2010
Adam, on the cusp of marriage, embarks on a bachelor party trip to Havenhurst with his friends Nick and Lou, and his brother Jacob, only to find their once-beloved ski resort is now a rundown disappointment. After a night of heavy drinking in a hot tub, the group wakes up to discover they have traveled back in time to 1986. They attempt to recreate their past actions to return to the present, leading to a series of chaotic encounters, including an 80s party and a confrontation with Adam's past crush, Jennie, and her aggressive boyfriend, Blaine. The group realizes the hot tub is a time machine, and a fight over a can of Red Bull causes Blaine to choke, prompting Lou to perform the Heimlich maneuver, which triggers a time jump. Lou returns from the future, aged and wealthy, revealing he killed his younger self to ensure his success, and Adam ultimately reunites with his fiancée, Lily, at their rehearsal dinner, having navigated the temporal chaos.

Adam Coleman, Lily, Nick, Lou, JacobYou think you're better than me? Last night I made jello shots and everybody loved me. They didn't care that I only brought home 60k last year. They loved me for me. They didn't go throwing their rich parents' weight around. I don't know, Courtney.
Guys! I refuse to accept that we're stuck in 1987! Maybe you're loving it, Lou. But you don't get it. Nick's insane, Jacob's become a bigger douche than before, and I need to get back for my goddamn rehearsal dinner? Which is tomorrow!
I get it, man. Life is about these moments. Moments where a regular Joe becomes a hero. Moments where you dig deep and find the motivation... the courage... the guts to do what's right and what's necessary. It's moments like these...
You fellas look like you can handle some spice. I'm gonna knock it up a bit... throw some chili sauce in there... oh yeah, there it is. This is gonna knock your socks off.
Fine, let's just drop it. I'm glad you're feeling better. Blaine had no right to hit you. I bet he's going out of his mind right now.
The truth is there's a girl I need to go see. We have plans to spend the rest of our lives together. And I can't wait any longer.
I'm gonna get going. Thanks for being a good guy. I don't remember the last time I had this much fun playing such a stupid game.
One day, you're going to find the right guy who's willing to give up everything and travel across time and space for your love.
