Sex Tape (2014, Dir. Jake Kasdan, USA) (Cert: 15/R) **

Starring: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Rob Corddry

What to say about Sex Tape? I'm tempted to slate it as a one-note film, but that's not entirely accurate. More like one note being played way too hard into a kazoo and then thrown into a shredder. It's basically joke after joke about sex with a tiny bit of sweetness clumsily crowbarred in towards the end.

The story of a middle-age-ish couple looking to find a way to "spice up" their love life is a concept that has promise and dramatic potential. Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel are both capable of pulling off a moving and interesting take on that. What happens is a farce (the bad kind) and a parade of jokes that are neither particularly funny or well-edited giving off bad timing and uncertainty as to whether a joke was intended or not.

So aside from the actually pretty likeable cast of actors assembled what is there to enjoy?...I suppose the novelty of a movie made by Sony that's somehow a giant ad for Apple. Hurray!
