Sex Tape (2014): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2014, Sex Tape is a comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan, running about 97 minutes. “A movie about a movie they don't want you to see.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. When Jay and Annie first got together, their romantic connection was intense – but ten years and two kids later, the flame of their love needs a spark. To kick things up a notch, they decide – why not? – to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session. It seems like a great idea – until they discover that their most private video is no longer private. With their reputations on the line, they know they’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world... but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they'll never forget, they'll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for.

Who’s in it. Sex Tape stars Cameron Diaz as Annie, Jason Segel as Jay, Rob Corddry as Robby and Ellie Kemper as Tess, among others.
