- 63Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanChicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanSex Tape feels like the halves of two different movies. There is a fun, believable comedy about family life... that is upended by the overly broad, barely funny attempts at reclaiming the sex tape.
- 58HitfixDrew McWeenyHitfixDrew McWeenyThe film wants to be wild and dark and crazy, but it's also a big studio summer movie, and so it feels like it flirts with truly insane material, but without ever really committing to it.
- 50The PlaylistDrew TaylorThe PlaylistDrew TaylorAt 100-minutes, the movie drags and drags until finally losing steam in the last act and then collapses into a pile of worn out platitudes, limp gross out gags and gooey sentiment.

- 40The DissolveScott TobiasThe DissolveScott TobiasSex Tape is a case study in how little interest American movies—and especially American sex comedies—have in dealing with sex as anything other than a source of cheap giggles and nonstop humiliation.
- 33The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIt’s less a movie than a bad sitcom episode stretched to feature length and raunched up to an R rating.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthySex Tape is sexcruciating.
- 30VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangSex Tape is an unaccountable drag — strained, toothless and far too tame to achieve the sort of outrageous, raunchy-titillating effect it’s aiming for.
- 30TheWrapInkoo KangTheWrapInkoo KangSex Tape is a hustler of a film — it works very hard for its laughs — but it's so haphazardly directed (by Jake Kasdan) and written (by Kate Angelo and Segel and Nicholas Stoller) that it can easily be divided into three distinct sections.
