Summary: 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 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.

At heart, it’s about as naughty as an old Disney movie with Dean Jones, Suzanne Pleshette, and an unruly Great Dane. I liked its gung-ho slapstick spirit, though. No one’s slacking off. Read full review

It's clumsy and wacky and intermittently amusing, and Rob Lowe looks like he's having a great time playing Real-Life Ned Flanders With a Deeply Weird Side once again. Read full review

Since it's a comedy, much could be forgiven if the film was consistent in generating laughs, but the comedy is as erratic as the couple's sex life. Read full review

Viewers seeking a fresh comedy, a seductive romp, or even just an escape from boredom for a couple hours will be left dismally unsatisfied by this stilted, nearly humorless, non-titillating slog. Read full review

It’s less a movie than a bad sitcom episode stretched to feature length and raunched up to an R rating. Read full review

As a 22 year old I honestly think Sex Tape did a pretty good job of being both entertaining and funny and if I'm honest i prefer it over Bad Teacher. The story isn't great but in my opinion that is not what you watch a comedy for. As a comedy Sex Tape does a great job of getting laughs out of what can be considered a very awkward and embarrassing situation. I love the crude humor and the gags on how aging people are loosing their touch with technology. All in all it is a great 'balls out' comedy which will keep most young entertained the whole way through.… Expand

most of it is pretty good, but not great. The middle of the film, where they actually try to retrieve the tape is where the film sags like a flat tire.

Not as bad as I thought it would be but still not good. Laughed a few times through the movie but not as much as you want from a comedy. A good cameo at the end that was funny and made the movie a bit better. Some funny moments but still not good at all.

When comedies are stupid, but they are not humorous, then it's stupid. This problem threatens to happen here, in "Sex Tape", a relentlessly cringe-worthy comedic film that while carries a charming chemistry from its main stars and a naughty premise, it falls flat with its jokes. If you wanna see this, I only recommend you that you pirate it or just wait 'till comes to cable TV. Other than that, please, stay away from this.… Expand

I know what this is going. And yes, Rob Lowe did indeed had a sex tape on his own way back. But to be fair, why is Sex Tape the name of this title movie?

And yes, Rob Lowe did indeed had a sex tape on his own way back. But to be fair, why is Sex Tape the name of this title movie? I didn't see the movie because I thought it was supposed to be as good as Bad Teacher, but then again I just don't understand with a bland script and mimicking American Pie, Old School, and all of its raunchy teen comedies just happens to be the movie's biggest blunder. But extra points to Rob Lowe. I definitely love this guy delivering a performance that he totally mocks himself lately. Hey, he hosted SNL. Either way, Sex Tape is one of the weirdest but absolute worst movie of 2014 so far.… Expand

The Good: While it was a small role, Rob Lowe was actually funny. Rob Corddry was pretty entertaining as well.

The Bad: While the premise is not a bad one and had the potential to be a hilarious film, "Sex Tape" squanders a great setup and wasn't even remotely funny. In fact, I don't think I even chuckled or smirked once. Cameron Diaz was especially awful and ruins entire scenes all on her own. Jason Segel tried really hard to make this an entertaining film, but perhaps tries TOO hard as most of his jokes fall flat. A woefully inadequate attempt at a raunchy comedy.… Expand

So, so, sooooo bad, and I'm talking Beverly Hills Cop 3 bad. Appalling dialogue and we are led to believe that Cameron Diaz, who's stunning figure we see naked from behind multiple times, has body confidence issues.
