![]() It has its funny and tender moments but nothing that will stick with viewers for long. Even a runtime of an hour and 40 minutes felt too long. Despite the movie's frenetic action and breezy pacing, it drags. Hannibal Buress does most of the heavy lifting in that department. The film also understands when to deliver a dose of comic relief as things become too intense. Subtlety isn't exactly this movie's strong suit. The game keeps us together." The line is a bit too blunt, but it's understandable. ![]() A character literally utters the words, "It's not just about playing tag. Unfortunately, they deliver this message in a tactless way. In another indication of the film's self-awareness, the filmmakers make clear that the game is more than a game. Each chase scene makes the taggers appear both heroic and appropriately ridiculous. It never passes up an opportunity to poke fun at itself. Taking this too seriously could have been disastrous, but fortunately the film is self-aware. The taggers are intense, even diabolical. ![]() This movie is jampacked with action, much of it intentionally over-the-top. Actually, his character in this movie is more impressive than his Hawkeye character in Avengers. Renner's escape sequences truly make him look like a superhero. When approached, he unveils his heightened senses and powers of observation via internal monologues that the film captures surprisingly well. Of course, Jerry hasn't remained untagged all these years for no reason. To get things started, Hoagie sets off on one of the best "getting the gang together" movie sequences I've seen in several years. Hoagie (Ed Helms) informs the guys that Jerry is retiring from the game, so this must be the year that they finally tag him. ![]() Each month of May the game resumes and the taggers take great lengths to avoid being "it." Despite the best efforts of the other four, Jerry (Jeremy Renner) has never been tagged. Five male friends have been playing the same game of tag for over 30 years, even as they have each moved on to different cities and their adult lives. Well, as long as you're okay with a movie that possesses zero lasting impact, little substance, and moral, umm, compromises. But anyway that’s why people are drawn to this meme because it affirms their personalities.If you seek a fun and funny summer movie, look no further than Tag. Maybe if we didn’t have anything to base our personalities on, if there was nothing to bounce off of, we wouldn’t be anyone, dude. We do not always the same in certain scenarios, but ultimately we’re still the same person. Humans are nothing if not everything, you feel me? Our individual personalities are made up of all our various personalities and social media accounts. Of course, people can identify with more than one character presented, partially or entirely. Sometimes they need the irreverent and highly specific character traits identified by some nerd online so they can better know themselves. People can feel more secure in themselves when given proper vocabulary to express their feelings. Then again, who knows you better than yourself, right? Of course, there is the concept of the outside observer, holding an objective alternative to your own highly subjective sense of self. In this case, you aren’t just spreading content and saying that you like something you are spreading the fact that this is you. Your blog, comprised of all the posts you’ve made and/or shared, reflects your brand, a certain online version of yourself. Popularly found on Tumblr, you as a user reblog the stuff you see on your dashboard. I like it because it forces you to interact with the content. Analysis/uhhh other things: This meme is always fun because it gives the reader the opportunity to escape into a simpler identity, even if for but a passing moment.
