TagChildren no longer play the game of tag anymore because of all the legal paperwork and lawyers involved.Fortunately, the friends in this comedy began their game long before over-parenting was thing.Every May a group of lifelong buddies (Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher, Jake Johnson, Hannibal Buress) play a form of Tag that involves disguises, endurance and air-travel. But when the one participant (Jeremy Renner) who has never been It announces his retirement, the crew makes it their mission to tag him. Along for the ride is a journalist (Annabelle Wallis).Although it's based on an actual article written about the abovementioned events, this madcap adaptation of the quirky ritual is embellished by its filmmakers who drain the editorial of its amiability and inflate it with obnoxious, humourless poetic licence. However, playing tag for years isn't as nerve-racking as seeking someone who has been hiding for two decades. Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

In a time when they don't make such great movies anymore, this one, although based on what 'mature' people would call a silly idea, is very well done. It makes you laugh and have fun, but it also delivers a message I couldn't agree more with: "we don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing" ... or something like that. You see negative reviews for this movie (bar the obviously paid 1 ratings of some idiots who didn't even watch it) exactly because many people grow old prematurely: they get obsessed with their jobs, with making money they can't enjoy until they get old and incapable of enjoying things anymore, with living for others and not themselves or giving up on their way of life for what others tell them it's 'appropriate'. The fact that this movie is loosely based on a real story makes it even more enjoyable and fun - apparently, there's still hope for people in the world and I can only guess how fun it would be to be one of them, hahaha!Back to the actual movie, it is filled with quality humour, but also some crude humour that prematurely old parents would tell you it's not 'safe' for kids - forget that nonsense, kids will love it too, it's not like they don't do it between themselves anyway. The movie strikes the right balance between delivering an accurate and positive message of enjoying life (despite the social conventions that tell you not to) and not taking itself too seriously, while also expertly and subtly poking fun at some of the nowadays social obsessions (e.g. the 'fake' hysteria, the media's reputation, and so on) for very brief moments during its playtime. It's also quite packed with 'action' and doesn't let you get bored for a second, all within the context of the competitive nature of the game.Normally, this would have been a solid 8, but I raised it to 9 as its message is perfectly suited for my taste (as I mentioned above) and to 10 because I couldn't believe that even for a comedy like this there are losers that can rate it 1 star ... without even seeing it. I'm all against censorship, but such interest driven 'reviews' will ruin the credibility of various sites (IMDB included) in the medium and long term. Maybe that's the actual interest in this, if you think about it...

Well, this is how adults must have fun instead of their boring everyday activities. Actors are great, story is entertaining. I was generally pleased with humor. Nice comedy.
