Hot Tub Time Machine 2: Still a Hilarious Journey Through Time?
Hot Tub Time Machine 2, the sequel to the 2010 hit comedy, takes the gang back to the past (and then some) for more shenanigans and laughs. While the sequel might not reach the same heights as its predecessor, it still delivers plenty of humor and unexpected twists.
A New Journey Back in Time
The story picks up 14 years after the original, with Adam, Lou, Nick, and Jacob now in their mid-40s and facing the same midlife crises they thought they had overcome. When a mysterious package arrives, it transports them back to 1989, but this time, they're not alone. They are joined by Adam's son, Adam Jr., who's a little too eager to experience the 80s in all its glory.
The Good, the Bad, and the Still-Funny
While Hot Tub Time Machine 2 isn't as sharp as its predecessor, it still offers plenty of laughs. The jokes are a mix of slapstick, satire, and pop culture references that will make you chuckle. The chemistry between the cast remains strong, and the new characters, particularly Adam Jr., add a fresh dynamic to the mix.
Should You Take a Dip?
If you enjoyed the first Hot Tub Time Machine, you'll likely have a good time with the sequel. However, it's important to manage expectations. The humor is a bit more broad and the plot less focused. But if you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with some nostalgic elements, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 could be your ticket to a good time.
