had seen the original "Home Sweet Home" video, it would be a lot cooler that they edited Lou into the lead singer part seamlessly.

[@andyrunton]

It’s still the best part of the whole movie, though! 🥰🤘

[@LordVolkov]

John Cusack (and his stunt doubles 😅) also ski in the 80's comedy Better Off Dead. Great for the holiday season 😉

The fact that this movie came out 13 years ago makes me feel old. Because this movie feels like it's only 3 or 4 years old.

[@st0n3p0ny]

I can't even imagine real comedies being made today... is it even legal?

[@TotemoGaijin]

They pretty much stopped making comedies after the mid 2010s though.

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

There WERE cellphones in the 801 First one was 1983 and it was connected to a briefcase sized transmitter. They got smaller faster, but they were all enormous compared to current phones.

[@76tennboy]

I think knowing seven people in a single movie is actually pretty good

[@juanpaulr]

The movie where the humor just progressed. Unlike other comedies where the humor dies halfway through. One of my favorite comedies.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'll watch the 2nd one in 2024

[@Billis75]

There are probably a ton of John Cusak requests on your channel, so I'm sure you'll be seeing more of him. Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Grosse Pointe Blank

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'll add them for sure

[@christopherb501]

And on the subject of destiny, Serendipity.

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

The cell phones of the 90s actually looked like cell phones... I got my first one in 1997 and was one of the first people I knew who had one, but it would only take a few years for them to become something almost everybody had. The few that existed in the 80s were either the gigantic bricks like that one guy was holding that look like satellite phones or something, or they were corded to a suitcase that doubled as a giant battery, or they were in some rich person's car. If you had a cell phone in the 80s you were either some corporate Wall Street investor douche bag (probably what the skier here was supposed to represent), a drug dealer, a doctor, a head of state, or Zach Morris. Remember in Scream (1996) when Syndey's boyfriend dropped a cell phone, it was considered suspicious and strange. But... they did exist. Just weren't common until c.1998-2000, and by the late 2000s they were ubiquitous.

[@OSVS_Mike]

John Cusack was great in Rob Reiner's The Sure Thing (1985) with Dahne Zuniga (Spaceballs), Tim Robbins, several others.

[@YourMothersMan]

I honestly think part 2 is just as great

[@ae86takumi]

“Is that the life you want though? ! “ F to the yes 😂

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Might be fun for a bit but it will get old quick

[@michaelrosenblum4170]

My dad and I watched this on DVD at home. Kept telling my niece who was only a few years old to stay in the other room while we watched this. Then found out Gabriella Giffords was shot that day. One of my favorite movies but weird memories from watching it. Great reaction

[@kylekeicher83]

I lived in Tucson at the time. I remember it was all over the news. It's a miracle she survived.

[@riada4996]

11:21 According to a quick Google search, the Motorola Dynatac 8000X (aka "The Brick.") was the first internationally massproduced cellphone in 1985. Although the first cellphone was developed in 1980/1981 in Sweden. Cellphones existed, but they were extremely expensive and certainly not a common man item, like today..

[@kellyadams79]

Yeah they had those big clunky cells. I remember watching when I was 8, Zack in Saved by the Bell had one, if you were rich.

[@heritageparkduncan4307]

Fun movie, brings back memories of the 80's! (I worked at a ski resort in the 90's also). For another fun John Cusack movie, I would like to suggest Grosse Pointe Blank. Its a (dark) comedy/action movie.

[@WolfStarbuck]

or Con Air, or Better Off Dead, or Runaway Jury... all really good John Cusack movies :)

[@jkt4748]

It’s an amazing movie ! A must watch.

[@Anakinskywalkerfan1]

What about 2012 lol

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the funniest Sci Fi Comedy movies ever made! I wish the Sequel could have been better.

[@3DJapan]

The Spin reporter was Lizzy Caplan. She was in the series Masters of Sex and the Netflix show GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling).

[@gregkirby9059]

1980s had those large cell phones but only rich people had them

[@melvinwren]

John Cusack as "Adam", was in Stand By Me, of course he was younger then and, he played "Denny" the older brother of main character. Rob Corddry or "Lou" had small role in Old School as "Warren" one of the pledges. dont remember him speaking. but he is included in the scene with the cinderblocks for sure. Clark Duke as "Jacob" was very very small role in "Superbad", he was at that party where they tried to steal alcohol from and it got busted by the police and McLovin. he might of had a spoken line, but i dont remember it. he is first person the two cops talk to when they enter the house. Sebastian Stan, as "Blaine" the ski-patrol kid who keeps beating up Lou, you might remember from Captain America, as "Bucky Barnes", this was filmed before that so hes just a few years younger i think.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Didn't know that

[@TotemoGaijin]

Actually I'd say Clark was probably more well known at the time for his role as Dale in the show Greek. Same year as Superbad though.

[@mikemath9508]

craig robinson calling up his to-be-wife and all "this doesn't concern you jerry" rules

[@st0n3p0ny]

"He's got two arms! Get him!"... still one of my favorite movie lines.

[@KrazyKat007]

“Edward Scissorhands” (1990) for the Christmas season!!!!!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

[@geneeverett7855]

Never heard of John Cusack? Man U got a lot of movies to watch!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Yes I do, you should check out a LOT of my channel. At the beginning I didn't know ANYONE. It's bad.

[@bobapjok4241]

love this movie. the 80s were so great.

[@RobPresq1717]

You're awesome and I love your laugh and sense of humor. I liked this movie a LOT more than I thought I would. There's just something about it I can relate to. I'd probably be Lou and also want to stay there in the 80's since today's society just isn't for me. I miss payphones, writing letters by hand and sending them to loved ones across the country with an envelope and stamps, and no existence, whatsoever of the dreaded social media and even more dreaded cell phones. The way people have their heads down buried in their cell phones 24/7 is absolutely pathetic. I feel sorry for them. It's probably been mentioned already, but "Nick Webber" was played by Craig Robinson who was a long-time character on The Office. But if you never watched the series, then you certainly wouldn't have recognized him.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Nope sorry never seen The Office before

[@geneeverett7855]

There were indeed cellphones in eighties. Just cost thousands

[@jeremeywilson2318]

Yes 👏🏼😂 Such an awesome soundtrack too!!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Agreed

[@edmo922]

If you don't know who John Cusack is, you should look him up. He was an 80s icon, that's kind of one of the jokes in this movie. I would recommend Better Off Dead, Say Anything, and One Crazy Summer from the 80s, and then High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank for some of his later stuff.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I really try not to google anything anymore about celebrities. It just ruines future stuff for me. I'll add your movies to my list though

[@8014rick]

So happy you did this one! It's one of my favorites but it goes under the radar. So glad you liked it. Second one is worth the watch, you know what you are in for.

Clarke Duke who plays Jacob is in a pretty raunchy but I think funny movie called “Sex Drive”. The unrated version is best no one has ever reacted to it that I’ve seen and don’t think you will also. But it would be cool if you did.

[@76tennboy]

😂 on the one hand I can’t believe that this is the highest priority movie to watch at the moment on the other hand I do think it’s a lot of fun, so I’m definitely down for the reaction/review :-)
