Summary
A married couple, struggling to keep the spark alive after years of parenting, decide to film themselves trying every position in The Joy of Sex. When the video accidentally syncs to several iPads they've given away as gifts, they spend a frantic night trying to track down and erase every copy before friends, family, and the mailman see it.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,114 of whom clear the calibration test. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 170 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 172 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Sex Tape lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 170.
