So this story is about three friends that have drifted apart over the years and had their share of life's problems. They are forced to come together when Lou(Rob Corddry) "attempts suicide"(really he was just drunk driving and when he got to his house he accidentally closed his garage door and revved his engine causing carbon monoxide poising.) This brings his two old friends Adam(John Cusack) and Nick(Craig Robinson) to his aide. They decide to go to their old hang-out, a mountain resort in a ski town. Nick brings his nephew Jacob(Clark Duke) because Jacob doesn't want to move in with his mom and her new boyfriend. Together the four of them head to the resort and talk about what is happening in each of their lives. When they get to the town they find it very run down and not how they remember it. Once they get settled into their room, which is the same room that they always get, they decide to get into the hot tub. They start partying and shit goes crazy. They wake up and after a few encounters with some of the other people at the resort they realize that they have traveled back in time to 1986. They also realize that they look exactly like they did in 1986. Now because they saw the "Butterfly Effect" they decide that they need to do everything exactly the same way they did it in 1986. They go about trying to do this and in the process they come back together as friends. Awww.

This movie was great. I would say it's a poor man's "The Hangover". This film is full of crude humor and cussing.(my favorites) I loved the fact that all of the funny parts in this film weren't in the previews. I hate when movies do that, it's like why did I even pay to see this movie all the good stuff was in the commercials, but this film wasn't like that. The four main characters in this actually do a pretty good job of working together and make it seem like they were actually friends. I was glad to see Rob Corddry get a bigger role than what he is used to, he did a great job. The only, somewhat, weak part of the main cast was Cusack. Going into it I thought he was a weird cast and maybe that's why I feel he was the weakest but he wasn't too bad. It made me laugh hard at parts and cringe at others. It threw in some aspects of another one of my favorite time travel movies, "Back to the Future." You know in "Back to the Future" when Marty McFly(Michael J. Fox) goes to the past and starts to disappear when the future isn't going to turn out like it's supposed to, well they do that in this one only a little more techy than they did it in 1985. Also George McFly(Crispin Glover)is in this one as the bell hop. I'm not sure if these two things were paying homage to the classic film or if it's just coincidence but either way I liked it. I will say it did have some slow and somewhat serious parts and Chevy Chase is randomly in it and not funny at all but other than that this is an awesome film. I loved it.

One thing that always bugs me with time travel movies is that there is always a hole in the story somewhere. Something always doesn't make sense but the great thing about comedy time travel movies is that your not supposed to take it seriously so it doesn't matter. You can't let yourself get caught up in that either just know it's dumb and don't give the time travel problems a second thought.

So I loved this movie. I would recommend it to anyone, well anyone that likes dumb comedies and doesn't mind low brow crude humor. I give it a low A.
