All I knew is I hated the trailer for how often it mentioned The Cloud as if it was some poorly understood construct that existed in a parallel multiverse and... no.

No no. No.

Can it really be that bad? I giggled at your mere mention of "nostrocockus."

In other words, the perfect movie for the 'Slog' demographic?

I actually had the exact opposite reaction to Dawn of the Apes. How did such a superbly crafted film get made with so many cooks in the kitchen and rewrites, the last of which was done by the screenwriter of Live Free or Die Hard.

@3 I assume you mean asshole trolls who think they are somehow witty. I'll buy you a ticket.

I see these "raunchy" summer comedies come out every year and they are almost always bad, but I always hope that maybe, just maybe, this time will be different. I'm almost always disappointed, to the point where I don't go to theaters to see comedies anymore, AT ALL.

For every Bridesmaids, 21 Jumpstreet, and Forgetting Sarah Marshal there are 10 Sex Tape/Neighbors/Your Highness/Year One's that couldn't get a laugh if they had electrodes wired to the humor center of my brain.

Yet another random "white people" reference from the self-loathing Constant, who apparently can't stand the fact that he himself is a pasty white male.

The movie can't be any worse or witless than the title of this post.

Also irritating: "Sex Tape" contains no actual sex or tapes.

Christ. American hipsters are insufferable.

They just haaaate themselves. They hate their food. Their cities. Their art.

They hate their own bodies. And even the color of their own skin.

And they will use every opportunity from essays about Summer to movie reviews to tell you all about it.

Of course this movie is stupid. I mean - Carmen Diaz for fuck sake.

But, jesus. the self hatred and loathing in Constants writing here is just in-suff-er-able. God. Take some Xanax for fuck sake.

@7 it's like original sin. It's basically Catholicism for white hipsters.

So, I gather if you had said about some Tyler Perry movie "This movie parades everything that everyone hates about black people around on screen for ninety minutes" that wouldn't be ok, because it's racist. Racism isn't suddenly ok because white people are your target Mr. Self Hater.

I just can't suspend disbelief enough to imagine a world in which Jason Segal and Cameron Diaz would be a couple.
15
@14: wait - bad teacher world doesn't exist?
16
This looks bad, but I wouldn't take it seriously enough to get seriously offended by it.

And most movies are about white people and their problems, including lots of movie you've favorably reviewed.

@14, I can imagine a world in which Cameron Diaz and Jason Siegel were a couple, not without unpleasantness, but it's possible. What I can't imagine is a world in which anyone gives a crap whether they made a sex tape or not. Maybe in 2005, but not now. It all just seems very Kardashian today.

This looked stupid and not worth a trip to the theater, but thanks for confirming it.

How do they get such "a-list" people in the cast? I mean, I get it: it's an Apple ad, so I know why such a stupid plot got made into a movie (and I understand that implying you see Cameron Diaz having sex is supposed to be the teaser that gets people to actually go, though frankly, I've never understood her appeal, and I'm not the pickiest), but how can they afford to get the actors?

Never understood the appeal of those Freaks in Freaks and Geeks.They're the same in every movie..Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. And then there's the completely implausible alternate universes where the man-boy dullard slobs always get the hot smart girls.

Go rent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Mr Constant. You need to erase this pap from your memory forever. Then never watch any of the Freaks' movies ever again. Now, if the Geeks start making movies..

Ugh, please delete one of the posts. Sorry, don't know what happened there

Please wait...
