Rating: 7 out of 10, This
was a follow up to Bad Teacher using the same pairing of leads – Segel and Diaz. They’re a married couple trying to rediscover
their horny ways lost with the arrival of parenthood. They choose to do that by videoing their
connubial interactions. Unfortunately
the device they used is automatically synched with a number of other devices in
the hands of friends, neighbors, and the mailman; hilarity ensues. The movie was funny at times, as long as you
could suspend your disbelief that Segel could ever score with Diaz. Diaz has a real talent for comedy and she
carries the movie, along with her fully toned backside. The movie loses its way near the finish line
as they try to get too cute and heartfelt instead of sticking with the outrageous
gags. This is also the first movie I’ve
seen him in that Rob Corddry doesn’t dominate as a supporting character; leads
me to assume a weak writing team. It was
still a lot of laughs if a little uncomfortable at times.
MVP: Diaz and her
backside
