The critical consensus

Prudes rest easy; porn enthusiasts be warned. Jake Kasdan’s Sex Tape (despite its R-rating and attention-grabbing title) is a silly, harmless little film about a silly, harmless little film.

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

**(*)(*)(*)Olly Richards, Empire Online, 01/09/2014

Segel and Diaz are fine, cute and up for it, but they are let down by a cynical script more interested in selling hardware than entertaining the audience.

**(*)(*)(*)Ken McIntyre, Total Film, 01/09/2014

Sex Tape is brisk but annoyingly light on laughs, a slight fumbling of an idea that deserved a more rigorous exploration.

**(*)(*)(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 01/09/2014

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

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 03/09/2014

Jake Kasdan’s film does not permit itself the cynicism and irony that might have made the subject interesting because it is constantly reassuring us that Annie and Jay are nice, loving people. Sweetly, they care about each other. But it’s not clear why we should care about them.

It all feels terribly feeble and no matter how energetic and broad the comedy mugging of Diaz and an ill-looking Segel it rarely raises a laugh. What a right old Carry On.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 05/09/2014

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.
