Since childhood, 5 long-time buddies (including Jon Hamm, Ed Helms & Hannibal Buress) play the titular game for one month every year. One of them (Jeremy Renner) is getting married, so they’re out to ruin his lifetime record of never being “it.” This is basically an excuse for lots of running around and broad physical gags. The characters all have distinct, but not especially wacky personalities (with Isla Fisher providing the most fun). Some of their comments are humorous, but nothing is especially hilarious. It’s energetic and amusing, but not a riot of laughter. NOTE: See the gang that inspired this film at the end and hear the current cast sing a song during the credits (with a minor punch line).
