The film stands out from other contemporary comedies by focusing not on just scenes of comedy, but also a few creative action sequences as the groups try to tag each other, with many focusing on Jerry’s ability to avoid being tagged. These friends are joined by characters such as Rebecca (Annabelle Wallis), a Wall Street Journalist chronicling the story, Anna (Isla Fisher), Hoagie’s over-competitive wife, and Susan (Leslie Bibb), Jerry’s fiance who is dragged along in his attempts to remain untagged in his last season. The roster of friends also includes Bob (Jon Hamm), an arrogant head of an insurance company, “Chilli” (Jake Johnson), a slacker/stoner who lives with his father, and Sable (Hannibal Buress), who seems to be their eccentric friend dragged along for the ride. ![]() The story focuses on Hogan or “Hoagie” (Ed Helms), the self proclaimed “soul of the game” as he attempts to gather up his friends with the news that this year their friend Jerry (Jeremy Renner) intends to quit after remaining untagged for thirty years. ![]() After being profiled by the Wall Street Journal in 2013, the group sold the film rights to their story, and five years later here we are. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing.” This is the driving quote behind 2018’s “Tag,” a film about five friends who have been a thirty year long game of tag, based on the true story of ten individuals who are still engaged in a game to this day.
