When you first
start watching this movie, you’ll think it has potential. A couple makes a sex
tape and accidentally distributes it—sounds fun, doesn’t it? It seems like an
easy enough premise, and there are so many ways the movie could have gone to
make it great and funny. Instead, the writers decided to make it feel like a
bunch of guys knew what needed to happen and just tried their best to force it.
What I mean is:
The cast felt off, and the acting wasn’t worth what these actors are paid. The
actors seemed so eager to get to the sex tape part that it felt like they were
just jerking around on screen, waiting for things to begin. The script, though
based on a simple idea, didn’t go anywhere. The movie’s plot starts and ends
with “they made a sex tape and now have to retrieve it.”
Then there are
the lines in the movie. It felt like the director was so eager to get the whole
thing started that they forgot about building up a reasonable story. It was
more like, “Let’s just get the shenanigans over with and make the sex tape
already.”
Nothing good
came out of the 90 minutes I invested in watching this movie, and I feel like I
would’ve been better off not seeing it.
Here’s the plot:
The movie starts off a little raw, with Cameron Diaz getting very graphic in
her explanation of her sex life with her husband, Jason Segel. The couple, Jay
and Annie, used to have a lot of sex, but after Annie gets pregnant and they
get married, their whole life changes. They seem to plan to have sex more often
than they actually do, with kids and work getting in the way. Their life feels
like it’s at a standstill.
Then Annie sends
the kids off to her mom’s house, and she and Jay decide to have some fun. This
inspires them to make a sex tape—a three-hour-long one, no less.
Jay forgets to
delete the tape, and it gets uploaded to his cloud, syncing to all his iPads.
Here’s the stupid part: Jay buys a new iPad every time one comes out, and he
buys two each time. He gives away the old ones to pretty much anyone who comes
his way.
This movie was a stupid waste of my time and money. I don’t believe it was a financial success, and honestly, please don’t see it.
