When best buds Rick and Fred begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages, they grant the guys a 'hall pass'—one week of freedom to do whatever they want. At first, it seems like a dream come true, but they quickly discover that their expectations of the single life—and themselves—are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Hall Pass is first and foremost meant to be a comedy, and that is exactly where it fails. With little to no moments of true genuinely funny moments, it attempts to provide comedic commentary on the married lifestyle and accepted adultery. It however loses itself in this message by getting lost with who in fact wants the pass, the real motif behind it, and in the end, glosses over Applegate's terrible character. The movie has few redeemable features, glossing over unfunny crude moments, blending a cliché trope of characters, and an embarrassment for the key actors. Hall Pass can be easily passed over for anything better.

This's my first review here so you can guess how much I hated this movie to write one! This movie starts in a good way, few laughs, smooth jokes but oh boy, it goes down south after just about the first 30 minutes. Cheesy acting, sloppy screen writing, poor characters development and silly silly story. It feels really bad when a movie, like this one, had the potentials to be a decent film but they just screw everything up! And by the way, someone should pay Owen Wilson to STOP ACTING.I have one and only one advice for you about this movie.. DON'T WATCH IT!

The Farrelly brothers have some serious hits under their belt: Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal and Stuck on You. They took somewhat of a writing break between Heartbreak Kid and this movie, Hall Pass. I think they got rusty.There was the typical Farrelly humor with strong and explicit sexual references but very little humor beyond that. I don't know if the movie was poorly written, poorly executed or just a bad idea altogether but I did not like it.The cast were A listers: Owen Wilson, Christina Applegate and the up and coming Jason Sudeikis, yet there was no synergy between them. Furthermore, I think Owen Wilson was outside of his element. I don't think Owen Wilson has much range as and actor. Some roles fit him and others don't; this role didn't fit him. I first saw Jason Sudeikis in Horrible Bosses and I was impressed. I don't think he did a bad job in this movie, but I stopped it during the Jason Sudeikis self-pleasuring scene. The movie was already teetering on mediocrity before that and that scene did it for me.The Farrelly brothers are superb writers and I'm sure they'll bounce back, but this was a swing and a miss. Dumb and Dumber To is coming out soon, I really hope they put their all into it to make it as classic as the first.

The movie is a raunchy comedy. With barrels of crude humor by the Farells, the movie is restricted for kids (Rated R). I didn't have high expectations before seeing the movie but this was above my expectations. The screenplay was mediocre, still quite entertaining with laughs. Owen Wilson was acceptable with his performance, while Sudekis was hilariously funny in number of scenes. The whole cheating scenario would certainly disturb some viewers but the story/theme was meant to be that way. Even though the movie did not carry class and far from reality, it is quite entertaining for the viewers to enjoy.So, give a "Hall Pass" to serious movies and do watch the movie (if you can appreciate raunchy ones) with an open mind.
