Tag is a movie I haven’t thought about in several years.

So, I was rather surprised to see the movie resurface this week on Prime Video.

(L-R) Jon Hamm as Bob Callahan, Ed Helms as Hogan "Hoagie" Malloy and Jake Johnson as Randy "Chilli" Cilliano in "Tag"

As of writing (Jan. 15), the comedy has rocketed straight to the No.

2 spot behind only the Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt action-blockbuster The Fall Guy.

Thats an impressive achievement for a movie that didnt exactly set the box office ablaze back in 2018.

What is Tag about?

What could go wrong?

Should you stream Tag on Prime Video?

(L-R) Jeremy Renner as Jerry Pierce and Jon Hamm as Bob Callahan in “Tag”

When it comes to answering the above question, my response is a resounding maybe…

Tags biggest strength is its seriously talented cast.

It features Ed Helms, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Jon Hamm, and Jeremy Renner.

The cast of “Tag” walking down a road

The cast is stacked, and most importantly, there are plenty of comedy chops among the group.

However, there is a lingering sense that Tag could have been so much more.

The overall concept feels very original, and such a star-studded cast deserves a better script.

Its not helped by the repetitive storyline that clearly signposts its end destination from the very start.

Plus, some of the gags havent aged especially gracefully.

The movie was no critical darling upon release.
