A group of childhood friends take advantage of the wedding of one of them to finally defeat them at Tag - a game they have been playing since being children.
Based on a real story, and beautiful and innocent in its own way, Tag is a comedy that starts strong but loses its charm somewhere along the way. The cause for that is not necessarily to blame, because the repetition of the same type of joke is a popular strategy that really works in the film industry, but to raise the bar one needs something more consistent. The movie works but could improve by being a little shorter.
A strange feeling comes from the presence of Jon Hamm who does not seem suitable for comedy - the fault sits probably with the permanent imprint of a character who will always be identified with him - Don Draper of Mad Men.
