| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIt’s a ridiculously raunchy and very, very sweet comedy about staying connected to the most important people in your life. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Cain Noble-Davies...a film that is not only funny but rather exciting in its workings... |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereWedding Crashers meets The Hangover. But in a bad way. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAfter a semi-active opening half, "Tag" suddenly comes to a stop, wrongly pursuing a case of the feel-goods when it really should stick with madcap tag matches. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA frantic, vulgar, unfunny action farce that does a disservice to the actual guys who inspired it. |
| The Only CriticNate AdamsTag manages to pack an emotional resonance, without tethering much into 'bro' territory. |
| Fresh FictionCourtney HowardTag balances friendship, fidelity and frivolity in the most awesome, outrageous, action-packed bromance of the year. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiIt’s a well-intentioned comedy with funny performances and a handful of great humorous set pieces. If it feels as though it’s three or four different movies fighting each other for dominance, then at least those movies are all, in their own separate ways, relatively entertaining and amusing. |
| National ReviewKyle SmithFisher is completely wrong for her role, Hamm isn't a natural comic, and Johnson is unable to do anything with his trite, woefully underwritten stoner character. But worse than any of these is Jeremy Renner. |
| GuardianAmy NicholsonSurprisingly, there’s emotional resonance in this slapstick flick about friends who are terrified to hug. Add that to the solid chemistry between the leads, and Tag is a fine callback to the sprawling ensemble comedies of the 1980s, back when the real-life tag team graduated high school. It’s a solid summer film that will melt away from memory by fall. |
