1. Quality

2. Summary

   Good 3.0

   A funny movie, but a misuse of a great cast. Hot Tub is one of those films that garners plenty of LOL moments, but the buffoonery is a little over the top and distracts too much to produce the consistency of one of the classics. That said, Hot Tub does a great job at capturing that special formula in 80’s goofy teen movies… Caddy Shack or Porky’s anyone?

4. Acting

   OK 2.5

   John Cusack seemed a bit out of place as the main draw, but was funny. Same goes for Craig Robinson. Rob Corrdry was hilarious as the alcoholic going nowhere buddy, and I would liked to have seen more of Crispin Glover. And Chevy Chase – almost not worth mentioning his appearances were so short and unimpressive.

5. Male Stars OK 2.5

6. Female Stars OK 2.5

7. Female Costars OK 2.5

8. Male Costars OK 2.5
