Sex Tape - Plot

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.

Sex Tape - FAQs

What is Sex Tape about?

Sex Tape follows Jay and Annie, a married couple trying to reignite their spark by filming themselves working through every position in The Joy of Sex. Things go hilariously wrong when the video accidentally syncs to multiple iPads they've given away, sending them on a frantic, chaotic night-long mission to get it back.

Who are the main actors in Sex Tape?

Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel lead the cast as Annie and Jay, the couple at the center of the chaos. They're joined by Rob Corddry and Ellie Kemper as their best friends, plus Rob Lowe in a memorable supporting role as Hank, Annie's unexpectedly wild boss.

Why does the video spread in Sex Tape?

Jay uses a shared iPad account to give old devices to friends and family, and the video automatically syncs to all of them via iCloud. It's a very 2014 tech nightmare — the couple essentially handed out their most private moment without realizing it, which kicks off the whole frantic adventure.

Is Rob Lowe's scene in Sex Tape improvised?

Rob Lowe's wildly entertaining sequence at Hank's mansion — including his cocaine-fueled energy and his collection of dark artwork — became one of the film's most talked-about moments. While the script set up the scene, Lowe's committed, go-for-broke performance gave it much of its memorable, off-the-rails energy.

Where can I stream Sex Tape?

You can stream Sex Tape on Starz, including through the Starz Amazon Channel, Starz Apple TV Channel, and Starz Roku Premium Channel. It's also available to rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube, and Fandango At Home.

What is the age rating for Sex Tape?

Sex Tape is rated R in the United States, meaning it's intended for audiences 17 and older. The rating reflects the film's strong sexual content, crude humor, and language. In other territories it carries similar adult ratings, including MA15+ in Australia and a 15 certificate in the UK.

How long is Sex Tape?

Sex Tape runs for 94 minutes — just under an hour and a half. It's a tight, fast-moving comedy that keeps the pace up as Jay and Annie scramble through one increasingly absurd situation after another in their race to contain the damage before morning.

What are some movies similar to Sex Tape?

If you enjoyed Sex Tape, you might also like Horrible Bosses 2 for its raunchy ensemble comedy energy, or Our Little Secret for a lighthearted romantic comedy vibe. For something with a similar chaotic-night-gone-wrong structure, Threesome (2014) and I Love You, Stupid (2020) are worth checking out.
