Sex Tape, it seems was only made just to exploit sex and to see how many cuss words are sputtered in a minute. Now mind you, I love films with lots of cursing, but those films have a point. There is no overall point to be found in this film other than what I mentioned above and product placement. It seems like Apple got a big paycheck from marketing their products in this film. The film is not a complete bomb, as I liked the performances and the ending scene was actually incredibly hilarious.
Jake Kasdan's film is about a married couple named Jay and Annie who decide to make a sex tape. After they completed it, Annie asks Jay to delete it. Instead, he accidentally synchronizes it in the Cloud, thus making it public. Now Jay and Annie must find out who have seen the tape before their reputations are ruined.
One of the things I found okay about the movie were the performances. Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz are really funny people, and they have some moments to shine in the film. I'm not sure if I liked Rob Lowe's performance as Annie's boss. His performance seems a bit off.
Overall, Sex Tape manages to be a forgettable comedy and I can see why critics dismissed the film. There are some good moments, but they are far apart. The story has an interesting premise, but the film could have been better if it wasn't an excuse for marketing purposes and lame, unfunny jokes. But everyone has a clunker, and this is Kasdan's clunker.
My Grade: D
