Trailer Weekly: 'Sex Tape,' 'Let's Be Cops' and 'Cold in July'

This week’s edition of Trailer Weekly has both comedy and drama. Sex Tape is about a married couple, who find that the sex tape they made the night before has been accidentally sent to everyone they know and go to stop it from hitting the Internet. Let’s Be Cops is a screwball comedy where two friends dress up as cops for a costume party, but then take the charade a bit too far. Cold in July is a crime drama chronicling a man who must keep his family safe from the father of the man he accidentally killed. All three movies have A-list stars in their casts, two of them are uproarious comedies sure to pack in fans of raunchy humor and the third is a nailbiter sure to keep moviegoers on the edge of their seats. In addition, each movie, has an innovative and timely plot that moviegoers in today’s society will identify with, which surely won’t hurt their individual box office sales.

Sex Tape is a comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, who starred in 2001’s Bad Teacher together. They’re once again sharing the screen, but this time as a married couple, who have been married for 10 years, have two children and their sex life is practically non-existent because of their schedules. One night they decide to spice things up and make a sex tape. Then, somehow instead of it being erased, it gets sent to all of their family and friends and they scramble to find it before it lands on the Internet. Co-starring Rob Lowe, Jack Black and Rob Corddry, the trailer shows the spot-on comedic timing between Segel and Diaz as they scramble to prevent their characters’ kids from seeing the recording and it going viral. It opens in theaters on Friday, July 25.

Let’s Be Cops is a comedy starring Damon Wayans Jr. and New Girl’s Jake Johnson. The two buddies decide to go a costume party dressed as cops and people actually believe them to be the real thing. So, they decide to take their masquerade a step further, get a police car, siren, the whole bit and start patrolling their neighborhood as real cops. The trailer details the outrageous situations they get themselves into. Co-starring Andy Garcia, Nina Dobrev and Rob Riggle, the two friends get in over their heads trying to play the roles of “hero” cops. It opens in theaters on Wednesday, August 13.

Cold in July is a crime drama starring Dexter’s Michael C. Hall, Don Johnson, Vinessa Shaw and Sam Shepard. It’s based on the cult novel of the same name by Joe R. Lansdale. Set in East Texas in the 1980s, the plot shows Hall’s character killing an intruder, who the cops say was a wanted felon, but he learns he didn’t kill the felon, he killed someone else, whose father is now out on parole and looking for revenge. Hall’s performance looks riveting as a man trying to protect his wife and young son, from a man determined to seek vengeance. It opens in theaters on Friday, May 23.
