When the first Hot Tub Time Machine arrived it was during a time when audiences were really on a nostalgia kick, and the R-rated comedy reaped the benefits on the way to $60M. Not great, but apparently enough to warrant a sequel without the original film's biggest star. The first trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine 2 was pretty funny, but with this new one it seems the rather limited premise is better off staying in the 1980s.
Reuniting Rob Corddry, Clark Duke, and Craig Robinson, the story finds the gang heading back in time to stop a terrible future for occurring. So it's not unlike X-men: Days of Future Past, right? Well, not exactly. The guys have used their knowledge of the past for personal gain and now the timeline's all screwy. Where's Wolverine when you need him? Adam Scott fills in for the absent John Cusack, with Chevy Chase returning and Gillian Jacobs co-starring.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 opens February 20th 2015.
