Lisa Schwarzbaum at “Entertainment Weekly” gave it a B. She said, “a fun dip into a pool of memories that are best forgotten again once the booze wears off.” Sean O Connell from Filmcritic.com gave it a C- rating. He said, it was “disappointing.”
Kirk Honeycutt at the Hollywood Reporter gave it another C rating. He stated, it was “A potentially wry comedy about time travel plunges into a hot tub of tepid juvenilia.”
A.O. Scott at the New York Times gave it a B. He said, “It’s fun, it’s sad, and it’s kind of sad that it’s so much fun.” James Berardinelli from Reelviews gave it a C. He said, “A lot of what’s intended to be funny falls flat, in part because it’s too obvious and in part because director Steve Pink is clumsy when it comes to comedic timing.”
Peter Travers over at Rolling Stone gave it a B- rating, stating, “the warmed-over Hot Tub Time Machine forgets it takes smarts to do stupid right.”
Claudia Puig at USA Today gave it a C. She said, “The intercutting of the guys as they look in 2010 with their fleeting images from 1986 is clumsily edited, the retro references are predictable and key plot points are skimmed over.” “Hot Tub Time Machine” movie is in theaters now.
