Sex Tape
Genre : Rom com
Director : Jake Kasdan
Cast : Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Rob Corddry, Ellie Kemper, Rob Lowe
Plot : Annie and Jay decide to spice up their lives with a sex tape and all hell breaks loose
I cannot believe this film was only 94 minutes! It seemed to go on forever. When Jack Black as the owner of a porno web site made his entrance, that was the only time the film seemed worth watching otherwise it was one long series of unfunny situations involving animal abuse, cocaine (when there is cocaine, there has to be mention of Scarface), internet porn and awful, blackmailing children.
Jake Kasdan directed Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel earlier in Bad Teacher and if you thought that movie was lame, watch Sex Tape and you would feel kindlier towards Bad Teacher. Diaz and Segel play Annie and Jay a married couple whose sex life is non-existent now thanks to kids and responsibilities. When Annie’s blog is picked up by a corporation, they decide to celebrate by having sex and taping it. Instead of deleting the tape, it is uploaded onto cloud and on every iPad Annie and Jay gave away as gifts. Then follows a mad scramble to get the iPads back and erase the evidence. All comes right in the end (not a moment too soon) with the only silver lining in the movie being Jack Black as porn Moghul. And Diaz needs to stop acting as the ditzy blonde. It is tiring now.
Bottomline : Jack Black’s cameo is the only fun thing in the entire film
