The new comedy from the Farrelly brothers (There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Me, Myself & Irene).
Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis from TV's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are best buds, both been married for many years. But when signs of restlessness appear at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalising their individual marriages: they grant them a 'hall pass'. At first, it sounds like a dream come true. But it isn’t long before Rick and Fred discover their horndog expectations of the single life are out of sync with reality.

"While the stabs at grown-up insight miss their targets, picture still packs more pure comedic punch than the Farrellys' last few offerings."
Variety"Whatever the case, it's dispiriting that the draggiest, soppiest scenes in Hall Pass, as well as the most disgusting gag, involve women."
The New York Times"The plot of the movie is meh."
Roger Ebert"After scoring big in 1998 with "Mary" - the zipper issue, the "hair gel" mix-up, the roving troubadours - their (Farrelly brothers) raw inventive edge has never been quite as sharp. Hall Pass, starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, continues that creative slide into everyday crude."
Los Angeles Times"The slapstick and action comedy interludes are haphazardly executed at best, and matters aren't helped by the film's incredibly ugly look."
Hollywood Reporter"Not up there with the Farrelly brothers' classics, but still a worthwhile, farcical comedy."
