Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
ksf-2 It's not always a good thing when someone writes and directs a film-- but in this case, it worked out Great! A story of two men, Rag and Tag, starting as friends while still little boys, who meet up again, all-grown up, or trying to be. It seems to take place in London. One of the two,Tag, now has a girlfriend Olivia, but with the tension between them, we can tell its probably not a good match. Rag makes his feelings for Tag very clear, but Tag isn't as sure. We walk around town seeing all the family and friends again, then they decide to fly off to nigeria, ostensibly to visit relatives. But Tag's friends have other reasons for wanting to meet up. Back to London. Good times. Bad times. It's a roller coaster ride. Good soundtrack. My only complaint was a common one for indie films -- the sound goes up and down. This was the first project for director Adaora Nwandu, and it's a job well done. This also seems to be the only film done by the two guys playing Rag and Tag. Wonder why.
Gordon-11 This film is about two childhood friends who fight against the odds to be together."Rag Tag" is a low budget film, so the visuals and sets are not as impressive as the blockbusters. Hence, it needs a good plot to captivate viewers. "Rag Tag" tells a touching story of undying love between two childhood friends. Even though they face societal pressure, criminal temptation, jealousy and non-acceptance, their love still manages to blossom into something beautiful. It is a beautiful story. The only problem I have with it is that it is a little too slow paced. If it was a little faster paced, it would have been an even more captivating film.
arielnow W Sharpe Director of New Media, Public Broadcasting Atlanta – 30th July 2007 "I recently saw the film Rag Tag during the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta. I thought it was a bold, daring, provocative film. I was surprised at the reaction of some of the viewers of the film and their objection to the subject matter.I think that the Arts Festival is exactly the place to exhibit such works. It is a place for artists to exhibit their craft and enlighten to public through their art. Please do not censor future content. I have learnt many things through the films presented at the Arts Festival and it would be a shame if the narrow minded views of a few stifled lifelong learning. The film has been a topic of discussion among the friends I brought with me to screen the film and those who were not in attendance. I'd like to know if the film is in release on DVD or will be screened at any other festivals around the country." C Anderson - 8th and 10th August, 2007 "I just saw Rag Tag at the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. It was Great. I felt that the audience at the showing I attended really responded positively to the film (and it was a full house)…. The accents were certainly present, but they were by no means a hindrance. I am probably more challenged by a strong southern accent from the USA - and that's in my own country!
Lloyd Bowman I hate to write a bad review about what is apparently a genuine and authentic attempt to make a film. Some films are just so patently awful that skewering them is almost cathartic. This is not the case here. Rag Tag is about two friends, Rag and Tag, who come from different backgrounds, are separated as children and reunited as adults.While it has a potentially interesting story and there are a few laughs and even a few sweet moments, these few and far between assets are lost amidst poor directing, filming, editing, acting and (at least in the showing I saw) bad sound. I went to this film on this site's high rating (an amazing 7.7, as of this writing), but it definitely wasn't worth my $10. Save your money and give it a pass.3/10.
