A MOVIE ABOUT A MOVIE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE. Ā
After being married for almost a decade, raising kids, Annie and Jay (Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel) spice up their sex life by making a private tapeā¦ but it is accidentally uploaded to the cloud. A raunchy comedy that tries to connect to understandable fears in our tech-heavy times; as Segel says in the film, who even knows what the cloud is? Still, the whole set-up is improbable and made worse by an excruciatingly long, unfunny visit to Rob Lowe’s weird mansion. We may sympathizeā¦ but there are no laughs here.
