Short description
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 returns to the characters of the 2010 comedy, with Lou, Nick and Jacob now living off the wealth they gained from their first trip through time. When an unknown attacker shoots Lou at his home, Nick and Jacob put him back in the hot tub in an attempt to change what happened. Something goes wrong, and instead of landing in the past they arrive in the future, where they must work out who is responsible and whether they want to return to the lives they left behind.
Steve Pink directed, following Accepted, the first Hot Tub Time Machine and About Last Night. Josh Heald wrote the screenplay and Andrew Panay produced. Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke reprise their roles as Lou, Nick and Jacob, joined by Bianca Haase, Chevy Chase and Gillian Jacobs. The film was made for about 14 million USD and took roughly 13 million USD worldwide.
On IMDb it holds 5 out of 10 from around 45,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.2 out of 10 from just over a thousand votes. A critics' rating of 3.4 out of 10 from 107 reviews places it below even those modest audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- The budget for the sequel was noticeably more modest than the budget for the first film (Steve Pink, 2010) due to the absence of John Cusack in the cast.
- The filmmakers wanted to joke about time travel and name this film “Hot Tub Time Machine 3,” but the studio refused, stating that it would cause confusion.
- The initial release date was set for the end of December 2014, however, after Sony moved the premiere of “The Interview” (2014) to that date, the premiere of “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” was postponed to 2015 to avoid competition.
