Steineded How sad is this?

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

OneEightNine Media Okay, now I remember. The future scenes were awful but at least they tried, dammit! How did Hot Tub Time Machine even get a sequel? Sure it was funny but not sequel worthy funny. But yeah, everyone and their mothers knew this was going to be a flop and a horrendous movie. Honestly wish I never watched it. Seriously, I need to stop watching films I know are going to be disappointing. What's his name, from the first movie does have a cameo. The man was smart enough to turn down a starring role. All the other actors were just there for a payday. This movie should have been a made for television film at best. Anyway, make sure you don't waste your time on this movie.

nukeman-00359 The reason they go back in time is because it was their second chance to redo the past and fix their own present. Now, they just go back to the time machine is because of Lou, he was the one that did his future niece and caused Adam Jr. speaking of spoiling, don't name drop better time traveling films. It just feels like i'd rather watch those instead of yours. The second thing i have against is Lou, sure he was an A- hole in the first one, but good god! he gets into a fight with a car, a freaking car! and many questions that are never answered; What was in the Cincinatti box? Why does no one call out Lou? Why does everyone care about Lou? and finally, How the heck does the whole Hot tub time machine travel work? i understand the ingredients needed for it, but still what do you have to do after that? i don't think anyone's body can take that much drugs and alcohol. Not to mention, many of the jokes here are not funny, the excessive name dropping and usually revolve around Lou being an A-hole to everyone.It was awful

dana-charter I'll be the first to admit that when the first Hot Tub Time Machine came out in 2010, I had no interest in seeing the movie. Thankfully, one of my fellow Marines convinced me to see the movie. The high jinks of Lou (Rob Corddry) and Nick (Craig Robinson) had me constantly laughing while trying to save Jacob (Clark Duke) and return to the present. All the while, Adam (John Cusack) is trying to avoid being stabbed with a fork and falling in love with April (Lizzy Caplan).Fast forward to today and I went to see the almost formulaic sequel, Hot Tub Time Machine 2. And while "formulaic sequel" might immediately send up a red flag, I feel this movie hit on most of the comedic points that I liked about the first one. Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson have 'it' when it comes to on screen comedic chemistry. The constant back and forth rarely misses and continues right where they left off in the original.Who can forget this classic moment? Who can forget this classic moment? With John Cusack not figuring to be a big part of the sequel, it was left to Clark Duke to fill his shoes, which I feel he did quite well. If there is one real weak point in the cast to me it was the addition of Adam Scott as Adam Jr. He just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the cast and for the most part was playing the unfunny guy role left open by John Cusack.Overall, if you are a fan of the type of humor that you saw in the first one, especially the bits involving Rob and Craig, then go see this movie. Don't try to make sense of the movie and the generous portions of plot holes typical of movies involving time travel, such as The Terminator. Just grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the fun.One word of note though, if you have seen the trailer, it is slightly misleading in some aspects. I hate when movies do this, but again, it is only slightly misleading as they do deliver it at the very end.

Argemaluco I found Hot Tub Time Machine an entertaining comedy with an intentionally absurd premise which handled the classic travel in time concept with geniality. There wasn't too much need to continue the story, but that has never stopped Hollywood, so we now have Hot Tub Time Machine 2, from the same director, the same screenwriter and almost all the original cast. Unfortunately, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 feels incredibly tedious, committing the classic mistake of inflating the narrative with antipathetic tangents and big doses of vulgarity and shamelessness, but without offering us a substantial characters development or reminding us why we once found them likable. And the least I say about the twists, "surprises" and paradoxes which integrate the screenplay, the better; screenwriter Josh Heald obviously aspired to reach the amusing complications from the Back to the Future saga, but he absolutely failed on that. It's a pity, because Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Rob Corddry deserve much better material than this, and I hope this piece of junk doesn't damage their opportunities to headline better projects. Or at least, projects in which they don't have to seek refuge in disgusting routines designed to stretch the running time of the film, and convince us that "transgressive" humor is funny only due to its vulgarity. That might be so in a parallel universe; but in the one I watched Hot Tub Time Machine 2, it's just pathetic.
