Ten years into marriage, sapped by kids and the humdrum routine of life, a couple, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, make a sex tape (film themselves having sex), in a desperate attempt to rekindle their sexual fire. However, now they’re faced with the prospect that a lot of their friends and associates, including the mailman, may have it on their iPads (thanks to an autosynch app). And it may even go viral.
The movie really works only till this point – and here are the top five reasons why
1. Ludicrous Situations : Most sane people wouldn’t go about salvaging the situation the way our lead pair does. Their clumsy attempts to retrieve the files, the behavior of the people involved, their dumb excuses, the cheap attempts to draw laughs via a canine displays a tendency to go for the easy route, a la Sajid Khan, rather than work on the script. The whole scene at Rob Lowe's, her future boss, probably the lowest point of the movie.
2. Indian Censors : The most you get to see are Cameron’s perky nipples poking through a white T-Shirt. Our beloved censors (and I include their political masters here), driven by a misplaced, hypocritical sense of morality, do not deem us capable of handling anything further, thus (probably) depriving us of the best parts of the film
3. Cameron Diaz : She has a great figure but doesn’t look hot anymore. Wrinkles, a certain haggardness and that famous smile that wears slightly thin implies that she is unable to carry the film on her once curvaceous frame, which would’ve been a no-brainer in her ‘The Mask’ or 'There's Something About Mary' days
4. Gyaan from Jack Black : Nothing can demonstrate that there is something fundamentally wrong with the thought process and script, as when they have Jack Black, in a brief over-the-top cameo, actually come and dispense life changing pearls of wisdom. Apart from the innate silliness of the specific situation, I just felt they chose the wrong casting option.
5. Indian crowd : Especially in the late night shows, this film is likely to attract the worst kind of crowd, including groups of men, attracted like moths by the title, determined to have fun via cheap remarks, loud laughter and silly behavior. Probably better to wait for it to come on the tv

The Indian crowd : The worst is when you are watching an intense scene and some loud mouth's phone starts ringing..and the person HAS to take that very important call. The world would come to a stand still, if it remains unanswered ! Can't people keep their gadgets at home, come with a free mind to enjoy a film. The least they can do is to keep it on silent mode.. Masala chewing Baniya crowd is the worst of the lot, come in hordes, boss around as though they own the hall, ordering pop-corn, cold-drinks and all the other junk.. Wish they could understand that no body is interested in their non-stop running commentary.. ... One goes to the movie hall to unwind, for that change - from monotony, to see smiling faces, happy people, to relax the mind, (varna to mulla ki daur masjid tak)...but with such specimens around, not many would have the patience to sit through the tale... One wonders - wouldn't it have been better staying at home...kuch maheeno baad TV mein to aa he jaayegi... It is upsetting to see kids taken to watch films like Haider...Pray, better sense prevails on such parents...
Children should be taken for a ride on the Metro, taken to the zoo, botanical gardens, shown how crops are grown, plants are maintained, there is so much one can do with kids... They should enjoy reading books rather than loitering around in malls..watching nonsensical cartoons, playing video games.. They should be playing around with their imagination..draw, paint, create.... Now a days there are reading clubs too..reading should be made a habit at a tender age itself..
Thanx for the input. You just saved me 91minutes.
Your nominees for sexiest movie scene ever ... ?
Sex is the holiest act in this black age. True lovers can attain the ultimate state of nirvana... There is a deep, overpowering inner knowing between lovers, which dismisses all logic. One can feel the energy literally dancing between them. The union of twin souls and true lovers...
Am I not normal?
Whew ! He has an almost palpable, manic energy. He is inexhaustible. He is insatiable...
He is an exceptionally great kisser (not that I have much experience)... He rules. He is a complete man. Adore him as anything..
What he does have is an abundance of brains and an inexhaustible desire to succeed. He has the perfect blend of strategic vision and street smarts. He is well connected and has many reasons to be happy. He is barely in his forties, but his curly unruly hair and boyish features make him appear far younger, any female can be mistaken for a college student :)

Blue Moon...
He is the reason I survive...
The sun shone in through the window, birds twittered in the tree tops, and, generally speaking, hope dawned once more... The man's a genius. Endeavours to give satisfaction.. It's rummy how sleeping on a thing often makes you feel quite different about it. It's happened to me over and over again.. Feeling about as cheerio as is possible...
He seemed to draw me like a magnet. I seemed to forget everything. We two were alone in a world of music, wine and sunshine...there was a look in his eyes that I can't describe.. He walks in like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies, and all that's best of dark and bright meet in his aspect and his eyes...
Being alone... Its so cozy and quaint.. ... He's an aficionado.. Semper Aequus.. So prime of his life.. His hair is dark, long, and curly and it perfectly frame's a face that is thin and attractive. He wears glasses and he is clean-shaven. And his natural musky smell makes me...
