Snark, Critic and Pop!

Our friends at the Asylum have done it again with their new film Celebrity Sex Tape (release date of February 14th, 2012 – just in time for valentines day… I know what one lucky woman is getting this year!).  What the major studios fail to grasp about the sex comedy genre is that getting big name celebrities is not the way to go.  As a viewer, do you really believe Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timberlakeare awkward with women?  Do you believe that Mila Kunis doesn’t have a full realization of just how incredibly hot she is?  Of course not, and that where it all falls apart.  Sure, they make some money but the movies are forgettable.  Will you remember the plot of Celebrity Sex Tape ten years from now?  No.  Will you remember that you really enjoyed watching it?  Yes.

The film centers around a group of college students who get invited to a party in the Hollywood Hills in payment for doing homework for two in the closet jocks.  One of them winds up having sex with a washed up, drunken, drugged out actress and the other one records it on his cell phone.  When they get home the next day, they show the tape to the one guy who didn’t go and mock him, then decide that leaving him with the phone could have no bad consequences despite the fact that he is webmaster for the site Pornderosa.com…

Needless to say the video goes up on the web and they become local legends.  Unfortunately for them they also attrcat the attention of the celebrities “agent” who come for a visit along with some heavies, and tells them they have 1 month to come up with $500,000 or he will kill them, toss them in a ditch and send them to prison.  They decide to convince more washed up celebrities to have sex with them on camera and make money on the internet (presumably though pop up ads for generic Viagra).  Wackiness, and more importantly loads of nudity ensue culminating in the one virgin left among them being forced into losing his virginity on camera behind his girlfriends back.

I don’t think I need to get to fine on the plot here.  What I can tell you is this – the film is genuinely very funny, and there are some very hot women taking there clothes off.  You rent the DVD, you know what you’re getting in to.  This is the Asylums best sex comedy since #1 Cheerleading Camp.
