Tag

Thirty years later a small group of childhood friends are still engaged in an annual and moderately organized game of Tag during the month of May. And, this might just be the year that Jerry (Jeremy Renner) is deflowered as “it,” you see, all this time Jerry has never been tagged. Hogan, Bob, Randy, and Kevin (Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Jake Johnson, Hannibal Buress) will have to come together as never before, all the while supported by Hogan’s wife Anna (Isla Fisher) and the watchful eye of reporter Rebecca (Annabelle Wallis). Getting Jerry may be one goal; but, there may be a bigger message about Tag than any of these friends ever anticipated. Directed by Jeff Tomsic and written by Rob McKittrick and Mark Steilen this deceptively compelling story about brotherhood tees up irreverent male humor with enough heart and soul to deliver a heartwarming message in a simple package, and, loosely based on a true story none the less. Simple escapism awaits as we roll closer to the Summertime blockbuster season just days away, there isn’t exactly rocket science involved in this slapstick adventure, but rather, enough laughs to cross the finish line in fair enough order, especially with a run time of an hour and forty minutes. Tag is rated R.
