TAG

TAG:  With Ed Helms, Jeremy Renner and Joe Hamm on hand to lead this testosterone laden foray into comedy, you would think it would work.  But it doesn't.  Well, maybe a little bit.  Too many others of this ilk have shown far brighter and far funnier ("The Hangover" comes to mind.) And while the premise is based on a true story of a gang of friends who meet every year to play tag, I really didn't care much for them or this script. It does have some gags along the way (a great many involving male genitalia and even some tasteless banter involving a miscarriage ).  The supporting cast (Jake Johnson and Hannibal Buress among others) tries to help as best it can.  But the fault is not in the stars but in the script.  I'd skip this one if I had it all to do over.
