For one month every year, five highly competitive friends hit the ground running in a no-holds-barred game of tag they’ve been playing since the first grade. This year, the game coincides with the wedding of their only undefeated player, which should finally make him an easy target. But he knows they’re coming...and he’s ready.
What critics thought
Tag lands in firmly mixed territory — a likable enough ensemble comedy that earns goodwill from its stranger-than-fiction premise but rarely pushes past the merely adequate. Critics split most sharply on whether the film's heartfelt underpinnings rescue its conventional execution or simply make it feel all the more formulaic.
“Tag leaves audiences energized and, dare I say, inspired, having delivered all that outrageousness...in service of what ultimately amounts to a sincere celebration of lasting human connections.”
Peter Debruge·Variety
“Tag, unlike too many of its recent ilk, at least bothers to be a movie, rather than a television sketch distended to feature length. The performers don't seem to have been shoved in front of the camera and instructed to be funny. They have to work for their laughs, and to find coherence as an ensemble.”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“neither bad nor good, but rather, despite its out-there story, almost numbingly ordinary: an easy, breezy action-com that's sometimes amusing but rarely funny, competent rather than inspired.”
