Feb 20, 2015 · Fortunately the movie’s running time is relatively brief — unlike, say, those Hangover sequels that nearly hit the two-hour mark.
I ask as I have only seen the original movie, but I keep hearing how the sequel is an enormous disappointment from fans of the original movie, and I want to know just what the second entry did wrong as I don’t know if I should spend an hour of my time to see it.

I really liked the first Hot Tub Time Machine. It’s charm and throwback winks, mixed in with all that bubbling raunch was an unexpected jet blast. It delivered a lot of highs for such a low concept film (in case you’re not familiar, yes, there’s a hot tub that operates as a time machine). But with the sequel we indeed get all the low concepts you’d expect from such a movie called Hot Tub Time Machine.
Uh-oh, I feel a “Dear John” letter coming on. But don’t worry, even though Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is a lifeless, near laugh-less experience, this isn’t a “Dear John” breakup letter. Like Back to the Future, the first sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine left behind the thing that made it all work magically the first time: associations with the past.
Dear John Cusack: You’re a trusted, reliable brand of glue. You were a big dreamer in the '80s. You held your boombox high, and you survived both crazy summers, and crazy winters. In the '90s you were the highly rootable guy who was a little stunted: perhaps haunted by the ghosts of past girlfriends who you didn’t think you deserved, by delusions of being a letdown at upcoming high school reunions, or stunted by people who didn’t understand the artistry of your eclectic puppetry. By the 2000s you were hitting middle age, but still favored a black trench coat, and just kinda appeared to have lost your optimism. That snuck up on us as an audience. But it made you perfect for Hot Tub Time Machine.
I know we’re supposed to be talking about the sequel—which you did not appear in—but when it comes to buddy comedies, addition by subtraction is bull. Your buddies (Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, and Clark Duke) are absolutely drowning in Hot Tub Time Machine 2 without you being there. Without you there it’s nothing but penis jokes. It’s like they’re grabbing them out of imaginary trees for every improvisational or scripted joke.
It’s not John Cusack’s fault that the screenplay sacrificed his buddies, and an Adam, Jr. (played by Adam Scott) in his stead. Many have tried and failed to make a John Cusack before. But there’s only been one John Cusack. And we’re glad for so many of the standalone films that he’s given us, including the lone Hot Tub Time Machine worth taking a d...
