A shallow dip overflowing with juvenile humor, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is a lukewarm sequel that's healthiest to avoid. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Hot Tub Time Machine 2

  • Aug 29, 2017
    It was obvious after the first was pretty entertaining and made a profit that they would milk it for all it's worth by making a sequel and as we all knew it wasn't half as good as the first, The films plot didn't make sense at all I'm not sure if it's done that way on purpose just to rip other time travel films or they genuinely just got muddled up in their own storyline, The film did have its funny moments but most were just silly and predictable, I enjoyed all the cast and new editions, It's not terrible but I won't be going back to watch it anytime soon.

    You know how you watch some sequels, and its bad, and you think "they didn't even try on this one, damn!!" Well I think they tried on this one ... and it's still bad. Okay, maybe not THAT bad, but bad enough. Unless you fancy lots of dick jokes. Fancy that?

    Jokes fall flat and the story was lacking any real coherency. A great cast is left hanging with undercooked material and an empty seat left by Cusack. I laughed at times but nowhere near the level of the first film.

    This was even funnier than the first one. The cast is back and they are having a blast in every scene they are in. A total blast of laughs. The boys are back brining the comedy and heart.
