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.

I watch a lot of movies and this by far is one of the worst I have ever seen that I can remember. In fact, I've used IMDb for years and this movie compelled my to create an account here just to express my complete disgust with this movie. Someone in Hollywood should embarrassed of this trash.Apparently this movie got passed any sort of quality check and the actors should be more selective on what types of roles they are willing to take for the sake of their careers.Too bad Hollywood continues to completely blow it with sequels and in this case messed up an otherwise good comedy that I anticipated would at least be worthy of mention. Two thumbs down.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first hot tub time machine, so more hot tub fun, done to the same standard was just the ticket, I love this kind of movie, so I am heavily biased. Sometimes I am not looking for a transcendental experience in a movie, I just want to be entertained to such a degree that I do not feel time passing, this did the job wonderfully. None of the acting jarred, the sets were great, the story was engaging enough to keep interest, some moderate nudity, a smidgen of violence, nothing too gratuitous. I also enjoyed the score it was silly of course. If I had to compare Hot tub 1 and 2 I would say that the novelty of the idea was lost but the sheer entertainment made up for it. Overall it was crude,rude and fun, if that is what you require, what more you could ask for.

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
