A cell phone warbles the classic Power Rangers theme through a pair of jeans. The sounds of candy wrappers and teeth mashing popcorn echo off the walls of the theater. After a convoluted exposition and an overdone foundation for time travel, hilarity ensues.
MASCHINE 2 TORRENT MOVIE
And it's through Scott that Robinson, Duke, and Corddry discover they weren't just propelled into the future, they were cast onto an alternate time line, a recurring joke intended to spoof several popular movie franchises as of late, most notably The Terminator franchise. Along the way, our protagonists meet up with Adam Scott, cast as a replacement to and a bastard child of John Cusack's character. The team rallies together and plunges through the pool of time to find this assassin and halt a "friend's" murder. It's during the middle of a party where Fate propels them on another adventure, as a cloaked assassin shoots Corddry in the family jewels. Ego and wealth has seized hold of them, and in Corddry's case, has turned him into a frustratingly awful monster that no one, not even his wife or son, can stand. In this sequel, we find our regular cast of characters (Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Clark Duke – John Cusack is absent this time around) living the good future they've carved out for themselves in their last outing. Hot Tub Time Machine 2, on the other hand, casts itself far astray from its predecessor. It had all the markings of a truly great movie, and one could tell it was a labor of love, carefully crafted by an adept team. Hot Tub Time Machine was as much an exercise in great dark comedy as it was a purge of all that was wrong in our lives, and it came loaded with characters that were funny yet so very human. It was an entertaining buddy movie that yearned for something more, that came packaged with a soul and an ethos, and with its powerful heart, it took great strides to comfort us and lead us on a journey toward self-discovery and catharsis.
When I first saw Hot Tub Time Machine back in 2010, I was pleasantly surprised.
