'Sex Tape' is a quick, simple comedy with a good cast. Very straightforward storyline - married couple with kids tries to get the romance back, so they decide to film themselves having sex. It then is synced to all their friends' iPads and they have to retrieve them. I would like to say hilarity then ensues, but it doesn't.The cast, mostly Segel & Diaz, plus Corddry & Kemper, Lowe & Black are all quite charming/engaging in their own way, but the main fault with the film is that it's all been done before. Sure, it's a new premise, but it's based on the same old "couple-trying-to-get-their-mojo-back" plot and sadly there's not that many laughs to be had. A few chuckles here and there, but no truly funny laugh-out-loud moments.Basically, the best bits are in the trailer and if you're going hoping to see nudity, there's - unfortunately - plenty of Segel's butt! That is counteracted by a little bit of Diaz's butt & side-boob, but nothing to really write home about!

But i m still surprised how they accepted this porn related inartistic scenario.After watching it i asked myself what i learned or what i remembered? Only remembered thing is people don't make sex after children. Can anyone say me so what?

The script and direction are so undisciplined, it's ridiculous. The scenes go on for 10 times too long. The editing is so frenetic that they're afraid to linger on a frame for more than two seconds. The basic plot is a plausible one - a bored couple make a drunken sex tape. The husband forgets to erase it, and after copies are mistakenly duplicated to friends' iPads, the couple frantically try to find out who has it so they can erase it. But mostly the characters sit and argue with each other or get stoned. The actors are capable of comedy, and Cameron Diaz in particular tries hard, but the dialogue is so over-written and uninteresting, it gets monotonous. The movie must have been written and shot in a hurry, because anyone who bothered to read or see it twice would see it needs a major rewrite, and re-cut. I have seen worse movies, and this is not a complete turkey. But in the end it was boring. Not a good outcome for a movie called Sex Tape.
... View MoreFrom the beginning Sex Tape set itself up to be a ginormous cliché with plenty of "outrageous" moments that aren't even shocking because they are stale and overused. Speaking of...what's with all the sex scenes. I'm aware of the title of the movie but seriously enough already!After sex comes animal cruelty and drug abuse. WTF this movie doesn't make any sense. The whole way through I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. It was so hard to take seriously even for a comedy. Even the most low-brow comedy lover will find it hard to tolerate this movie.Overall it gave me a few chuckles but the movie was pretty pointless. I wouldn't recommend it.
