    Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) broke the superhero rules and is suffering the consequence. He is under house arrest because he tried to help out Captain America.

    Tag-Kids’ Movie Review

    “Tag…you’re it.” Tag is a popular American game that kids typically play at recess or with their neighborhood friends. Adults sometimes play as well.  Tag is a true story about five childhood friends, now in their forty’s, who declare May as their month to play tag. They love the game, but more importantly they’ve maintained their friendships as they’ve played for thirty years. However, one of the guys, Jerry, has never been caught which really irritates the other four. So they make it their goal to tag Jerry at his wedding. This story is so unbelievable that when a reporter hears about these guys she follows them and publishes the story in the Wall Street Journal. Now we’re it!!!
