Everything you would expect from a cookie-cutter Seth Rogen bro comedy is in “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” (2016). There’s weed. And male genitalia. And dildoes (Or is that dildos? Paging Mr. Quayle… Mr. Quayle?). And it’s all so derivative until the one or two scenes that make you laugh out loud and then the $1.60 you paid at Redbox doesn’t seem like a waste. (You spent $12 to see it in a theater? Poor dear.) Anyway, sequel, partying girls instead of partying boys, hijinks ensue, blah blah blah. And an oddly fascinating subplot involving Zac Efron’s character arc. Say whut?

You know how you want to laugh when you hear somebody fart in public, but you know you shouldn’t, so you just smile and grit your teeth until you hear somebody else laugh, and then you let out a torrent of giggles? Well, “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” (2015) is 93 minutes of that. (There’s even a scene where somebody farts. Go figure.) It’s not for the straitlaced. Anyway, the title is the plot, they say “dick” and “fuck” about 375 times, sequel hijinks ensue, and if you harbor any sense of subversion whatsoever, you will occasionally laugh out loud.
