Critics Consensus

For audiences seeking a dose of high-concept yet undemanding action comedy, Tag might be close enough to it.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

A sweet central premise and a charismatic cast curdle into repetitious overkill and "gay panic" gags.

Rated: 2/5

Adam White

Daily Telegraph (UK)

It's all a bit more sad than what you'd expect from a film with an extended set piece discussing the horrors of punches to the butt. It's a feeling that is unfortunately replicated in the film's cast.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Despite some funny antics along the way, the viewer feels like an outsider looking in at people who are clearly having more fun than we are watching them.

Rated: 2/4

This movie is great. It’s awesome and hilarious. I don’t know why it has a score less than 80.

Holy s***, this was funny as all hell. Every single thing they did was so over the damn top. And Jeremy Renner had me in tears with the parkour. Would seriously recommend this, still can't believe this was based on a true story.

The actors are very comitted to the plot and there are some laughs along the way. However, due to the thinness of the plot and its premise, it can't help but feel overlong in its 100 minutes runtime.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Look, its a simple buddy comedy about a 30 year game of tag between best friends. Maybe its a bit hard to believe in a world of cynical and isolated people who never learned to play a game that wasn't on a computer or a sport but it is loosely based on a real group of friend who continuously play tag. Comically and dramatically it exaggerates the details but the inspiration and jovial spirit is real. Enjoyable and rewatchable. Its not high brow but its fun and filled with heart. I can't say if its your cup of tea but its at least worth a watch. Personally I might consider ranking this film higher but I realize some will be too jaded for a buddy comedy with dude jokes and bro hugs.
