LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

alindsay-al For a start I have never seen the first hot tub time machine but I get the idea so I watched this completely average sequel. The premise sees one of the crew get killed in present day so they have got to use the hot tub time machine to go to the future. Now all of the crew were good in this film including nick robinson and adam scott. Everybody played there role well and their chemistry felt real in the film. However, some of the other characters your meant to care about aren't that effective in their roles. The story is just overly convoluted and confusing for a comedy. Plus there are some really pointless sub plots in this film that end up really not mattering. The script had some funny dialogue and I liked most of the pop culture references. But, when they try the drama it just doesn't work and neither does some of the humour. The style is sometimes grotesque and at times it is funny but at times it just seems really cheap. Overall this isn't a terrible film but only has a few decent laughs. If you do watch this film continue watching after the credits for the best part of the film.

The Couchpotatoes I actually don't remember if I found that the first Hot Tub Time Machine movie was funny or not but what is for sure is that the second Hot Tub Time Machine a piece of garbage is. It is supposed to be funny, that's what comedy is about. And I don't know what they tried at every second of the movie, but it for sure was not funny at all. I laughed once during the whole movie, and even that laugh was kind of forced. It is probably one of the worst comedies I ever saw in my life, and I can tell you I saw a lot of awful movies. Adam Scott is probably one of the least funny actors in the business. I don't know if it's just me but in Parks and Recreation (that I absolutely love by the way) he is also the weakest link. That guy is just not funny at all, and I don't get why they make him play comedies because it won't ever work with him. Rob Corddry was also extremely unfunny and annoying. How this movie can still get a 5.1 rating is beyond me. It's a disgrace to real comedies. I rather watch paint dry then watching this garbage again.

aesgaard41 To understand why this movie stinks, one has got to understand what made the first movie better than just a would-be "Hangover" clone with a time machine. It was a movie about second chances. It was about three guys who are generally obnoxious to each other whose lives and fates went askew after a vacation and the second chance they got to go back and do it right. It turns out their miserable lives have an effect on the surroundings around them, such as ruining the lodge and town around it, but after things are put back on track, things become prosperous for everyone around them as well. It was also a humorous retro look at the nostalgia factor of the Eighties. Unfortunately, its sequel ignores all the good parts of the first movie and amplifies all the worst qualities of it – the pointless nudity, the unending obscenities, the drug references, the anti-social behavior and the contempt and impertinence between three guys who are supposed to be good friends. Worst off, it is all without John Cusack, without who this movie should not have been made. Cusack did the first movie for just a paycheck, and he wisely stayed away from this sequel knowing it was not going to be as good as the first. As a comic foil, Rob Corddry is hilarious, but he can't pull off an entire film by himself and that's where this movie already fails. In the film, it turns out that both he and Craig Robinson's characters have exploited their knowledge of the future to become big successes, much to the alienation of everyone around them. Not sure how this works since Corddry was the only one to stay behind; I guess young Robinson's character retained memories from his future self. Corddry has amassed a huge business empire and become the largest obnoxious jerk in the world because of it, so when he gets shot in the groin at a party, they speculate they have to go back in time to catch his killer. How he survives the huge blood loss is never explained, but they use another hot tub to travel in time and end up in the future, but it's not a dystopian future. It's a sociopathic, sadistic, deranged, substance-abuse future based on Corddry's warped life. It's lacking in morality, decency and honor with TV shows catering to public humiliation, nonsensical murder and licentiousness appealing only to psychopaths, anti-social rejects and anyone with a three-second memory. It's a penis-obsessed world where Corddry feels oddly at home, but where the audience can only cringe and watch in disgusted disbelief. There is nothing redeeming in this plot, which is often offensive for offensive sake. Very few of the jokes are actually funny, and once again, it is left to Clark Duke to practically explain what is going on here. Adam Scott is basically and sadly dragged along for the ride trying to hold on to a script that wanders off more times than it holds on, but the film does have frequent cameos and science fiction references. Overall, it's not a very good follow-up to a movie that didn't need a sequel, and Hollywood must have been aware of this fact by the way they over-promoted this film. It just wasn't worth it. I definitely could have waited the year for this movie to come out on Comedy Central heavily censored and edited to watch instead of wasting the ten bucks to see it in the theater.

George Richman I have lost time out of my life. This film is an abysmal mess. I watched it first for 15 minutes and could not take anymore. And, a month later, I tried to continue watching the movie, but could not even watch another 5 minutes before pulling the plug or smashing my TV. The storyline straddles between the absurd and the overtly obnoxious. Joke sequences are improvised and spliced together with what seems like bad takes. I am not a complainer. I like stupid movies like Blades of Glory and at my worst enjoyed Rob Schneider's, Benchwarmers, but this film is in the gutter along with dirty syringes and runoff resulting in a complete waste of time. There can not ever be a spoiler alert for this movie because nothing can be spoiled in it. In my opinion only, a hunk of garbage with festering vegetables and rotting meat is a good way to explain how I feel about this movie. And the fact that IMDb requires more than ten lines of text for reviews makes me even more upset considering the additional time I have wasted writing this review.I leave good reviews when warranted, but there is no reason for a good rating here. Any review more than one star should not be taken seriously. Moving on.
