IN BRIEF:
Pretty poor but not entirely without amusement - three audible laughs, which is three more than Diaz's previous "comedy" out this year, The Other Woman. It's easy to see at least the first half as an advert for the ipad before it shifts into a weird chapter about 'YouPorn' (strange to think this is considered appropriate for 15 year-olds), including an uncredited surprise cameo. Rob Lowe provides some value as a coke-using Metal fan with a curious collection of Disney-inspired paintings (a gag that wears thin after picture #2). It may be vaguely sexy at the start but by the end it's somewhere from 'meh' downwards. It's evenly lit (not necessarily a bad thing) and pretty cheap looking in places (you can pretty much tell when it's a body double simply by the absence of the star's face and even when you can, it's possible that some photoshopping was employed).
