Not to be cliche, but I did want to like this movie because I really enjoyed the first one and the critics have been hard n it, but the bad reviews are accurate. This movie lost touch of what the first one was, and a lot of the charactersNot to be cliche, but I did want to like this movie because I really enjoyed the first one and the critics have been hard n it, but the bad reviews are accurate. This movie lost touch of what the first one was, and a lot of the characters aren't who they were before. Granted that is part of the plot in the end with different dimensions having different Lou's, but Hot Tub Time Machine 2 was almost entirely dick jokes, and a crappy murder mystery.

What it said about artists that become stale and milk their careers until they are a joke is the best plot point of the movie and I think that angle was really well done, but other than that small side-story, this film was awful.… Expand

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is one of the circles of h*ll just really painful to be in, unpleasant, and you want nothing more to get out. You’ll be asking yourself why are you here and what I did I do to deserve this. The sad part about this filmHot Tub Time Machine 2 is one of the circles of h*ll just really painful to be in, unpleasant, and you want nothing more to get out. You’ll be asking yourself why are you here and what I did I do to deserve this. The sad part about this film is that some of the satire humor works and the cast is enjoyable to watch but all that is buried under all the stuff that doesn’t work. The story of the film lacks any heart and interesting ideas using time travel just for a ton of references to movies that are way better than this one; penis jokes along with other types of gross out humor; and scenes that revolting to watch. While sequels tend to suck the idea of going into the future could lead to some good satire but rather than explore that they just get lazy and do a bunch of laughs. I could criticize this film for ripping off Back to the Future Part II but those are too different genres and several gags in this film do work and had the film been smarter about its humor and hadn’t hit the lazy button it could’ve been entertaining. Instead this film does all the lazy tropes you’d expect of a terrible sequel. I would recommend avoiding this film at all costs. If you need to see this film either watch it illegally online or just wait for it to come out on DVD. You’ll hate it a lot less if you are watching it of your own free will and weren’t forced to see it in theaters like I was. If I had a hot tub I’d go back in time and make sure I never went and saw this movie or prevented it from being made.… Expand

One of the two worst movies I've seen in 14 - 15, the other being Sex Tape. But Sex Tape beats it out because I at least laughed twice in that one. This?

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is a gross, horribly written and badly unfunny sequel to the original.

I really thought that thisHot Tub Time Machine 2 is a gross, horribly written and badly unfunny sequel to the original. It perpously uses elements and jokes from other movies and it's predecessor and shoves them in a badly written script. I really thought that this adventure in time would feature some cool things, like we haven't seen a raunchy science fiction comedy in a while. But no, the movie falls so low that you will be tired to even hear Rob Codrrey talk again, and that is saying something. HTTM2 is a bad movie, it isnt a comedy, it is a mashup of dick jokes, boobs and unflattering comedy. Does that mean this isn't even a movie?… Expand

If only I could get my hands on the machine of the title, so I could go back in time and unlatch this monstrosity. The first film had a certain charm, this certainly hasn't!

This is one of the worst sequel of the year and that's a good thing. Thank goodness I skipped to this waste and see Kingsman instead. I love the entire cast (even though Lisa Loeb made a cameo), but the rest of the movie is just awfully bad. The script is lame, same humor jokes but little less fun, and I don't know what's worst, this or last year's Sex Tape. I guess HTTM2 is just not as bad as I think, but it's the sequel nobody wanted or asked for.… Expand

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. What a sad mess. I grimaced the entire time and think I half chuckled once to see if I was still alive.

I grimaced the entire time and think I half chuckled once to see if I was still alive. I loved the first one and my bad for not looking at a single review before I bought a ticket. I went to a 7:45 showing with my 21 yr old son (a bonding night, LOL) and there were only 2 other people in the theater. I'm actually surprised it got an MC rating as high as 31. I've watched Master of Disguises (got a 12) and that seems like a comedy classic next to this one.… Expand

This movie is a big drag with a bunch of cringe worthy attempts at humor. HTTM 2 should have gone straight to Dvd. The first movie was very good, but comedy sequals seem to usually be bad.

I wasn't even really a big fan of the first film but I watched this movie anyway and it turned out to be a waste of my time. First off the series loses on John Cusack who is really the only person that had the ability to lead the cast. I couldn't stand Rob Corddry in this film, he was just such a douchebag. I was drawn to this movie because of Adam Scott but even he didn't impress me. Really Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is just full of a bunch of comedy actors that have suffered in the supporting cast for years and now we know why. Please don't waste your time.… Expand

There was no reason for a sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine. There wasn't any conceivable place for the plot to go. This movie just proves that. There isn't really a plot here at all. Just a stupid concept that is lifelessly dragged around soThere was no reason for a sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine. There wasn't any conceivable place for the plot to go. This movie just proves that. There isn't really a plot here at all. Just a stupid concept that is lifelessly dragged around so that the writer(s) could try to make a few jokes and cash in on the first movie. None of that would have mattered though had this movie been funny. It's not.

To be honest usually comedies like this are right up my alley. Unfortunately the jokes here are lifeless outside of a few amusing one-liners. The rest of the comedy is just a bunch of overly stupid, over the top, and obscene gags that have been used before, but have never been funny. It just feels like it is trying too hard. Usually that makes for comedies that aren't funny, but strangely and mindlessly watchable despite themselves. However that isn't the case here. This comedy kills itself by crossing the line, and when I say crossing the line, I men it really crosses the line. Forcing two characters into a situation that involves one raping the other isn't funny. It's demented, sick, disturbing, and just plain dark and revolting. It's things like that which kill this movie.

What we have here is a pointless and revolting sequel that doesn't capture any of the magic of it's predecessor. If I'm being honest, while funny and enjoyable, the first Hot Tub Time Machine was far from art. It was a vulgar, occasionally disgusting comedy that was saved partly due to it's tale of friendship and second chances. This sequel is missing that element. For instance, Rob Corddry's character "Lou" (who takes up the role as centerpiece for this comedy due to the strange non-inclusion of John Cusack) is a selfish jerk that was made strangely endearing in the first movie due to his desire to change and reconnect with friends. Where is that here? In this movie he is just mean and downright evil at times.

It's that missing element that helps really kill this movie. What we are left with is a mean and hollow comedy. One almost completely devoid of laughs and due to some horrific content in the form of disturbing "jokes," should not be viewed by anyone. It's trash and you are better off skipping it. I will give the movie one bit of credit though. The actors here do give it their all. They are convincing despite the material. Talent like that deserves a better film.

I give this movie a 2.6/10.… Expand

Another really poor sequel that fails to deliver in almost every way the original did. Put aside that the plot is convoluted this film is just not funny. D

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.

And that's coming from someone who likes time travel movies. There's also very little laughs and too many juvenile moments. While you know they ran out of ideas when Lou (Rob Corddry) and Nick (Craig Robinson) are pressured to have sex just like in the first film. This time though it's on a futuristic tv show.… Expand

I think I laughed like once, the rest of the time I just waited for it to be over...

Do yourself a favor, and watch the trailer instead...
