In short, it's a PG plot for an X-rated story.

I counted three laughs in this wannabe bawdy comedy of errors, and one of them was a Breaking Bad gag so far past its tell-by date that even I got the joke.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 7, 2014

Sex Tape is wittier and less smutty than its reputation might suggest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2014

This gormless farrago feels like the manifestation of a vast collective nervous breakdown.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 5, 2014

Does it matter that the film itself ain't that funny? Annie and Jay are mostly anodyne; Diaz and Segel really don't click.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2014

The best news here is the elasticity of the star pairing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2014

Like cinematic contraception, this mirthless nonsense may put you off movies AND sex.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 4, 2014

Limp.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 4, 2014

Not especially funny or sexy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 4, 2014

A tired premise and a sheen of desperate flop sweat tanks this DOA comedy, which plays more like an ancient Playboy doodle than a full-fledged movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2014

Even for a farce, the situations stretch credulity far beyond the breaking point.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 24, 2014

It is a bland, clawless comedy; a cautionary tale of a high concept gone horribly, horribly wrong.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 24, 2014

Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel are perfectly matched in 'Sex Tape'... a high energy, engaging comedy.

It's strange to watch a comedy full of talented people that does not work from the opening scene. It's like eating food and not tasting anything.

Sex Tape is warmer and more amusing than its ads would lead one to believe. In fact, it's almost good enough, leaning a little too hard on the innate likability of stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel.

| Jul 18, 2014

It's fitfully funny and exuberantly eager to please. The chief problem with Sex Tape, however, is that it remains a comedy of blushes as opposed to full-blown embarrassment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 18, 2014

At heart, it's about as naughty as an old Disney movie with Dean Jones, Suzanne Pleshette, and an unruly Great Dane. I liked its gung-ho slapstick spirit, though. No one's slacking off.

| Jul 18, 2014

Sex is treated first as brainless imperative, then as acrobatic duty, then as desperate consequence - it's never sexy in any way.

| Original Score: C | Jul 18, 2014

The folks behind Sex Tape did their homework. They just forgot the laughs.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 18, 2014

I laughed a few times in the early bits, and there's a central segment with Rob Lowe that's genuinely bizarre and funny. And then it all falls apart.
