"Sex Tape" - Movie Review

There was so much media hype and buzz around this movie when it hit theaters. The commercials looked funny, but the movie is horrible. It may feature some very well known actors like, Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Rob Coddry, and Rob Lowe; but the movie is poorly put together and it's not even entertaining to watch. There is no back story or plot other than what you see in the previews - Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz make a sex tape and spend the rest of the film scrambling to retrieve all the copies that were accidentally sent to people. The sex scenes between those two seem so forced and unnatural, which again, makes it hard to watch.

In fact, the ONLY part of the movie I liked was Rob Lowes character's house, filled with Disney movie paintings with Rob Lowes' face drawn in over the character's faces. Also, the fact that he was randomly doing blow after coming across as a straight arrow guy all about business. It came out of nowhere! Even though it was funny, (Rob Lowe is ALWAYS funny) this also made the movie seem weird and poorly pieced together. The movie is awkward and makes the viewer uncomfortable watching it.

Bringing your small children with you to break into a building and retrieve your sex tape is inappropriate and weird. Once again, WTF ? why is this in the movie?? Jake Kasdan is the director of this movie, he also directed another Cameron Diaz movie in 2011 called, "Bad Teacher". Kasdan is also the one we have to thank for the TV series "New Girl" which is just as terrible as this movie. With that being said, I give this film a 3 /10
