    • Trivia
      The film was based on the true events of the lives of former high school classmates (Bill Akers, Patrick Schultheis, Sean Raftis and Mike Konesky). As teenagers during the 1980s, they would entertain themselves by playing the schoolyard game during breaks at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Washington.
    • Goofs
      In the church scene Callahan is tagged by Hoagie and then later tagged Hoagie again even though there is a no tag back rule. After that Hoagie was "it" until he tagged Jerry.

      Callahan: I don't know how to do that.

      Randy: I don't have a watch.

    Never been tagged
    Tag is based on a true story.

    When a Wall Street Journal reporter interviews businessman Bob Callahan (Jon Hamm) he is interrupted by Hoagie Malloy (Ed Helms) who was in disguise as the office cleaner, all so he can tag his buddy Callahan.

    Callahan tells the journalist that his group of friends have played the same game of tag since childhood in the month of May. It is what keeps their friendship together.

    The one person they have not managed to get in all these years is Jerry Pierce (Jeremy Renner) who no one has tagged in 30 years.

    Hoagie finds out that Jerry is getting married and plans to crash his wedding preparations in order to finally tag him. The journalist tags along as this is the more interesting story.

    This is a concept film that cannot always sustain its aims. It is good but uneven slapstick fun. It does not always make sense but the cast seem to be enjoying themselves with the madcap fun.
