Alongside him were sophomore Roman Fuller and newcomer Cardell Williams. With returning starting quarterback Davis Brin missing the spring game, redshirt freshman Braylon Braxton was the first to take snaps. “We know we still have a lot of things to get done, a lot to accomplish, but I’m proud of the effort today and throughout spring as well as the progress that we’ve made.”
It was good to see them execute,” said Head Coach Philip Montgomery. Our numbers are down a little bit right now with a few guys being out injured, but to be able to come out, compete and see guys fly around was good.
I was happy to walk off the field healthy. If you are a fan of someone in the cast, I liked "Tag" just enough to recommend that you see it, but others can probably just wait to rent it.“It was a good day for us. That doesn't mean they won't have some fun watching it, but it means that the movie's concept could have been executed slightly better. Of course the movie is intended to be over-the-top, but even in far-fetched scenarios like this, there is a psychological limit to just how long the viewer can suspend their disbelief. Then again, it also portrays the game of tag as something that does have clear negative consequences-albeit to a fleeting and finite extent. It means to be a silly comedy that doesn't take itself seriously, and also wants to portray the friend group as tight knit. Also, the movie seems to (maybe unintentionally?) send a mixed message about the friends' game of tag. Much of the humor tends to come from the absurdity of the situations in the game rather than any written plot devices. The writing is fine and there are some good jokes, but plenty of them don't work. The first key flaw with the movie is the clear and present lack of conflict, since the characters agree to a book of rules for the game-so even though players can be afraid of being tagged, there's a pretty drastic lack of suspense or even a sense of thrill in these moments at times. That said, the film does have some very notable flaws which bring it down a notch compared to similar mainstream comedy films.
The plot is generally amusing, and the slapstick "action" sequences as players avoid being tagged are fairly creative and fun to watch. It's certainly enjoyable and entertaining to see such a talented cast just have fun with each other. The chemistry between the leading men is strong, and the female roles are also enjoyable to watch while adding narrative tissue to the film. I'm a fan of much of the ensemble, which was the primary reason I took interest in this comedy. The cast in this film is generally quite strong throughout. They play the game with absolutely no holds barred, and the best player in the group (who has never been tagged,) is about to marry. Few studio comedies have a premise as ludicrous at first glance than "Tag," which centers on a group of 40-something men playing the playground game of tag for a month every year.
