I am wtfing so hard at the low RT score this movie has because I really enjoyed it. I don't know what cynical tools are on the rt website but anyone who doesn't find the movie really fun, silly and cute is crazy.

Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "neither bad nor good, but rather, despite its out-there story, almost numbingly ordinary: an easy, breezy action-com that's sometimes amusing but rarely funny, competent rather than inspired."

Yeah this guy has it right

Dang. Well the movie really resonated with me. The whole lifelong friends thing, the growing up and moving apart but still having a closeness, and then there's the hilarious action comedy of it all, leaning into the ridiculousness of the premise just cracks me up every time.

Then there's the excellent cast. I'm so glad the initial concept with Will Ferrel and Jack Black and Tracy Morgan didn't exist, though I wouldn't mind jack or tracy in the final version, it's just will ferrel that I don't want. But having Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner in one movie was great, then you add Jake Johnson as well, plus isla fisher... heck, I don't even mind ed helms in this movie.

I still love the Hannibal Buress wasn't actually in "Tag" meme:

Are we sure Hannibal Buress was actually in "Tag"?

I watched "Tag". I liked it a lot. A couple of my friends recently told me their conspiracy theory that Hannibal Buress wasn't actually in "Tag". They sold me.
Here's the gist. They are completely convinced that the entire movie had been shot without Hannibal Buress. Their guess is that early studio reactions and test audience screenings were poor, because of lack of diversity and not enough humor - so they hired Hannibal Buress and shoehorned him into the movie after the fact using a mixture of greenscreen, standalone reaction shots, and a few reshoots featuring the entire cast.
In watching the movie, they couldn't help but notice that Hannibal often isn't in the mix with the rest of the cast or is off to the side in some shots almost like he's been digitally added. The movie frequently cuts away to him to give off-kilter one-liners seemingly tagged on after the fact. It almost seems like his character serves no real purpose to the plot as it mostly revolves around Jeremy Renner, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms and Jon Hamm.
Granted, Hannibal is probably the best part of the movie so if this mischief actually took place, it was worth it.
I've reached out to Hannibal for comment on Twitter and thus far have received no response.
TL;DR: Hannibal Buress isn't actually in "Tag"

Holy crap. As I was rewatching the movie that was literally what I thought when they showed his first scene at the therapist. I was like "wait, that guy was in the movie?"

I completely forgot about him because yeah, when I remember the movie I only think of Jon Hamm, Jeremey Renner, Jake Johnson and Ed Helms, along with the girls like the reporter and isla fisher.

But to be fair I also momentarily forgot Rashida Jones plays a love interest so. That was a pleasant surprise to see her again.

I also loved that movie. I didn't realize it has a bad reputation. Damn

Tag is terrible compared to Game Night which came out around the same time.

They're both good. Game Night is better but Bateman has been typecast as the straight man and he's just doing more of that in GN. Movie is carried by the starry eyed friend that loves fight clubs.

Oh and it unabashedly does the guy ritchie sherlock holmes thing of narrating and giving a play by play of the fight scene in slow mo and then sped up. Just ridiculously hilarious

I liked Tag too. Renner Sherlocking his way out of being tagged was a really well done bit.

Although apparently he actually broke his wrist doing one of the stunts. Dude seems to go above and beyond sometimes.

It looks fun. Wonder why people didn't like it.
