Pretty Funny Trailer For ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’

After the big success of The Hangover, male-bonding comedies are going big. One with a slightly sci-fi take is upcoming comedy ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’, which stars John Cusack, Craig Robinson and Rob Corddry to boot. We now have a trailer that is pretty hilarious with one little problem.

“Hot Tub Time Machine” follows a group of best friends who’ve become bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob (Clark Duke) won’t leave his basement. After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads’ pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures – one will find a new love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he still exists!

The problem evident here is that the trailer is modeled exactly like ‘The Hangover’ just to cash in on that film. “What the hell happened last night?” – isn’t this random line proof enough? It looks to be a high concept idea (Craig Robinson is hilarious) and I hope they don’t spoil the originality by making a rip-off.

Hilarious trailer after the jump!
