Parody[edit]

I saw a trailer for this movie. Are we sure it's not parody? I can't imagine any logical person investing money into this movie. Keegscee (talk) 19:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What percent of consumers do you think is logical? If you want to make money, do you think it's more logical to make an intelligent movie that appeals to the high-minded minority or something that appeals to the masses? 71.161.59.15 (talk) 00:58, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Parody isn't a major movie category but movies that are largely parodys are instead included within the Comedy section. Jon (talk) 22:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I've got a graduate degree in economics and really want to see this movie. I also own The Fame Monster. So really, watch with the judgements, man. People having different tastes is perfectly logical. -Mike —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.70.28.164 (talk) 05:06, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reason for the wiki page listing Cusack as every role? Is that some sort of joke in the credits or did some prankster just change it for no reason? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.74.14 (talk) 19:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

^nvm^ I see it's been fixed now :) Good ole' Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.74.14 (talk) 19:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Needless addition[edit]

Removed "Although some have disliked its constant derogatory use of the words gay and faggot. Many groups have put out negative reviews for this reason." from the "Reception" section. This type of statement is reserved for "Criticism" sections/subsections.

As well, put a source citing at least three of these "many groups" unless you want your post perceived as an individual personal rant on a public page instead of using the discussion section.

Personally, I think a "Criticism" section is unwarranted for this reason as there are plenty of movies with far worse language without criticism sections over it (i.e. Boondock Saints, American History X, etc.).Hierophantius (talk) 01:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed a link to a free pirate website today. 07 July 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.181.182.14 (talk) 18:41, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also took out a link today. Hopefully someone keeps an eye on this page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.57.254.169 (talk) 10:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the movie's use of "fuck" and "shit" more. Of course, this was the Unrated version, and I haven't seen the rated version, so I'm not sure if they say those words as much in the theatrical release. 68.36.120.7 (talk) 03:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Back to the Future[edit]

Anyone notice the allusions to "Back to the Future" and other time travel flicks and shows in "Hot Tub Time Machine"? 68.36.120.7 (talk) 03:30, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, didn't notice any worth noting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.133.75.73 (talk) 08:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

Just finishing a trim and rephrase of the plot, which had some awkward phrasing that was adding quite a bit to the length. One specific thing: I pulled the note that Phil had both arms from the end because he wasn't mentioned anywhere else in the summary. Consequently, no one reading it who hadn't seen the film had no clue there was a Phil who was missing any arms to begin with. I'm a little fuzzy on this flick so I thought I'd mention it in case someone wanted to find a way to put it back in. I'm fairly certain I cut enough that some points I glossed over can be re-added without the summary getting bloated again. Cheers and happy editing.

I dispute the plot summary[edit]

The plot summary states that Lou commits suicide and the rest of the film is hallucination. I have heard this theory on IMDB and it has been strongly disputed. If there is proof that it's an hallucination, fine, but if it's in question then the plot summary on Wikipedia should be altered to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.238.1.135 (talk) 15:40, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That edit was just done within the last two days. THanks for bringing it up; I missed it completely. Millahnna (talk) 19:11, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DVD[edit]

No mention that HTTM made an insane amount of DVD? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.30.71.10 (talk) 16:25, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
