Critics Consensus

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

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Man-worship and dated gross-out gags can't elevate the material above the terminally boring. Who knew?

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The film's belated sequel has the same director, three-quarters of its lead cast and one-third of its writing team, but in the intervening five years, all seem to have forgotten why the original worked and what it meant.

This is the kind of movie that will make you want to go back in time -- to the moment before you made the rash decision to start watching it.

College Movie Review

Consistently funny, but it's something of a minor miracle that the movie doesn't fall apart at the seems.

Gone With The Twins

Despite its predictable array of serviceable gross-out gags, the film suppresses its potential comedic output by offering not a single likeable character.

It definitely doesn't have the emotion or power of the original, but it is still pretty damn funny, and there's great chemistry here. Not nearly as bad as some of you make it out to be.

Though it depicts several tropes aligned with old-thinking "macho" behaviour, it explores and expands on a lot of what the previous film let out. Where the original, which is better, restrains itself to one single setting (the ski resort), this offers a wider exploration of situations. Going in with the mentality that it is a simplistic comedic endeavour will help to avoid the disappointment that many now feel, as most seem to have expected a repeat on the brilliance of the original.

A trash sequel and it's an hour 39 minutes long.

I'm perplexed by these ratings, this movie is incredibly smart with slick hilarious quality gags..I'm amazed so many don't get it. 8 years later I still watch it every couple of months.
