Jump in: 'Hot Tub Time Machine' gets red trailer

Here's the first red band teaser for Steve Pink's upcoming comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine," which stars John Cusack and is set for release Feb. 26, 2010.

The film follows a group of adults who jump into a hot tub and are transported back in time, to when they were much younger. Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Chevy Chase co-star.

Judging solely by this teaser, "Hot tub" looks rather crappy. Sure, Robinson delivers one or two of his usual, vulgar lines, but apart from that, this one's darn lame.

Pink also directed 2006's comedy "Accepted," which I failed to enjoy as well. I can only hope this hot tub thing will turn out better than this preview makes it out to be.

Craig Robinson, Heather Graham, Johnny Knoxville and Camilla Belle are joining Kevin Spacey in Trent Cooper's upcoming comedy "Father of Invention."

The Hollywood Reporter says Cooper and Krane and Nichole Beatty wrote the script, which follows a stinking rich inventor (Spacey) who goes to jail after one of his creations goes wrong. Once he's released, he runs into several struggles making up time with his family.

The trade reports Robinson plays the husband of the inventor's ex-wife. Belle is on-board as his daughter, and Graham will star as her lesbian roommate. Knoxville will play a store manager who hires Spacey after his prison time.

Craig Robinson's credits include "Pineapple Express," "The Office" and "Zack and Miri Make a Porno." Belle last starred in "Push," while Knoxville was last seen in "The Ringer." Graham is currently onscreen in "The Hangover."
