Simply A Masterpiece

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

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

I watched the first Hot Tub Time Machine Last night in preparation for the sequel. The first one is a very funny well put together movie, nostalgic, clever and cool. After watching it I was all excited for the next movie, however ten minutes in there was still no sign of John Cusack. Not a good sign... It then became obvious that this movie was a piece of turd. Simply put: this thing was shabbily made in an attempt to cash in on the mediocre success of the first one. I imagine Cusack took one look at the script and said no clucking way. I suggest you do the same and avoid this hack garbage.

You might have overly loved the first Hot Tub movie and it might exceeded your expectations. Therefor you might have very high expectations of this one. But this one just drags the hilarious along and does not care too much on making sense. In fact, you could say it spits on anything that tries to explain what is going on or is trying to give it a certain quality at all.What this succeeds in doing, is being gross, mean and infantile. Now if that is what you're expecting going into this, you'll have a lot of fun. But remember: this is not about quality, and I cannot stress that out enough. It's about a group of people gathering together and taking the p... as the British would say (translation: having fun). Take that with a grain of salt and it'll help enjoy the movie. I know I was entertained enough, with just watching one sketch following another. Remember: this is just a movie (with no scientific explanations to the weird things that are happening).

One of the worst movies I've every seen. The original set a low bar, but it had a plot, decent acting, and some humor. HTTM2 has none of these. Corddry's character is among the most unlikeable you will encounter, so when he's the main man you know things are way off. Most others are sleepwalking through their roles, wondering when it's over so they can get their paychecks. The "jokes" are mainly crude outbursts with no setup or relevance.If televised virtual man-rape is your thing, then maybe you'll like HTTM2. Otherwise, at some point well before the ending you'll be wishing for a HTTM to take you back before you started watching so you can avoid this dreck entirely.

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.
