As we prepare to sell almost everything we own to go on our European adventure, this movie felt like it validated our goal of never wanting to grow old and stop playing. I've always tried to live my life by the idea of keeping what is best and get rid of the rest. I like the part of me that plays games and runs around with the kids. I hope I can be like these guys (and their awesome wives) and never let that go because "We don't stop playing because we get old... we get old because we stop playing!" YES YES YES!
Tag follows a group of friends that have been playing the same game of Tag since they were kids. Every May, the game starts again and whoever is 'It' at the end of the month is the ultimate loser for the year. And one of them has NEVER been tagged! So they decide that this will be their year to get him! They decide to work together and end his streak. This loosely follows an actual group of guys that do this. Yes, it's fictionalized for the movie. Like, none of them have ever not been tagged, but what a great story idea! And the movie delivers, too! Some of the lengths gone to are a bit crazy, but they weren't completely out of reality, which I was worried about.
If you still have some kid in you and enjoy letting it out to play once in a while, this movie is for you. It has humor and heart and is just a good time. It's a bit vulgar with some over-the-top drug humor and sexual innuendo, so it's not all kid stuff, but many won't mind that at all. I don't know that this is a 'must-see', but it's definitely my kind of movie.
