Review of Sex Tape (2014) by Jon N — 18 Jan 2015

Review:

I really didn't find this movie that funny and the storyline was way over the top. When a couples sex tape goes viral after the guy syncs it to the cloud, he tries his utmost to get all of the copies back, with all mean necessary. Personally I found the movie to be more silly than funny and the kids seemed more mature than the parents. After watching the crazy sex scenes at the beginning, I lost complete interest in the film and the ridiculous extents that the couple go through to retrieve the tapes, became tedious after a while. The whole smashing of the severs with there young ones, scene was totally stupid and unrealistic and the Rob Lowe scenes didn't help. Basically, I totally didn't enjoy this movie and I found it a complete waste of time. Boring!

Round-Up:

There's obviously a audience for this type of movie because it quadrupled it's profit which is why we constantly get films in this genre. I personally am getting fed up with these silly Rom-Com's which are not funny and a waste of a big budget. Cameron Diaz has seemed to have gone downhill recently with movies like The Other Woman, The Counseller and Gambit but they always seem to make a profit which is what is why her career isn't in trouble. Jason Segel also seems to star in movies in this genre quite often and I'm yet to see him out of his comfort zone. With films like the Muppets, The Five-Year Engagement and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which he also wrote, he is becoming a bankable actor but not the most versatile. On the plus side, there chemistry in this movie was believable but that was about it. .

Budget: $40million.

Worldwide Gross: $126million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their romantic/comedies about a couple who make a personal sex tape which becomes viral after it gets uploading on the Apple cloud. 2/10.
