Hot Tub Time Machine 2

Boorish and crass, homophobic and misogynistic, the very definition of sloppy seconds — par for the course where the present generation of male-driven, R-rated, “Hangover”-aping franchise comedies are concerned. That it somehow manages to send you out of the theater feeling tickled rather than sullied may be a mystery as impenetrable as the cosmos.

The film isn’t bad, although it is somewhat repetitive. If it has plot holes, conceptual laziness and an overreliance on dumb-insult humor, the film at least seems to know it. There are lots of self-referential jokes that acknowledge its own stupidity.

Despite some choice improvisations, we're given no running gag as endearing as the first film.

The sequel is dominated by Rob Corddry, a fearless funnyman best taken in tiny doses. The doses aren’t tiny enough and the laughs are few and far between this time in the tub.

Given the considerable comedic talents of Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Adam Scott et al., and the ragged, what-the-hell charms of the original “Hot Tub Time Machine,” it’s surprising how rotten this movie is from start to finish.

Like a hot tub itself, it looks inviting, but all too soon you've had enough.

This version of the time machine is more powerful — it’s made me go back and hate the original.

So far the funniest movie I saw this year. I don't understand why there are a lot of negative reviews. I laugh so much that I almost pissed my pants. It was a very great unique movie, without any of that comedy rust jokes. Very creative piece of material. Don't mind the negative reviews it is an animal comedy, if you like the first one you will love this sequel.

Landing in a wrong timeline! Feels like 2010 was a long ago, so I don't remember the first film much. Looks like it is an unnecessary sequel, particularly when a very important character goes missing. Even the first film was not great, though that was considered a mainstream film and this one slipped into the B category. An average story, the theme was not used properly. I'm not talking about the plot holes, but the story construction and its characters. The old friends meet again after becoming famous and millionaires, but when one of them met an accident, they decide to go back in time to fix it. Instead, they enter a wrong timeline and from there how they get back is what revealed in the remaining narration. The comedies were okay types, but I expected a better one. The twist was very ordinary, for a time travel theme people anticipates a smart twist, but it fell short to stand up to the mark. Whatever, the production was awesome, all the special effects were acceptable. I mean it did not strongly relied on them, but according to the story's requirement, it managed so well. Less entertainment, but very much watchable and suits as a timepass product. I think the scenes at the end credits are for fun, but it also looks like a hint for possible third film. I'm not against that idea, but if it has a good story and upgraded cast like maybe new ones, I surely look forward. 4.5/10

"You're a **** Nerd and No One Likes You". Okay I got to admit that's the only thing funny in this whole movie. Hot Tub Time Machine 2 takes place right after the first movie with Lou seems to have it all - before a mysterious assassin leaves him nearly dead. But a trip in the hot tub time machine could save him... except it takes, Lou, Nick and Jacob to the future - where they determine the assassin must have originated from. What I liked so much about the first film is that the whole movie is self aware of itself and even the characters pulled a strange and WTF look when they went back in time in a hot tub. The rest of the movie was pretty funny with some hit and miss jokes or and the cast was great with everyone doing a fine performance. Then I heard about a squeal in the works for a while that I didn't expect to get even made at least, and after seeing Hot Tub Time Machine 2 I can say it's nothing like Horrible Bosses 2 or any other squeal that didn't do well but I wouldn't really call it good as well. I'm not going to go into full detail for this movie, it's not because I'm lazy it's because since it came out in February which means this review is late so I imagine people wouldn't really care for movie since nobody is talking about but just me. The movie itself is a mess and the trailer for this movie is the only good thing about it. Some jokes hit and miss a lot. Overall Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is an forgettable squeal bait that good all HollyWood is good for.

Wow, what a mess of a film. Strangely it wasn't as bad as I thought it could be... until the very end. Then it was a whole lot worse. Overall messy editing/acting and plot. It felt like a rushed cocaine fuelled cash-cow that failed horribly.

Tough to say this but without straight man Cuzak from the first movie, this movie is off the railing pretty quick. Another demonstration that sequels rarely work. As with the previous, I did like the flashback/reminising of the past-including the music and dress. But after 45 minutes, it was enough.
