Synopsis
Friends that play together, stay together… even if the game in question is tag. For one month every year, five friends organize an elaborate, all-out, no-holds-barred version of that age-old playground game. They’ll travel across the country. They’ll risk their necks. They’ll sacrifice their dignity – all to win. But when the one undefeated player in the group decides to get hitched, the others determine that this time around it’s his turn to be “it”. Starring Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Annabelle Wallis, Rashida Jones, and Isla Fisher, Tag is based on a true story. No, seriously – the film is inspired by a real group of friends who have really been playing a game of tag for over 30 years. Now that’s the kind of “ripped from the headlines” you don’t see every day.

Atom User Reviews
This movie is the epitome of friendship
Entertained throughout. Highly recommend
Metacritic
Tag ends up being good fun, with an unexpectedly sweet spirit that stays with you. It’s really about the persistence of friendship, a vision of adult life as the playground we would love it to be.
As a studio comedy, Tag is just about diverting enough to avoid total disaster, but it lacks the self-awareness and depth that might’ve turned it into a genre classic.
While Tag doesn’t get every character beat right, it nails the energy and enduring companionship that the game has engendered among the friends. It’s the kind of frothy escapist fare that goes down easy on a hot summer day, with a big old beating heart to boot.
