"Hot Tub" follows a group of young men who, after a night of vodkas and Red Bulls in a hot tub, travel back in time and set out to rediscover their youthful "mojo."

"We're always looking for ways to stand out from the rest of the pack in today's crowded marketplace, and what better way than to combine hot tub debauchery and the complications of time travel," said MGM executive vice president production Cale Boyter.
