REVIEW:
One of the most important elements to a healthy relationship is intimacy. Cameron Diaz's character in "Sex Tape" opens the film by writing an article on her blog about the lack of intimacy recently with her husband, played by Jason Segel. Their kids and jobs get in the way of them having any type of physical relationship, apart from the occasional fling. So in order to get the steam hot again, Diaz decides to make a 3-hour long sex tape with her husband, and then erase it from existence. But of course if you've seen the trailer, you know that the sex tape is gonna get out and people are gonna see it. However, that didn't stop me from actually having a fine time with this movie. I didn't really laugh as much as I would have wanted to, but there were certain moments here that did let out a good chuckle. Rob Lowe especially helped to make me laugh out loud during the film, particularly in a scene that takes place in his character's house. The film itself isn't particularly original, and not all of the jokes really hit as well as others. However, the effort put in by Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, as well as some clever story elements and other decent uses of characters makes "Sex Tape" a pleasant enough date film to recommend. If anything, it's a fine rental for a night in with the spouse.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
