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

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

Tag's a movie that doesn't want to grow up.

Ok, it's buddy film; a feel good film. Well sort of. A lot of the stunts would be, "Don't try this at home" and are probably stunt men. I think they used the Sherlock Holmes movie slow mo fight effect too many times. It's fine if you don't want to think all that much. Based loosely on a 2013 Wall Street Journal story of a bunch more guys that did a similar thing.

Legit movie! I was hesitant because of the reviews, the name, and plot. I am glad I finally took a chance on it! How anyone could not give this a solid 5 star is beyond me! I laughed out loud on multiple occasions, and straight up loved this movie! I watched 2 times in 2 days, if that tells you anything! Comedy check, action check, good story check, feel good check!

"Tag" is an incredibly creative and entertaining movie that embraces its goofy and silly nature. At its core, it offers a unique perspective on friendship, showcasing how a simple game of tag can keep bonds alive, even if the wives and girlfriends don't quite understand it. The guys have maintained this tradition as a fun way to strengthen their camaraderie over the years. While it may not be a top-tier comedy, "Tag" delivers plenty of laughs and lighthearted moments. It's refreshing to see Jeremy Renner step outside his usual roles, like Hawkeye, and take on a more playful character. Even though he plays the "stinker" of the group, his character contributes to the hilarious dynamics that unfold. The banter among the friends is a highlight, adding depth to their relationships throughout the film. Although some of the humor may not land perfectly, it’s enjoyable enough to leave you with a smile. Overall, I genuinely believe "Tag" is a fun film that captures the spirit of friendship in a light and entertaining way.
