3 Things I Learned From the Movie Sex Tape

Synopsis: Sex Tape stars Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz as married couple Jay and Annie who are still very much in love, but ten years and two kids have cooled the passion.  To get it back, they decide – why not? – 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 has gone public.  In a panic, they begin a wild night of adventure – tracking down leads, roping in friends, duping Annie’s boss – all to reclaim their video, their reputation, their sanity, and, most importantly, their marriage. 

3 Things I Learned From the Movie Sex Tape.

Number 1:  Cameron Diaz has a great butt.  Seriously.  And you’ll see it several times in the movie, along with Jason Segel’s.  At age 41, Diaz looks amazing.  Which makes me kind of hate her.  I do keep in mind that if she really was a mom of 2 then after the pregnancies, births, and breastfeeding, she (and her body) wouldn’t be so perky.  But, I could be wrong.  And how can anyone hate someone as cool as Cameron Diaz anyway?

Number 2:  Cause for intimacy.  After a full day’s work, commuting, transporting, homework, dinner, dishes, and baths, it’s understandable the last thing on an exhausted parent’s mind would be sex.  With Jay and Annie, they’ve scheduled a night of passion but have some trouble reigniting their desire and look to a sex tape to spice things up.  In the end, Sex Tape tries to convey the message that it is important for couples to realize why they made the commitment in the first place.  While a sex tape could be that spice your love life needs, it’s only a quick fix and distracts from bigger problems – like forgetting what you love about your partner. 

Number 3:  It’s okay to high five your partner in bed.  After all, you are a team.  For me, this was one of the funniest moments in the movie.  Segel and Diaz have such awesome comedic chemistry.  If you are looking for a not over-the-top raunchy movie that won’t make you do any thinking, Sex Tape is for you and will keep you laughing from start to finish.
