Tag

Judging from the trailers alone, Tag looked like your run-of-the-mill stupid buddy comedy, especially given the wacky premise: a group of best friends have been playing a never-ending game of tag for over 20 years, despite life changes and moves across the country. Despite that, I quickly came to regret my choice to judge the film on trailer alone, when it proved to be an unexpectedly emotional, heartwarming look at adult friendship. Don't get me wrong — there are still plenty of raunchy jokes and Jeremy Renner flipping through the air while punching Ed Helms dressed in old lady drag. But it's a lot savvier than it needed to be.
