Marco L (CASTELLANO) Jacuzzi al pasado 2 es el ejemplo perfecto de cómo estirar un chiste más allá de lo razonable. Si la primera entrega era una gamberrada con cierto encanto, esta secuela parece hecha por obligación, como si alguien hubiera apretado el botón de “repetir” sin pensar demasiado. Esta vez los protagonistas viajan al futuro en lugar de al pasado, y con eso ya se pierde gran parte de la gracia original. Y, lo peor, sin John Cusack a bordo. Adam Scott intenta llenar su hueco como el supuesto hijo del personaje de Cusack, pero el guion no le da mucho con lo que trabajar. Las situaciones son más absurdas que divertidas, y la mayoría de los chistes caen en lo vulgar sin la frescura de antes. Hay algún momento suelto que puede hacerte sonreír, pero la sensación general es de estar viendo una versión descafeinada y sin alma. Lo que más se echa en falta es esa mezcla de nostalgia y locura que funcionaba tan bien en la primera. Aquí, todo se reduce a gags forzados y situaciones que no avanzan nada. El humor pierde pegada y la historia va dando tumbos sin rumbo claro. No hay misterio, no hay emoción, y lo poco que hay de ciencia ficción se queda en anécdota. Al final, lo que podría haber sido una segunda vuelta divertida a una idea absurda, se convierte en una comedia floja que ni siquiera se molesta en disimular que no tiene nada nuevo que ofrecer. Si te gustó mucho la primera, quizás encuentres algo rescatable… pero si no, es mejor no meterse en esta bañera. (ENGLISH) Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is the perfect example of how to stretch a joke well past its breaking point. If the first film was a cheeky, goofy romp with a certain charm, this sequel feels like it was made out of obligation—like someone just hit the “repeat” button without thinking it through. This time, the gang travels to the future instead of the past, and with that shift, most of the original’s appeal is lost. And worst of all, John Cusack is nowhere to be found. Adam Scott steps in as Cusack’s supposed son, but the script doesn’t give him much to work with. The situations are more absurd than funny, and most of the jokes fall flat—lewd without the cleverness. There are a few scattered moments that might get a chuckle, but overall, it feels like you’re watching a watered-down, soulless version of what came before. What’s really missing is that mix of nostalgia and madness that made the original work. Here, everything boils down to forced gags and aimless scenes. The humor lacks bite, and the plot just meanders with no clear direction. There’s no mystery, no thrill, and what little sci-fi is left feels like an afterthought. In the end, what could’ve been a fun second dip into a ridiculous idea ends up as a weak comedy that doesn’t even try to pretend it has something new to offer. If you really loved the first one, maybe there’s something to salvage here… but otherwise, it’s best not to climb into this tub. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Frans B For sure lukewarm sequel, seemingly lost the whole previous concept. Now even more confusing and everybody seems a little lost. Not the worst, but not worth a second glance. Cast still performs adequately, barely. Could have been so much more Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Trash M This was not as bad as everyone says but doesn't do the same for me as the first. The first one is amazing, iconic imo. Little cheesier but not the worst I've seen. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review M R They went all in on some of the jokes and gags. It had its moments, but as expected, an inferior sequel. Rating: 5.5/10 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Tom R 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Harrison R A couple laughs. Mostly bad.
