 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
Disappointing that all you ever see is Diaz's butt. It needed to be a little more raunchy to live up to it's title. Still Segel and Diaz have some good chemistry together and I laughed throughout. Rob Lowe totally steals the film though. His Disney portraits and bizarre habits are the highlight of the film for sure. I almost wish the whole movie took place in that house. First half of the film which is really solid is bogged down by a lackluster finale. Compared to other comedies this summer, it's well below Neighbors and 21 Jump Street, but much better than Million Ways to Die in the West. More of a rental. B- Also don't read this unless you've seen the movie A 9 year old knowing that much about internet porn and blackmailing them is super creepy, definitely one of the weirdest child performances I've seen in a while

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
Has a few laughs but it's overall pretty toothless and curiously muted. It doesn't help that Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel both look kind of bored. C

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
yeah, this seemed rushed, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't that much effort in the script. It's not that funny and it doesn't really use its premise to its full potential.

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
I wanted to see this but every single actor makes an ass of themselves. I smiled once during the entire thing. It was just awful.

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
I just can't get over how bad this movie was.  I actually was looking forward to it, I thought the ads made it seem entertaining enough. Throughout most of the movie I was planning on giving it a "D" but the end of it was just so awful it sent me over the edge. I can't believe these two idiotic characters decided to bring their children to get the tape erased and then proceeded to break into a building with them. Just completely offensive and stupid. I felt so bad for everyone in the cast too. I'm a fan of pretty much all of them but good lord... It was just so awful. I felt especially bad for Ellie Kemper, who is completely above this crap. Also, the only moment that put a smirk on my face was the part where Lowe turned his music on and Diaz jumped. What a waste of a movie.

Sex Tape
Awkwardly unfunny comedy that might as well be called iSex Tape. The film is such a feature-length plug of Apple. It's unashamed in its blatant pluggings too. It mentions how great the iPad camera is, how strong it is (test: thrown out of a window), the Cloud, Siri gets a mention, and the characters mention "iPad" hundreds of times. It's The Internship for Apple. It's a shame that it's a pretty crap comedy because I like both Diaz and Segel. Jack Black and the references to other porn sites was interesting to watch, and just how YouPorn managed to get some silver screen attention I will never know.

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
The YouPorn thing was funny because how ridiculous it was to actually have YouPorn as part of a film.
Cameron Diaz' ass still looks good.

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
Diaz and Segel work well together and the cast doesn't do a bad job but the material just doesn't work for them. Only a few jokes work throughout.

 Re: Sex Tape (2014)
I actually thought this wasn't too bad. Kind of reminded me of Horrible Bosses, but with a less entertaining cast.
