Tag Reviews

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, it might seem at first like a really stupid concept but I have to admit that I was actually rather pleasantly surprised by the end-result. Indeed, it pretty much followed my theory that grown-ups are basically kids who are taking themselves too seriously and it was just so refreshing to see a group of adults deciding to keep having fun together even while they were getting older. On top of that, the energy and vibe during some of the tagging scenes were pretty wild and entertaining. Still, I’m not so sure about the approach they chose. Indeed, the makers decided to focus on one specific tagging season. However, while it did make sense, as a result, they had to go seriously over-the-top and I think it would have been more effective and interesting to see the evolution of their game through the years, starting when they were kids until today. Another mistake they made was also to turn this game into some kind of team sport. Indeed, the way Jerry played the game was whow it was supposed to be played, at least, that’s what I can remember from when I used to play the damned thing as a kid. Finally, it is interesting that the best way these guys could find to maintain their relationship was to play a game during which you are not supposed to touch anyone. Anyway, to conclude, even though the whole thing seemed to be rather misguided, it turned out to be a fun comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
