When Jay and Annie first got together, their romantic connection was intense – but ten years and two kids later, the flame of their love needs a spark. To kick things up a notch, they decide – why not? – to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session. It seems like a great idea – until they discover that their most private video is no longer private. With their reputations on the line, they know they’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world... but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they'll never forget, they'll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for.

Best movie of this year hands down!
Such a frustrating disappointment
Good concept, poorly executed.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Both main characters are known with their good acting. 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?
This film really got slammed hard negatively by critics when it was released in 2014. It stars well known actors Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel. I really liked the casting decisions, Diaz and segal have great romantic chemistry and I liked seeing them work together to get back every last IPad from their family and friends before they open up the sex tape that's on them. The whole premise for the movie is of course an absolute nightmare for anyone, especially when they're a 40 year old married couple with children and images to keep up for their careers. The movie's script provided a lot of good funny lines of dialogue and comical moments that were uplifted by the cast's talent. I really don't understand the people that didn't enjoy this movie, I thought it was very funny, well acted, and well written. And when I say well acted and well written, I don't mean that it's gonna win any big fancy awards, but still, it does its job of entertaining the audience and making you laugh when you to. One might not think that a film like this would have any heartfelt scenes, but it actually does. There are moments that focus Annie and Jay's marriage and why they felt the need to film a sex tape in the first place. I thought this film worked and accomplished what it set out to. 7/10 for Sex Tape.
After seeing the Marines United scandal all over the internet, I decided to indulge in this dumpster fire (Currently on Netflix, for any other masochists).Now, I've always liked Jason Segel as an actor. He has his own style of comedy that he's polished over the last ten years, and not to mention he's an adequate screenwriter.That said, I don't know what happened here. It's like some scientist grew this Jason Segel clone from a test tube. Only a skinnier, painfully unfunny version of him. He somehow even manages to stumble over dialogue that he wrote for himself.Making matters worse is the fact that Segel and Diaz have zero chemistry together.I've never really understood Cameron Diaz's fame. Even as a child I noticed she was an awful actress. Checking out her recent work, one will see that she's on a streak of poorly reviewed films. Go big or go home, I guess.Her performance in this is nothing short of embarrassing. Some scenes (the part where Diaz comes up with the sex tape idea, and the part where Segel tells her the video was sent to their friends, in particular) seem so amateur it's astonishing they didn't do more takes.The whole film has a rushed feel to it. Plot holes, characters doing things without any motives whatsoever, and the feature's failure to comprehend the basic functions of the devices themselves. (Technology is a center point to the movie but for whatever reason they make no attempt to structure this component accurately). There are periods in the script where one has to wonder if it was written by a twelve year old boy.There's a line early on that displays this best; "My **** can see the future, that's why I call it Nostra****mus." Cameron Diaz is seen fully nude from the back not even two minutes into the film (Spoiler: you're not missing anything) and this happens periodically, like they were trying to reach a quota.The music in this movie if it's not stock music they sure tried. There was a moment where I thought my afghan burner phone was ringing. (THIS IS NOT A JOKE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED) The lighting in this movie is a mess. Normally I just notice well lit films. If it's nothing special I'll note it as "Whatever" but this needs to be talked about. There are scenes where the lighting is so aggressive you feel like you're watching a stage play. Shiny foreheads, overly white light in a dimly lit living room its just a train-wreck.The editing in this film, MY GOD THE EDITING. Every single conversation is littered with a barrage of quick cuts. In between conversations, the shots are stale and flat like everything else.The only interesting thing going on here was the flip flop of it's stance on Apple's products. (The interesting bit is behind the fourth wall. Nothing worthwhile going on inside them) I'm confused as to what side of the fence it wants to be on. One minute the couple is upset about the device automatically sending the sex video to their friends and family, the next minute Segel is praising the physical design like he's in a commercial. One scene has him discarding an iPad out a bedroom window, only to later reclaim it from the ground, exclaiming "Man the construction of these things is unbelievable." Another part has him looking at the footage they recorded on the iPad, stating "It's like the best camera ever." Of course since Segel was involved in the creative process, it has his signature serious moments dealing with relationships and feelings and all that. (Just being an ass) It worked in Sarah Marshall but it ain't doing the trick here. It's forced and cringe as hell.I don't want to use the word "redeeming quality" here because it's impossible to save this heap. But the few laughs this got out of me came from the main couple's married friends. Rob Corddry and Ellie Kemper (Lou – Hot Tub Time Machine, Erin – The Office, respectably) do their best and actually manage (somewhat) to out-deliver the awkward jokes that Segel and Diaz could not.Oh, the dog slamming into the wall after stepping on the treadmill, and the ensuing guilt from Segel was pretty good. "Hey, are you okay?" Lmao I'd tell you to avoid this one. But chances are, if you're even reading my reviews you already knew to stay away from this trash long before I typed this up.2/10 Utter trash.
I gave it 3 out of 10 stars and that is me being very generous. This film was awful!! My husband and i watched it and 45 Min's in he said can we watch something else! The over acting and the lame jokes just made me cringe. I like Jason Segel from HIMYM so i thought it would be good but no this was definitely one of his more worse performances! Why would you make a sex tape if you wanted to delete it anyway? The whole goose chase thing to get back the copies is getting old in movies. I really don't recommend this film one bit because it's a waste of time and in my opinion one of Cameron Diaz's worse films ever. I think Jason Segel should just stick to TV in future because I also didn't like him in Bad Teacher either.
