Sex Tape (2014) movie review


Sex Tape is a 2014 sex comedy directed by Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story). It follows a couple who had a sex drive when they were in university together. But it turns out to be a flashback by Annie (Cameron Diaz) who hasn't not had sex in a very long time since their two kids have been born. Jay (Jason Segel) also wants their sex relationship to improve but there is not time to set aside from all of lifer's responsibility's. Annie writes a blog as a mom and PiperBrothers a toy company is interested in buying her blog. Jay works as a DJ who constantly switches iPads so he gives them away as gifts. On the night of the offer they decide to restart their sex life after Annie sends all the kids to her mom's (Nancy Lenehan) house. After many failed attempts they decide to make a sex tape like they've seen in the internet. So they set the iPad up, take a few shots of tequila and took the book The Joy of Sex and decided to do a marathon through all the positions in one night. They end up with a three hour sex tape which Annie tells Jay to destroy. But Jay forgets to and the entire sex tape is synced with the rest of the iPads Jay used to have. Now they have to go and reclaim all the iPads.
Now this movie has gotten a lot of bad reviews but I just want to state my opinion here. I fairly enjoyed the movie, it made me chuckle but granted it starts very slow. It really starts after the sex tape is synced and from there hilarity ensues. My favorite role was Jack Black as the owner of YouPorn. And Jason Segel really acted his role out. I mean for me in the scene where Annie is wearing Roller Skates and is in her lingerie he really acts like a dad who hasn't had sex in a long while. Cameron Diaz performed like her performance in  The Other Woman. But this movie wasn't all that great and I give it a 2 for Jack Black a 4 for the overall quality which garners it a 6/10 here.
