First of all, the soundtrack to Hot Tub Time Machine is awesome, which is fitting, because so is the movie. It’s hysterical. There are only 15 songs on the soundtrack album but you can find all 41 of them here, with notes on all the scenes they were in.
The first 30 minutes of the movie are the funniest I have seen in a year. And I could not help but love when the string of eighties songs kicked in. Men Without Hats, Nu Shooz, INXS and Bowie back to back was fantastic. Throw in New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, Talking Heads and Spandau Ballet – and how could you go wrong.
The writers also had a lot of fun throwing in random 80s movies references, from “I want my two dollars” in the ski lodge to the oh-so-Sixteen-Candles counter scene in the house that they broke into.
But the real musical thrill of the movie was the use of Motley Crue’s Home Sweet Home again and again. Holy crap the end video was funny. But it also played when he was singing in the car in the garage and a couple other times throughout the movie. Throw in a combo from Poison and hair band goodness is back.
