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

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.

leonblackwood Review: What a total waste of time! The plot was completely ridiculous and extremely confusing and the acting was really bad, especially from the annoying Rob Corddry who went a bit to far with the comedy. The first movie in this franchise had some meaning behind it but this one is a complete joke. Basically, if you have seen the first movie then you will know that these 3 guys, Nick (Craig Robinson), Jacob (Clark Duke) and Lou (Rob Corddry) have a hot tub that can go back and forth in time. Rob has become a rock star and Nick has become famous from taking famous songs from the future and releasing them in the past. Jacob just ends up working for Lou in his mansion as a servant, for some unknown reason and after one of Lou massive parties, someone in the crowd shoots him in his dick so they use the time machine to save his life. They mistakingly end up in the future and from there, I haven't got a clue what was going on. Whoever wrote this movie really needs to get sacked because the script was awful. The whole virtual sex thing was really bad writing and I can't imagine anyone finding it funny at all. I personally lost interest in the film after the first 5 minutes and I'm not surprised that John Cusack didn't come back for this badly made sequel. Awful!Round-Up: I usually don't mind Craig Robinsons humour but he really was chatting some rubbish in this film. We don't get a lot of American TV series in the UK so I've missed a lot of his work but I liked him in Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Zack & Miri Make A Porno, This Is The End and the Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard. I didn't particular like his performance in this movie, mainly because of a badly written script but he wasn't bad in the first movie of this franchise. The same director who made the first movie in this franchise, Steve Pink, also made Accepted, About Last Night and a couple of TV series. I definitely don't find his type of humour that funny and it looks like most people rushed to the cinema to see the second movie because the first one wasn't that bad. Anyway, I'm really struggling to find something positive to say about the movie so I think you can tell that I won't be rushing to the cinema to see the 3rd outing starring these three misfits.Budget: $14million Worldwide Gross: $13millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their comedy/sci-fi movies about three friends who can travel back and forth in time in there hot tub. 1/10

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.
