Donald Clarke Irish Times There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality. Rated: 2/5 Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) A sweet central premise and a charismatic cast curdle into repetitious overkill and "gay panic" gags. Rated: 2/5 Jun 29, 2018 Full Review 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 Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film Tag's a movie that doesn't want to grow up. Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review A solid source of laughs in a summer that sorely needs them. Rated: B+ Aug 21, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Celeste H So me & 2 other sleep deprived girls on vacation ate hotel room service while watching this and could not stop laughing !!! Don’t take yourself so serious critics. This is a great movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Joona S Not funny and just waste of time. Watch something else. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Alexander T This movie is great. It’s awesome and hilarious. I don’t know why it has a score less than 80. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Yuri B 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Vitor O 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 03/18/25 Full Review Matthew T 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
