Celebrity Sex Tape (2012) Reviews

• Anything can pass as a movie apparently...

  paul_haakonsen2012-07-26

  Right, "Celebrity Sex Tape" is definitely not meant for an audience that I am part of. This is one of the most boring and ridiculous movies I have had to suffer through. Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, as I gave up half way through the movie. I gave up out of sheer boredom and because the movie was nothing more than an outlet to show off nudity and stupid sex scenes. I am sure that if you are about 18 years old and just coming of age, then you might think this is a great movie, for for anyone just a tad more grown up and mature, this is nothing more than a waste of film reel. The story is about a group of young people who make a sex video of some semi-famous celebrity. It gets uploaded to the internet and becomes and overnight sensation. The manager of the celebrity shows up and blackmails the young guys for $500.000 which is due in 30 days. What do they do in order to raise the money? Find washed-up has-been celebrities and promise to revitalize their careers if they have sex on video. Well, I wasn't amused one bit by this storyline, and to be honest I found it super boring and immature. I will say that for the acting, then the people they had cast for the roles were doing good enough jobs. But the Asian stereotyping was just offensive to everyone, even non-Asians. I just simply gave up just before halfway through the movie. And if you are a fan of proper cinema, then avoid this movie at all costs. It is perhaps your kind of movie if you are in high school or college, or if you just think these no-brainer movies qualifies as entertainment.

• Horrible acting not sure about the other reviewers...

  rcwells862012-08-02

  I watched some of this and was unable to get past the first 20 minutes sadly, the acting was extremely over the top and horrible. I could not stand any of the characters introduced besides maybe the short haired stoned looking kid which spoke about 2 times that I saw. I honestly just could not get passed the ridiculous storyline and the Z movie acting, me and my friends could have filmed a better movie if we had some hot girls showing boobs easily with a $300 budget(would not be hard to get some girls from my college to do something like this for some money). Also the plot hole is obvious from the start as another reviewer stated about cocaine.

• Politically incorrect and sexist entertainment.

  BlackJack_B2013-07-31

  The Asylum's Celebrity Sex Tape is the most offensive, politically incorrect and sexist film I've seen in some time. It's clear that the filmmakers set out to make an offensive film and they succeeded in spades. That said, it's not bad provided you watch it in small doses. 5 young men of various races (including a Chinese boy who has all his dialogue subtitled) somehow get a washed-up celebrity to bed one of them and they record it and put it online. It becomes a sensation and this causes some shady boss to threaten them with extortion. They have to earn $500,000 in a month or else he'll press charges. They create more sex tapes and the boss then tells them they will have to accept only "his" clients. All but one of the boys partake in these videos, the exception is one boy who wishes to lose his virginity to his girlfriend and not some stranger. CST is chock-full of female nudity. So much so it borders on overkill. The script is very weak, relying on profanity 50% of the time and it has that low-budget look that The Asylum movies always strive for. Regardless, it serves as an indictment for our celebrity driven society and how the famous can't live life without said fame once it's gone and will do anything to stay in the spotlight. There's even a wicked twist ending to boot. Certainly not for everybody but if you're looking for raunchy fun, it's worth checking out at the home for The Asylum's product.

• Even having a tooth ripped out of your mouth is less painful than watching Celebrity Sex Tape

  TheLittleSongbird2013-01-15

  I am usually not a fan at all of this type of movie and I wasn't expecting much from it. However, I try to be encouraging and to give any movie a chance regardless of the general consensus of opinions. I don't know how I managed to get through the whole thing- well maybe that's a lie as I have never considered not watching a whole movie a fair judgement- but I did, and I am still kicking myself at what a waste of time Celebrity Sex Tape turned out to be, it actually managed to be even worse than I expected. Poorly shot and edited and overly gaudy, it is an amateurish movie visually. Add a soundtrack that only seems to be there for the sake of it without any real purpose, dialogue so cheesy your teeth are aching from gritting your teeth so hard and a predictable at best and non-existent at worst story and you have even more reasons to hate Celebrity Sex Tape. But wait, I haven't finished yet. If there is a movie from any of the movies I've seen in the past quarter of a year that had more annoying characters than here, I've not seen them, with the story as thin as it was the pacing also contributes to the tedium that Celebrity Sex Tape and the acting is atrocious especially from the actor who looked, sounded and acted like an unfunny Chris Rock wannabe. And I completely agree about the Asian stereotyping and am glad that I wasn't alone in my thoughts on them, not that there was stereotyping but that the stereotyping was crude, unsubtle and offensive. All in all, a terrible movie that is painful to watch in all areas. 1/10 Bethany Cox

• It has its moments

  olliemankz2014-04-30

  Celebrity Sex Tape has some nice moments, both of which I happened to catch as I'm usually doing something else while monitoring a movie on Netflix. Seriously, there did seem to be some morales to the story, though the morals are pretty low if you care about that sort of thing. Or, actually, much of what was probably meant to be a huge draw suggested what I have heard about sex among teens ... I suppose this could generalize to college-age: it's like a handshake. Nobody takes it very seriously but boy if you are a t*t man, that's all there is. I didn't realize how endowed some women can be. (This was never my gift.) I guess those are the ones who go to Hollywood. There were plenty of bit parts in this movie if you didn't mind doing what was required of you. As, as mentioned afore, I am not usually completely focused on a movie, unfortunately, I don't know what happened to one storyline but it seemed cute: the football player who doesn't seem to realize how much he likes his best friend/personal trainer. I don't think I have spoiled anything for anyone as that was introduced at the beginning, and it seemed promising for laughs. You'd just better suspend your moral compass for a while to enjoy this one. I think it may deserve a complete watch. Just be prepared for nonstop Girls Gone Wild.
