Looks great.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't actually believe that this is true???!!!!!!

In 2013, The Wall Street Journal ran a story about a man named Brian Dennehy and his nine friends who loved to play tag on the campus of their high school. One of his friends, Joe Tombari, was almost "it" for life when he failed to tag someone on his last day of high school in 1982. For a while, that was indeed the end of the game for the group as they went their separate ways in life, but a reunion roughly eight years later led to the game starting up once more — this time with a contract.

Patrick Schultheis, who was a first-year lawyer at the time, drafted the Tag Participation Agreement. The primary rule is that each year the game runs for the entire month of February, and whoever is "it" at the end of the month holds the title until the following year. There are no geographic restrictions to the game, which leads to intricate plans being plotted and lots of frequent-flyer miles being used.

Sean Raftis once flew all the way to Seattle in order to tag Tombari by curling up in the trunk of a car and springing out at him unexpectedly. His plan worked — but his friend's wife ended up being a casualty when she tripped off of the sidewalk from the fright. "My wife was so startled she fell and injured her knee, but she wasn't angry; she was pleased to see Sean," Tombari told The Guardian. "All our partners are good-natured about the game — they even get involved in the sting operations."​

And even worse:

One scene in the trailer that moviegoers may suspect is fabricated is very much based on real life. Yes, one of the guys tagged someone at their father's funeral, and according to Tombari, it remains one of the game's most memorable moments. He explained to The Guardian, "Perhaps one of the most unexpected tags was during Mike's father's funeral. During the service, he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to find Joe mouthing, 'You're it.' Afterwards, he said his father would have approved, because he found our game hilarious."​

WOW!!!
And that trailer looked SO fun!
