Movie Reviews from the couch - Sex Tape
I know what you are thinking. I am only blogging about 'Sex Tape', because the words 'sex tape' will probably get my blog 100 more hits than usual (for a total of 103 hits).
And that is true.
We pretty much assume a comedy with Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal is not going to set the world on fire, right? Segal was given a lot of roles based on his How I Met Your Mother role, and we all know where that is headed. Diaz hasn't anything of note for about a decade (with maybe the exception of the Shrek films, but really can't count that.
It did look like it could be funny. The plot of filming a sex tape and the madcap antics of trying to get it back, right? Expectations are low, but it could still be funny, right?
Unfortunately, this film suffers from 'trailer' syndrome in that the best scenes were already in the trailer. Rob Cordrey was the best part of the movie, and though I respect Rob, that is probably not a good thing.
"You had sex for three hours. That's the length of the movie Lincoln! You did the full Lincoln!"
Probably don't need to spend a lot of time on this review. It kept my attention and had enough laughs. You do watch it and aren't surprised people want to pirate movies, or wait until they are a buck and change from Redbox. It certainly was worth about that.
I don't hjave any criticisms. I feel like I have seen a lot of bad comedies of late, and this isn't any worse than some of them. I was entertained, I laughed a few times. I am satisfied, and when it comes on E! or whatever, watch it. Though, it's lewd, and half of the film will be edited out, and the only thing funny left will be that Lincoln joke, but still...
