sex tape


I personally enjoyed watching Bad Teacher where Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel were both starring. They were funny and really cute together in the movie. ONLY IN THE MOVIE. So when I saw the trailer of Sex tape, I didn't really care about the storyline and the inappropriateness of butt showing, I just cared about how these two are acting together again.

So I decided to pay for the movie and watched it in cinema.

Turns out, whoa. When I say whoa, I mean, I did not expect this much level of sex scene plus, the number of product placement, particularly Apple, shown and spoken in this movie.



1. As the trailer showed, it was VERY obvious that the whole accident began by iCloud and of course, iCloud is Apple's technology that allows each devices to sync together so users can access to all their files on different devices. In this movie, the reputation of iCloud was not that great considering how it synced the sex tape and brought catastrophe in this family. However, the movie literally taught the movie audiences about what iCloud is, what it does, and even how they can delete the files that were synced in one computer. They literally say the steps of how to delete the file that were synced to all devices - because that is how the characters deleted their sex tape.

2. When the movie is about iCloud's syncing skills, it is obvious how much and many times Apple products will appear in this movie. It starts of by Annie typing the blog by using Mac, Apple product number one. Then, Jay buys iPad, Apple product number two. They say iPad so many times, and the product it actually the centre of the movie --> Annie and Jay drive around, knocking their friends and family's house door and ask for their iPad back so they can delete their sex tape that was synced by iCloud. There. There is the whole story plot. seriously. This is it. But they did a good job of trying to cover the Apple logo, although everyone knows the design of Apple by now so when they look at it, people automatically knows that the brand is Apple.



3. Verbal product placement - Bed bath and beyond and Project runaway.

4. So, what transportation did they use when they retrieved their iPads? good question! GMC car. They own GMC car. They drive around with their kids, they use it to break the garage and enter the porn company - and yes the car is completely fine. No damage at all.

5. Then again, the centre of this movie- pornsites. They mention so many porn sites where I am shocked of how many there are. I have never heard of them and  I was just like whattttt did they just make it up? but I think they just googled them?? But omg, they mentioned more than 20 pornsites.

6. It seems that when people listen to music or wants to wear earphone or earplugs, they just happen to use Beats by Dr. Dre and this movie is not an exception. Jay wears Beats earphone and if you know this brand, you will automatically notice it like me.

One last thing to say, I personally think this movie should be rated more than R16 judging by the number of word "sex" and "porn" mentioned, appearances of naked butts, and other other things that I cannot possibly type. But I kind of understand why the movie rating was R16 and not R18 because to all of us, R18 is like super super adult movie. But this movie was funny and inappropriate. So I understand the struggle of how to rate this movie but if I were the movie rater, I would rate as R18.

2/5 but product placement, 4/5.
