Comes out this weekend. Unsurprisingly, getting crushed by critics (10% right now). I had tickets to a screening last night, but gave them to a friend. Looks like I made the right choice.

Hmmm... The Variety review I read seemed positive enough. I will still check this out this weekend.

Hell, I thought it was ALREADY on VOD... that said, the trailer looks pretty damn funny. I did not really care for the first one, but I'll definitely rent this one.

Re: Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (D: Pink; S: Corddry, Robinson, Duke, Scott)

I think the problem I'm having this one is that the first one - for all it's silliness and raunchy bits - had a bit of heart behind the story. The idea of getting a re-do on bad moments from your childhood is a relatable concept, as is the teenage nostalgia. I'm not saying it should have won any Oscars or anything, but these elements elevated the film a little for me.

I'm not seeing even a hint of any heart or nostalgia in these trailers. Granted, if it's funny I won't care either way.

The trailers make it seem that Corddry, Duke, and Robinson spend the 90-minute running time doing their own thing. Which, if is the case, I am completely okay with.

I have tickets to the 8pm showing tonight. I'm just hoping to laugh.

The first film also had that meta-quality of John Cusack revisiting the 80's teen movies from early in his career that could have really made it special. Unfortunately Cusack couldn't have looked any less interested. I'm also convinced that there were a lot of last minute rewrites/editing done to the film that kind of gutted the emotional through-line. In that sense, the heart that the film was going for ultimately worked against itself because it felt like such a missed opportunity. Maybe the sequel is smart by ditching that stuff and just going for jokes (if in fact that's what it has done).

John Cusack was the worst part of first film. I mean he added nothing to the film and his storyline was just whatever....

This looks like a it will be a lot more fun. Not "Best ever", but still entertaining.

Re: Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (D: Pink; S: Corddry, Robinson, Duke, Scott)

I'd be genuinely surprised if this film opens more to $5M this weekend. I went to an 8PM showing last night and there were maybe about fifteen people total in an auditorium that sits shy of 400.

The film is watchable despite the critics saying otherwise as there are laughs to be had as long as your a fan of Corddry, Robinson, or Duke. Even with the filmmakers dropping the weakest link (Cusack), the sequel isn't as good as the first one. It genuinely does feel the story gets in the way of Corddry, Robinson, and Duke riffing on one another. With that being said, the montage during the credits is by far and away one of the funnier aspects in the film because its the only time the film allows Corddry, Robinson, and Duke just to do their own thing.

The film also deserves a round of applause for getting the most attractive female in the cast (Bianca Haase) naked within the first 30 minutes.

The one woman on EW Radio was interviewing Craig Robinson and told him that she didn't like that there was some kind of ongoing homophobic joke that ran throughout the movie. She felt that movies shouldn't still be doing stuff like that. Anyone who's seen it care to comment?

There's a scene in the sequel similar to the "blowjob bet" in the first film, just in this case it's been escalated to full on intercourse.

I didn't find it to be homophobic due to the ultimate payoff of the joke.

No, but her co-host is. But he wasn't there for the interview.

She seemed to be saying that gay acts shouldn't be treated as a form of punishment...at least that's how I took it from their discussion.

This one had a few laughs, but only a few. It's a major case for never letting supporting characters get their own movie.

This was horrible. I had a few laughs but I enjoyed the first one way more.
Spoiler:
Ending was lame. I want them to follow Cusack. Not "Patriot" Lou

The whole thing just felt like a raunchier take on Back to the the Future 2 with some dashes of Idiocracy. I enjoyed some of the future gags, but I found all the characters pretty unlikable this time around.

I wanted to hate this as I really don't care for Robb Cordrey, but I actually laughed more at this one that I did the first.

I rented the unrated cut last night on Google Play

Spoiler:
Cusack does show up at the end of the unrated cut. I wonder why they cut that from the theatrical.
