Critic Reviews for Hot Tub Time Machine 2 - MDBReviews
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 critic reviews provided by Metacritic.com

Tribune News Service | Roger MooreThe sequel is dominated by Rob Corddry, a fearless funnyman best taken in tiny doses. The doses aren’t tiny enough and the laughs are few and far between this time in the tub.

Boston Globe | Tom Russo
Compared with last time, the returning team of director Steve Pink and writer Josh Heald practically doodle the gang’s motivations and worse, their surroundings.

RogerEbert.com | Peter SobczynskiIf Hot Tub Time Machine 2 accomplishes anything — and it really doesn't — it is that it too never manages to find a way to justify its own existence.

The Playlist | Kimber MyersCorddry’s Lou was an enjoyable, over-the-top asshole in the first film, providing most of its humor, even while surrounded by an equally strong cast. However, here, he’s just a truly disgusting human being. Worse still, he’s not that funny.

The A.V. Club | Ignatiy VishnevetskyThe difference here — aside from the fact that the jokes aren’t as funny and that John Cusack is nowhere to be found — is the lack of a motivating factor.

Washington Post | Michael O'SullivanThe film isn’t bad, although it is somewhat repetitive. If it has plot holes, conceptual laziness and an overreliance on dumb-insult humor, the film at least seems to know it. There are lots of self-referential jokes that acknowledge its own stupidity.

Philadelphia Inquirer | Steven ReaIn the future, in the past, at all points along the space-time continuum, the Theory of the Teenage Male Mind throws everything out of whack.

Los Angeles Times | Robert AbeleUltimately, "2" is hit-and-run humor as hit or miss as any comedy of its ilk. If one has to sit in front of a jet spray of degradation gags, better it feel like the occasional seltzer spritz than a fire hose blast to the crotch.

Variety | Justin ChangBoorish and crass, homophobic and misogynistic, the very definition of sloppy seconds — par for the course where the present generation of male-driven, R-rated, “Hangover”-aping franchise comedies are concerned. That it somehow manages to send you out of the theater feeling tickled rather than sullied may be a mystery as impenetrable as the cosmos.
