Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Tag (2018)

Five friends have been playing the same game of tag since they were kids -- but now that they're adults, they confine the fun to one month every year. When the "never been tagged" Jerry is scheduled to be married in that month, the other four see their chance to finally lay hands on him.

My expectations were low, so this turned out to be a really fun surprise. Though ridiculous, it's also extremely funny -- even more so when I found out that this story is based on a real group of guys and that some of the elaborate situations in the film came from life. I could've done without Jerry's almost mythical abilities to avoid having hands touch him, but that surrealism didn't detract much.
