2. There's One Unforgettably Dark Joke

Tag Jeremy Renner Leslie Bibb

There's one especially memorable joke half-way through this movie that's destined to divide audiences.

The gag, involving a miscarriage, will simply be too "real" and dark for some viewers, while others will appreciate the movie's desire to push the envelope and not rest on its laurels.

Wherever you land on the scene, it certainly sticks in the mind, and for such a potentially easy, simple studio comedy to take such a grim left-turn is probably something to be admired.

If you're sensitive to this sort of subject matter than obviously Tag isn't something you should inflict upon yourself, but if you've got the stomach for gallows humour, the protracted gag here should go down a treat.
