Simply Perfect

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I created an account on here specifically to review this movie. I had been looking forward to seeing this because I love Jon Hamm and of course who doesn't like Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)!! I thought it was funny, but I really couldn't stand Leslie Bibb's character. I'm seriously disappointed that these actors and directors/producers and everyone involved would approve joking about a miscarriage. I have had to deal with all of the emotions of those moments of terror myself, plus support my sister through 3 heartbreaking times. With all of the stigma and judgment and nonsense that insensitive people can pile on, heck why not dump on the jokes too?! * that's sarcasm for the daft people* I would have really liked this movie, but I'm seriously pissed that so many people thought this was okay.

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...

If you want an easy and funny film to watch, then this is it. Following the story of a group of friends who never wanted to stop 'playing' and manage to keep a game of TAG going for 30 years. It's a great story on an amazing bond of friends throughout their lives.The plot is really good. The Jeremey Renners character is quite funny how he breaks down his 'detective' theories and how to escape. The film, in my opinion, delivered. I would recommend it. Watch with family and friends ... I'm sure at the end you will try and figure out how to implement this with your group of friends and family.

A comedy about grown men still acting like little boys isn't exactly the most novel or progressive concept. But it's been a while since that wheezy old trope has been executed as perfectly as it is in Tag - my frontrunner for the funniest movie of the year so far.Based on a true story (as hard as it might be to believe), this hilarious and heartwarming tale revolves around a group of childhood best friends who refuse to let the responsibilities and disappointments of adulthood kill off their inner 9-year-olds. Every year, for one month, these five middle-aged merry pranksters (Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Jake Johnson, and Hannibal Buress) play tag - that classic "You're it!" playground pastime whose rules couldn't be more simple. Of course, they've added their own arcane bylaws and codicils to the game over the years, including tagging players at the most inopportune times in the most unexpected places, such as the hospital delivery room during the births of their children and the funerals of their parents. It's a cross-country full-contact blood sport. To them, tag has become more than just a stupid game. It's a lifeline to a more innocent, carefree time.When we first meet them, the game has been going on for 30 years. And in all that time, Renner's Jerry has never been "it," eluding his pals like a cross between James Bond, Neo from The Matrix, and the Flash. But his ninja-like invincibility has also kept him at a bit of a remove from the others. And now, he's got two big announcements: First, he's getting married. And second, he wants to retire from the game and go out on top. Not so fast. What could be a more target-rich environment to finally tag Jerry than Jerry's wedding?Helms, playing the same sort of lovable doofus he portrayed in the Hangover movies, takes the game most seriously. And his wife (a fizzy, manic Isla Fisher) is just as into it. She's like his overly enthusiastic wingman. Hamm, a corporate wheeler-dealer who's being interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, drops everything to join the mission, bringing the reporter (Annabelle Wallis) with him to chronicle what she knows is an unbelievable story (the real-life game was revealed in the paper in 2013). New Girl's Johnson is the resident slacker-stoner man-child, but he's especially charming in his cluelessness. And Buress spices up even the most absurd situations with his impeccably dry, deadpan delivery. These characters and these actors couldn't be less alike, but their chemistry together is perfection.It's easy to imagine the thousand ways that a movie like Tag could've curdled and gone sour. Or worse, felt toxically dude-ish. But director Jeff Tomsic (TV's The Detour) and writers Rob McKittrick and Mark Steilen never make the film feel like a boys' club in the way that The League or the Grown Ups movies could sometimes be. These guys are pathetic, to be sure. But also totally winning. The early-'90s music cues (A Tribe Called Quest, the Beastie Boys, the Pixies) add an infectious extra layer of nostalgia.When asked by everyone they meet why they do this - why they keep playing this kids' game after all these years - the guys keep repeating, "We don't stop playing because we get old; we get old because we stop playing." You get the sense they've said this mantra of an excuse so many times that they know how corny and hollow it sounds. But the magic of Tag is that it winds up being absolutely true. It's a ridiculously raunchy and very, very sweet comedy about staying connected to the most important people in your life. The people who know everything about you and what makes you tick - even the things you'd rather they didn't. It's about being vulnerable and accepted unconditionally. This silly game about getting away from one another, deep down, is about staying close and getting closer.
