Hot Tub Time Machine

(15, 94 mins, Twentieth Century Fox, DVD £19.99/Bluray £28.99)

Stars: John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Chevy Chase.

PARTY guy Lou (Corddry) and childhood pals Adam (Cusack) and Nick (Robinson) return to the Kodiac Valley skiing resort, which was the site of their greatest triumphs when they were teenagers. Adam drags along techno-savvy nephew Jacob (Duke) to a the hotel now in disrepair.

Thankfully the hot tub still works but sends them back in time in this raunchy buddy comedy that basks in the glow of nostalgia.

Alas, screenwriters Josh Heald, Sean Anders and John Morris rely on obligatory gross-out moments.

Cemetery Junction

(15, 90 mins, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, DVD £19.99/Blu-ray £24.99)

Stars: Christian Cooke, Tom Hughes, Jack Doolan, Felicity Jones, Ralph Fiennes, Ricky Gervais.

FREDDIE (Cooke) dreams of a better life while friends Bruce (Hughes) and Snork (Doolan) are happy with small-town life. He lands a door-to-door salesman with Vigilant Life Assurance and the three are forced to re-examine their friendship. Cemetery Junction is a disappointingly cosy portrait of 1970s small-town angst. If screenwriters Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had been asked to pen an episode of the long running ITV drama Heartbeat, albeit with slightly fruitier language, this would be the result.

Furry Vengeance

(PG, 91 mins, E1 Entertainment, DVD £17.99/Blu-ray & DVD Combi-pack £22.99)

Stars: Brendan Fraser, Brooke Shields, Matt Prokop, Skyler Samuels.

DAN Sanders (Fraser) works for a real estate company and is ordered to destroy vast swathes of the forest. However, a tenacious raccoon and his forest friends, including a rowdy bear, fight back to protect their stomping ground.

Screenwriters Michael Carnes and Josh Gilbert set up a final showdown with all of the subtlety of a skunk’s bottom.

Four Lions

(15, 97 mins, Optimum, DVD £19.99/Blu-ray £24.99)

Stars: Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay.

OMAR (Ahmed), a devout Muslim, spearheads a terrorist cell in the heart of multi-cultural northern Britain with best friend Waj (Novak) and paranoid, white Islamic convert Barry (Lindsay). They decide to pose as charity fun runners in a London marathon, with the aim of blowing themselves up. The thorny subject is full of writer-director Chris Morris’s trademark, scabrous wit.
