Sex Tape | Movie Review

Sex Tape stars Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Rob Corddry. In this movie, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel's sex life is not what it used to be. So after some tequila, they decide to make a 'sex tape'. Things go wrong and the 'tape' gets added to the 'cloud' so now they have to get it down from the 'cloud'.

This movie was getting a lot of negative reviews. It only has 18% on rotten tomatoes and around a 5 on IMDB so I knew going into this movie that it might be awful. Before I continue I just want to say that I went in with absolute lowest expectations possible. I was pleasantly surprised and found it a pretty watchable movie.

Is it good? Not really. Is it stupid? You betcha! But I love Jason Segel in How I Met Your Mother and he was pretty hit and miss in this film but when he hit, you could tell that he was channeling Marshal Erickson. And as for Cameron Diaz. She's not great, but it is a huge step forward compared to her joke of a performance in The Other Woman. The characters don't really bother me as much as I thought they would which I guess is a plus?

About 50% of the jokes don't really hit. Which is a huge flaw. No one in the theatre was laughing and it was kind of embarrassing because I wasn't really laughing either. But compared to most other people who have watched this movie. I actually think that the time passed quick and I was entertained for 90% of the movie.

Overall Not much to say. Below average but entertaining

I'm going to give Sex Tape
