Saw this film last night with the lovely Kit80, really didn't know what to expect but I haven't laughed that much in ages.

The film basically has the bare minimum of plot, loads of 80's nostalgia (we love you Chevy!), classic soundtrack, lampponing of all sorts of comedies and a really funny script.

Well worth a pre-night out viewing or a hungover brain dead watch.

That's quite a surprise, I thought (from the trailer) that it would be a very poor film. Maybe I'll get that on DVD when it comes out.

I thought it looked st from the trailer but after I saw the trailer for the second time I thought that it may be deliberately st.... which it kind of is.

Clearly the makers know that the story makes no sense and have made no effort to eplain the time travelling aspect of the hot tub.

It by no means a great film but it is funny and enjoyable viewing.

I saw it this afternoon - much better than expected. Took a while to recognise Chevy Chase...the years haven't been kind!

Just got back from seeing this and thought it was pretty good


Felt the last 5 mins a little rushed though and maybe returning back to 2010 could have been fleshed out just a bit more.

we got a early preview a week or 2 ago - the missus phoned me up to say she'd entered a prize draw on the Radio. Wasnt too enthused from the title, but we, like the rest of the cinema (the radio station had hired the screen for the preview) loved it judging by the laughter.

anyone spot 'George McFly' as the porter?
