Hot Tub Time Machine 2

• Comedy

Emerging into a near-future 2025 after a desperate attempt to save their friend Lou, this sequel to *Hot Tub Time Machine* isn't about correcting past mistakes—it’s about navigating a future destabilized by their previous meddling, a reality where the consequences of altered timelines manifest in bizarre and unexpected ways. The film leans into gleeful absurdity, contrasting Lou’s gilded present with the chaotic portrait of the future and creating a darkly comedic exploration of stagnant lives and the futility of trying to control fate. It’s a relentless, self-aware romp, less interested in thoughtful insight than embracing unapologetic foolishness and utilizing the time travel conceit for escalating, unpredictable gags. Though lacking the original’s surprise, it amplifies the inherent silliness while doubling down on the comedic dynamic between the perpetually underachieving friends.
