Genre: Comedy
Rating: MA
‘Sex Tape’ is a quick, simple comedy
with a good cast. Very straightforward storyline – married couple with kids
tries to get the romance back, so they decide to film themselves having sex. It
then is synced to all their friends’ iPads and they have to retrieve them. I
would like to say hilarity then ensues, but it doesn’t.
The cast, mostly Segel & Diaz,
plus Corddry & Kemper, Lowe & Black are all quite charming/engaging in
their own way, but the main fault with the film is that it’s all been done
before. Sure, it’s a new premise, but it’s based on the same old “couple-trying-to-get-their-mojo-back”
plot and sadly there’s not that many laughs to be had. A few chuckles here and
there, but no truly funny laugh-out-loud moments.
Basically, the best bits are in the
trailer and if you’re going hoping to see nudity, there’s – unfortunately – plenty
of Segel’s butt! That is counteracted by a little bit of Diaz’s butt & side-boob,
but nothing to really write home about!
Overall: Funny in parts, but nothing
special.
Gav's Rating: 2.5 stars.
