Tag 2018 Written by Rob McKittrick and Mark Steilen, directed by Jeff Tomsic. The basic story is based on an article from the Wall Street Journal about a group of Spokane men who play a game of tag over the month of February. They've been doing it for 28 years.
Playing the gang of hide and seekers are Ed Helm, Jake Johnson, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm and Hannibal Buress.Annabelle Wallis plays the WSJ reporter who goes with the guys on what might be the last game. Isla Fisher plays Ed's wife, she's plenty of fun. Rashida Jones, Leslie Bibb, Nora Dunn and Brian Dennehy play other friends and family.
The guys are thinking of packing it in but they really want to get Jeremy, he's never been tagged, and he's the best at planning and avoiding. There's layer after layer of lies and deception. There's a good bit of physical comedy, it's no wonder Ed winds up in the hospital. I had a laugh and would watch the movie again some day. It was another Blu-ray/DVD combo set that came from the Dollar Tree for a smackaroonie.
Hot Dog 2013 Written and directed by Marc-André Lavoie. A French Canadian crime comedy that was more entertaining than I expected. The management team from a hot dog factory cross paths with a crime boss and a guy who found a human tooth in one of their dogs. It's kind of pokey but the story is solid and there are some fairly good jokes. Plenty of goofy characters and silly situations. It's another I found at Dollar tree for a buck, worth it. I'd watch it again.
