Fun watch
Really, it's not that bad. I have no idea why people are raving about how bad it was. It's like all the other popular comedies out there. It's not meant to be profound. Yes, some of the things meant to make me laugh didn't, but others did. For example, I don't find the scenes with the dog funny, but I love the raunchiness and the premise. Fear the cloud!
Also, nice to see a naked DUDE for a change instead of just female nudity!!!!!
Why do I need 10 lines? This is silly... why say more than necessary. I think being concise is more appreciated.

Pretty bad
This is the problem with going out with friends who have very different taste in films than you... you get dragged to go see stuff like this, stuff that you would have otherwise not seen. I've gotten really tired of Jason Segal doing his usual comedy routine in everything he comes out in. I'm so sick of him. Cameron Diaz is charming enough and definitely does her best, but there's just so much one can do with the material. The supporting performances aren't bad, in particular Rob Lowe who is pretty hilarious. The scenes in his house are easily the only good thing about the film, and seeing as how that part was pretty hilarious, I can't give it such a lower score.
Promising Storyline, Disappointing Movie
Jay (Jason Segel) and his girlfriend Annie (Cameron Diaz) love each other and have sex in the most unusual places. They get married and have two children, and soon their sex life is almost inexistent. One night, Annie leaves their children with her mother to have a night of sex with Jay, but they are tense and fail. Annie suggests Jay to make a home video to rekindle their sexual life and they have three hours of kinky sex.
Annie asks Jay to delete the footage but he forgets and leaves it in a cloud. Soon they search the Ipods they have given to their friends to promote Jay's songs to delete the video. But Jay receives a phone call from someone that has had access to the video. Who might be the mysterious intruder?
"Sex Tape" is an unfunny and disappointing comedy with a promising storyline. Most of the situations and characters are silly or stupid. The cameo of Jack Black and many scenes of Cameron Diaz are the best in this forgettable movie. My vote is four.

The Trailer is Better Than the Whole Film!
When they were just dating, Jay and Annie had the best sex anywhere and anytime. Since they got married and had kids though, their sexual activity dipped to below zero. One frustrating night when their attempts for sex were going nowhere, Annie hits on the idea to take a video of themselves having sex to make things more exciting. Aroused by the camera, they had a three-hour sex marathon following all the positions prescribed in the book "The Joy of Sex".
In the morning, Annie reminds Jay to delete the video. However, Jay inadvertently uploads the video onto the cloud and an app automatically shared it with people to whom they had given their old iPads to, including their kids, parents, friends, and even the mailman. Jay and Annie scramble to get all of these iPads back and off the internet.
All of that I had written in the synopsis you can also get from watching the trailer. All the funny parts are already there in that short clip. When you watch the whole film, there was nothing else worth watching anymore. In fact, the trailer was even edited better than the film itself, making it more hilarious than the film itself.
After the initial funny premise had already been laid down, the rest of the film was nothing more than prolonging the agony and beating an already dead horse. That whole sequence in the house of Rob Lowe's character (as the CEO of the company interested in buying Annie's mommy blog) was unbearably unfunny.
Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz are funny actors, but these are already very familiar roles for them and they seem to just be sleepwalking through them. Segel, in particular seems to be stereotyped already in this type of role of a lovelorn loser. Diaz is a favorite actress of mine, and I am able to find something positive in even her reviled films, like "Bad Teacher" (which also starred Segel). There is still her great-looking body to like here, but unfortunately, not much else.

Lots of negative reviews, but I liked it.
I thought this was a fun movie. People seem to be taking it way too seriously and bashing it. Jason and Cameron if your reading this, I liked it. Keep it up.
