A Note...

... to our loyal readers.

Guy is in Sweden, currently, and Girl is in Canada. No, we did not split up, as one of you has commented, but we do come from different sides of the world and this tends to happen when you are stupid enough to get involved in a long distance relationship.

So! To those of you who are expecting this website to be kept up to date on a regular basis (even after the fact that this has never happened so far), you will be disappointed.

But! We will try to watch the same movies, and we will try to write reviews about them at some point, then try to post those reviews on a semi-timely basis... maybe.

Some of you may call this a stilted promise, but we just call it reality. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, we have our feet planted firmly in it.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE


Guy’s what?


The title is enough for people to fear this movie like the plague. I’m happy to say that the writers knew how stupid this plot is. It’s actually addressed in the movie in a really funny way. I like the fact that there’s still some producers and directors out there that dare to make R-rated comedies.


Here a bunch of old friends go back to there childhood party spot to relive some of there greatest memories. Upon arriving there they find out that the town is dead and not the part place they used to know. In a desperate attempt to have some fun they start drinking heavily in the hot tub outside their hotel room. Someone spills some energy drink in the mechanics of the tub and the gang travels back through time.


Back in time they get to relive and change some of the things the liked or hated about growing up. In making a time traveling comedy you can’t help but accidentally take some stuff from the “Back to the Future” trilogy. I guess that’s ok, those are some pretty awesome movies.


Here the comedy is ranchier and a little bit more pukey. The comedians they have assembled are really funny and the movie even with the whole hot tub thing actually works and is pretty funny. As all other comedies they try to cram some heart into it. This time it didn’t feel to forced.


Guy’s Rating: There is not many good comedies out there so this is probably as good as it gets right now.


Girl’s OL: A comically self-aware movie about something so ridiculous John Cusack is the star.
