Movie Review: Hot Tub Time Machine

I watched Hot Tub Time Machine a couple of weeks back and while I mostly thought it sucked, I was slightly amused that a very small subplot had to do with the Browns vs. Broncos playoff game that resulted in "The Drive". The guys go back in time to the day of that game and once they realize that they know exactly what's going to happen, one of the guys bets on the outcome of that game. You know, the standard M.O. in time travel movies, the trying to make money off of the past. No one can believe that the Broncos come back to win so they take that bet. And.... "The Drive" doesn't happen. The Browns keep their lead and move on to the Super Bowl. Ha ha, only in the movies.

Beyond that, it was a very predictable and not especially funny movie. I was disappointed.
