Sex Tape (2014)

This movie is about a couple who experiences the changes in a relationship that happen when you have been with that person for a while. At first it is wonderful and sex fueled, but then things slow down. They decide to make sex tape when there kids are at there grandparents hows but the guy forgets to delete it the next day. It automatically gets uploaded to his cloud and sent to all the iPad' s he was given out as gifts.

In an effort to keep it from getting out, they try and track each one down but run into some problems. This is a real funny movie, great for dates but not for kids.
