Tag (2018)

This is a movie and grown men who one month a year drop everything and resume the game that they played as children.  So it is highly unrealistic (when was the last time you had an entire month off of work?), but there you have it (and in fact, this is based on a true story). 
The game began when they were nine years old. Thirty-five years later, it’s still going strong as five lifelong friends dedicate one month each year to playing  tag,  the old grade-school classic most kids leave on the schoolyard — right around the time they stop believing that girls have “cooties.” If that sounds like the setup for the ultimate man-child comedy, you wouldn’t be far from the mark, although  the casting of Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner, who have credible dramatic role histories, is inspired. And yet, nestled amid all the runaway immaturity of this loosely reality-based laugher, “Tag” delivers the compelling case that anything that manages to keep a bunch of childhood buddies in contact over the course of more than three decades can’t be all bad.
