Sex Tape is another comedy that does not bring anything new. I can't deny that it made me laugh and I spent a good time, but it was nothing more than that. Unfortunately, there's more bad things to say about it than the good ones.
Here we follow the story of the couple Annie and Jay, who fell into the routine of married life. Bored of the life they have they decide to spice things up by doing a 3 hour sex tape on an iPad. The video accidentally is shared into the internet among friends and family. The two must recover it quickly before their reputations are ruined forever.
This story was supposed to be much more imaginative and well developed through possible different situations and but the truth is that nothing special happens. The plot has a lot of problems and the worst of all is the excessive publicity to Apple, making the iPad's almost the main character of the story and not the real involved. This turns out to be very annoying.
Jason Segel was the one who made me laugh more, despite being used to see him in this kind of roles, he still not always bores me. He is funny, but some of his scenes were a bit ridiculous, since fights with dogs that open doors to strange property burglaries. Cameron Diaz is not an actress that I especially like, well can't really explain why, she is just indifferent to me. Maybe because she almost always does the same kind of roles.
In the end, what we take from Sex Tape is that the iPad is "the coolest thing in the world" and nothing else. For the premise that this comedy has it could have been much more fun and natural and it should have given more importance to the history, not to the promotion of a brand.
