With the inclusion of Glover and Chase in small roles pointing at the film’s influences – National Lampoon’s Back to the Future would have been an appropriate title – this tale of four friends travelling back in time in a malfunctioning hot tub, inhabiting the bodies of their teenaged selves, and generally getting up to no-good, is a decidedly shabby yet wonderfully goofy and tremendously fun little film.
