Hot Tub Time Machine, A Satisfying Soak

With a title and premise like Hot Tub Time Machine, you know what you're getting as soon as you walk in. There are no pretenses, no expectations, and the movie probably gets funnier with the more chemicals that are in your bloodstream. It's a buddy comedy fashioned after last year's blockbuster hit The Hangover. The movie follows three friends - Adam (John Cusack), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Lou (Rob Corddry) - each going through his own mid-life crisis and throws in Adam's nephew, Jacob (Clark Duke) as a young outsider for good measure. One of the characters' crisis inspires a weekend trip to a ski lodge, the scene of many of their favorite young adult memories and antics but now a run-down hole. The men make the best of the situation, have a wild night of drinking in a mysterious hot tub, and wake up to find themselves in 1986; the three older men in their 1986 bodies while Jacob remains himself. There's some talk of the space-time continuum using Terminator as a reference and the group decides to do their best to go through the motions of that specific night without doing something to completely throw off the timeline, a plan that goes out the window pretty quick. more ›

Morgan says only about 100 people played golf, that the Caddyshack cast members who did show (Bill Murray and Chevy Chase weren't there) left early, and now she's on the... more ›

European Vacation

Because of the weather it's a little hard for it sink in: spring is coming. And with spring (for us, anyway) comes an overwhelming wanderlust, not just the desire to get out of our coats and gloves but also to see somewhere new. While you could be a bachelor in Paris or take a romantic snorkel for two someplace, you could just as easily stay in town and still see 24 countries that span Europe.... more ›

Fore! Bill Murray Brings Caddyshack to Chicago

Bill Murray owns a what now? A restaurant? Wait. Restaurants? As in plural? So it seems that North Shore native Murray, as well as his brothers, own a small, fast-casual chain of golf-themed restaurants in Florida and South Carolina called, naturally, Murray Bros. Caddyshack Restaurants. And according to the Trib today, they're looking to bring one or two of them to Chicago. Let us state of the record that we at Chicagoist are huge Bill... more ›
