For one month every year, five highly competitive friends hit the ground running in a no-holds-barred game of tag they've been playing since the first grade-risking their necks, their jobs and their relationships to take each other down with the battle cry: “You're It!”

This year, the game coincides with the wedding of their only undefeated player, which should finally make him an easy target. But he knows they're coming – and he's ready. Based on a true story, the New Line Cinema comedy “Tag” shows how far some guys will go to be the last man standing.

Critics Reviews for Tag:

• “Director Jeff Tomsic takes a broadly comic approach to the material that doesn't always serve it well, but the real-life story is captivating.” – J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
• “Based on a true story about fortysomething manchildren still playing tag, this bro-bonding comedy is all over the place, but fueled by a terrific cast and a partytime atmosphere that might be just what you're looking for on a hot summer night.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
• “Mostly, Tag delights in the utter shamelessness of the game writ large, which finds Hoagie and his buddies willing to ambush an AA meeting or waterboard a gym flunky to get some information.” – Scott Tobias, NPR
• “For all its repetitiveness and frantic silliness-the impurity of its absurdity-"Tag” ends up being good fun, with an unexpectedly sweet spirit that stays with you." – Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
