Hot Tub
Time Machine 2
**
Dir: Steve Pink. With: Rob Corddry, Craig
Robinson, Clark Duke, Adam Scott. 93 mins. Cert: 15
2010’s first Hot Tub, a spirited Hangover derivative, qualified as a guilty pleasure; any enjoyment
this afterthought generates may necessitate a lifetime of Hail Marys. With John
Cusack AWOL, Part Deux beams the hangers-on ten years hence, where the
promotion of bare-chested, budgie-smuggling Rob Corddry to lead signals a
change in comic direction: this one’s louder, crasser, sketchier. The
relentless spitballing yields sporadic snorts, but with women reduced to
walk-on titparts between stale knob gags, it absolutely feels like the
bromance’s final, desperate throbs: Adam Scott’s televised sodomy and
subsequent testicle-lancing mark but two instances where we pass beyond risqué
hijinks into the realms of the flatly horrible.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 is now playing in cinemas nationwide.
