Much like the game at the heart of this movie, Tag is simple and uncomplicated fun.
It's about a group of childhood pals who have kept their friendship strong through adulthood via their annual game of highly competitive tiggy. This year, however, a permanent end to their game looms as one of the gang prepares to walk down the aisle.
The movie follows the gang in their increasingly desperate efforts to tag "the untaggable" Jerry, the one player who has never, ever, been It, before time runs out for good.
Aside from the easy comedic chemistry between its stars, Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Jake Johnson and Hannibal Buress, what makes Tag so much fun are its many full-on action set pieces.
It's strangely pleasing to see so much spectacle and stunt work attached to something as stupid as a game of tiggy. There's daredevil foot chases, high-speed golf cart duels, a bone-crunching fight in a mall, a survival horror-esque elimination sequence... the list goes on.
