Bachelorhood
Unhappy in 2010, the recently dumped John Cusack, the powerless and hen-pecked Craig Robinson, and the possibly suicidal Rob Corddry are given a chance to re-live 1986 through an unusual time travel device in Hot Tub Time Machine.
Though Cusack's nephew (Clark Duke) appears normal in 1986, the rest of the guys look like they did as 18-year-olds, re-experiencing a weekend at a ski resort... but now they have to chose: do they recreate the past exactly as it happened, or try to fix their past mistakes and gamble with the paradoxes of time travel? Add drugs, alcohol, girls, parties, and a Poison concert, and it becomes less likely that the men (now boys) will behave responsibly. With Sebastian Stan.After his girlfriend leaves him, a slacker takes his VW micro-mini bus on a road trip from Seattle to New York in Bass Ackward.
