Today I was supposed to make a second post about the Twilight Saga..

That was too hard for me, so I decided to make it about another movie I watched yesterday.

At first I was just looking on Netflix for a movie to watch while I was making a cake (spoiler : I totally messed up). I don't really know why, but that movie was a attracting me, and I had to choose fast. I clicked on it and started to watch it while I was wasting time and money in that cake (No worries, I ate it.... I'm eating it, it takes time because I have to add something else because it has no taste.. I'm actually eating while writing this..)

I'm sorry, I'll try to focus...

What's the point of the movie ? You see a casting of huge and motley casting of grown up actors playing the same tag game since they're kids (If English is not your native language you may probably don't know what it is (that was my case before that movie). This is a game you play usually only when you're children and there is one person who needs to touch someone else, when someone else is touched that's his turn to touch another person)

What can I say about that. At first I was expecting a comedy movie with nothing else that jokes and funny moments. But that was strange to imagine that kind of movies with Jon Hamm in the cast. Even if I was wrong, I was not disappointed at all !

First of all that's really funny to see how that can turn to play tag when you have money, means of transport and more imagination. I will not tell you anything more about the story because I don't want you to be spoiled.

One thing we need to say is that the story is about a journalist writing her article about that Tag game. That's not coming from nowhere. The movie itself is inspired by that real article about a group of friends playing the same tag game since more than 20 years every years during the month of May.

More than just a tag game, the movie is showing what a group of friends that met in school when they were children can become decades later. This is working even more in the USA when you can stay in the same country but having a distance of 4500km between your and your friends while in country like France (where I live), the farthest you can be is 1000km if you are really on the opposite borders.

We can see friends that are just, once a year meeting their old friends. Even if they don't seem to be in contact the rest of the year, they are really at ease together. I think this totally worked for me because that's exactly what I'm living. I've met some friends in middle school 10 years ago and I'm not in the same school than them since 7 years now and I've even moved 100km away from them, we don't talk a lot, but when we are together it's exactly like we never separated and probably feel like we need to continue like when we were closer, the same kind of jokes and reflexion.

This is what I call is triple A casting. The ones that are great names are doing their job as we expect from them. Ed Helms is still the funny guy we are laughing of against our will, Jon Hamm is the one that thinks a little more but here also having that childish side, Jeremy Rennerreally like to be coming from the avengers and I'm really happy to see the actress not being those serious women only trying to make their husbands stop the game.

In my opinion we don't see enough Rashida Jones ! Leslie Bibb is really adding a new dimension to the movie and the game through her ambiguous position about the game and Isla Fisher is the only reason why I would love to see a second opus !

I really enjoyed that movie ! Even if the story is pretty simple it really made something great on me ! I'm sure after watching it anyone would love to make the same thing with friends ! They all seem really complementary and have really funny moment even when they are only talking.

After that the only thing I wanted to do was to see my friends and have fun with them. Obviously when you are alone in your kitchen at midnight watching your messed 'up cake in the oven trying to figure out if it's baked or not yet, it's difficult to see some friends.

If you like humoristic movies that can have low level jokes with a nicer moral you should totally give it a try ! I really don't know why I never heard of that movie before even if it's already 3 years old but I'll now keep it in mind for later !
