Just to be clear, anyone who went into a movie called Hot Tub Time Machine expecting anything more than a couple of laughs is an idiot.  What I liked most about the movie was that it knew it was a stupid movie, and didn't pretend to be anything other than that.

I went in with zero expectations and that didn't make it any better. It just wasn't funny. Whether I expected a lot or a little, a weak movie is a weak movie. A movie like Shoot Em Up is a movie that doesn't take itself seriously whatsoever, but is still very entertaining. HTTM just was boring.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

Dane Cook is pretty good proof that not being funny can get you a long way in comedy.

Actually, I didn't say it wasn't funny. It was funny. And it was exactly what I expected it would be. I wasn't expecting a blazing cinematic experience. It knew it was stupid...stupid can be funny. Just look at some of the nonsense you speak. Hilarious.

Pretty much thought the same thing.

BTW, Inception needs to be seen.  It's some strange mix of being incredibly complicated while simultaneously pretty basically straightforward.  I enjoyed it a lot, and it's different than any movie you're going to see for a while.

i feel like it would be awesome if pretty much every actor in the movie was replaced

affleck is a travesty

blake lively lol

jon hamm is not only miscast but probably shouldnt even think about venturing outside tv land

jeremy renners 15 minutes already ended

is there even a doubt that rebecca hall will never act again after this

and chris cooper who i know is in it wasnt even in the trailer was he?

Jon Hamm is good as Don Draper but he is pretty much the definition of a one note actor.

The funniest part of the trailer is the bolded "From the director of Gone Baby Gone" without ever stating it's Ben Affleck.

lol def...but you left out "acclaimed" like hes martin scorcese

in fact i think they want you to think scorcese did it because right after that they mention the departed
