Four pals are stuck in a rut in adulthood: Adam has just been dumped, Lou is a hopeless party animal, Craig is a henpecked husband, and Jacob does nothing but play video games in his basement. But they get a chance to brighten their future by changing their past after a night of heavy drinking in a ski-resort hot tub results in their waking up in 1986.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's fun! It's corny, cheesy, serious, romantic kinda, gives you a slice of what would i do in that scenario, and a great friendship story. So much better than what was expected.

So, apparently in Mother Russia they lace their energy drinks with nuclear waste. Which in turn, when mixed with a hot tub, allows you to travel back in time. Sounds plausible to me!Yeah, this movie is more bothered with keeping it cool than keeping it in any way realistic. And, for the most part, that over the top goofiness really works in the film's favour. The situation itself is easily the best part of the whole film. Three hapless middle-age dudes – plus a tag-along – get transported into their glory days, but quickly find that the past, when viewed though the eyes of an adult, is not quite as glorious as they remember. Kind of like Groundhog Day, but as a teenage stoner comedy.What really keeps this movie from being more enjoyable to me are unfortunately the characters. The actors are fine, but the characters they portray are too straight in their clichnédness. There's the poor husband, the wimpy husband, the never-grow-up, the nerd, all of them more stereotypical than the other. And while the movie gets a lot of mileage out of them, and the ending is especially fulfilling because of it, the fact remains that they're not all that interesting and all the jokes at their expense are rather predictable.Still, it's a fun movie. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a comedy with an imaginative setting.

Not an instant classic, but a lot of fun to watch. I think you can summarize it like that. The main actors are doing a great job selling the very silly idea of time traveling with or rather inside a hot tub! If you get sucked into that, everything else will work too. But if you don't like that general idea ... Maybe you shouldn't watch the movie after all and save yourself the time (and grief).It's hilarious and it has heart, even when it's gross at times. Which it can be, but it's easy to tolerate and forgive it for those little moments, because it actually is funny. Trying to figure out how it actually works (the physics of the time travel) would probably lead into a territory the movie would not want you to go ... and why would you want to ruin your own enjoyment ... if you're having fun watching - stick with it

I love this movie. It's funny, it's inventive, and it's never been done before. I love that it's time travel, but not a serious movie, it's one that makes you laugh, rather than think about the impossibilities of the situation. I think my favorite part is when everyone goes back to the present, and Lou has changed everything.In this movie, three friends, Adam, whose girlfriend just dumped him, Nick, who has a dead- end job and a cheating wife, and Lou, a suicidal alcoholic, are all in need of something. When Lou tries to kill himself, the three, and Adam's nephew, Jacob, all go to the last place the three were really happy. A Winter resort that they went to when they were eighteen. It was their party place and is now a dump. But when they all start drinking in their hot tub, they wake up in 1986, in their younger bodies, and they get the chance to relive the best time of the their lives. Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
