Hoping Hot Tub is good
With John Cusack anchoring the upcoming comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, count me as one who is hoping the 1980s throwback laffer is more John Hughes and less Farrelly Brothers in orientation. I’ve always considered the 1980s my decade – the decade in which I went from 14 to 24 – so I’m rooting for this movie to do well, big time.
However, if the film reflects the mores, mentality and vocabulary of 2010 more than 1985, it’s a recipe for disaster. In my mid-40s now, I don’t enjoy going to movies that are excessively foul-mouthed, which is certainly the current trend. I intend to go to the movie if I can; but I will walk out if it’s too bawdy.
