Set 30 years after a group of nine-year-old besties, Hoagie, Jerry, Bob, Chili and Kevin create a ritual game of tag that they play throughout May each year, it may have been the game that brought them together each year as their lives change over time. With the untagged champion, Jerry wanting to retire this could be the last game they ever play together.
In his directional debut, Jeff Tomsic takes on the American comedy film, Tag. The film was written by Rob Mckittrick and Mark Steilen, based off a story published in the Wall Street Journal. The cast features Ed Helms, Jake Johnson, Hannibal Buress, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Isla Fisher and more.
Being based on a true story, I wish I had thought of this as a kid. A clean storyline with great dialogue and comedic timing by the cast. Super entertaining and hilarious. Have not laughed so hard since The Disaster Artist.
★★★★
