Is it ok to watch Hot Tub Time Machine 2 before Hot Tub Time Machine?

2 is on Amazon Prime, but I haven't watched the first one yet. If I watch them out of order will it still be funny? Will I disrupt the space time continuum?

You should really watch the first one first. A lot of the humor is carried forward. A lot.

Never bothered with 2 myself, I go by reviews on a lot of things.

Didn't seem worth the time to me really.

It's not okay to watch the 2nd one in any order. Watch the first one and then go back in time to a point where the 2nd one didn't exist.

I don't know, you may miss out on some seriously important plot detail and character development.....

No I don't think there is much of a story that you're missing out on by starting with Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

Its not like watching the 4th Harry Potter or the 3rd Hobbit movie.

Maybe it would be best for the OP to watch the 2nd first so his expectations aren't too high.

I tried watching the second and it sucked, I wouldn't even bother with part 2.

Yeah, I couldn't even get past the introduction (Where Are They Now?) portion of the second movie before turning it off. I've seen the first movie a few times, and it's still kind of fun. I think it helps that it has a bit of 80s nostalgia fun mixed in.

Jessica Paré from Mad Men is in the first one... Otherwise, I wanted to cut myself after watching it.
