Hot Tube Time Machine 2 (2015)

Unnecessary and even cruder sequel to the 2010 sci-fi comedy Hot Tube Time Machine. I liked the original Hot Tube Time Machine, which I thought was oddly clever and more then a little bit sentimental, the sequel however is hurt most by the absence of the previous films star John Cusack, who was the heart of that film and gave it what grounding it had. Absent Cusack, as well as a point, this film is largely about gross out humor and how unpleasant an individual Rob Corddry can make his character. A few mildly clever moments, and Gillian Jacobs not withstanding, this is a bad film which earns its 15% fresh rating on rottentomatos.com. *1/2
