When I first heard about Hot Tub Time Machine, I shook my head and thought, “No way. What a weird idea.”

Now, Chevy Chase is the latest to join the cast of  the comedy being directed by Steve Pink.  The three leads are John Cusack, Rob Corddry, and Craig Robinson, along with Lizzy Caplan, Crispin Glover, Lyndsy Fonseca, and Clark Duke.

The story is a hard one to swallow. It involves a hot tub that turns out to be a time machine and takes the three old friends back to their days of glory. Chase gets to play a crazy repairman, who at times seems “completely off his rocker,” yet is the only one who can return the friends to the present day.
