I dunno why people are bashing this flick. It's full of Farrelly Brother humor that is on-par with their best films. The premise allows all the characters to run the table. It's full of real-life comparisons that are hilarious as well as some exaggerations that hit the bulls- eye. It's not "On The Waterfront", but it wasn't intended to be. I guess I am biased because I've never watched a "bad" Farrelly Brothers movie. Sudekis and Wilson are awesome!

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!

Simply dreadful 2011 film with Owen Wilson and his pal given a hall pass by their wives. This simply means that for one week, they can act as single guys and cavort with whomever they choose to do so.The movie then goes into their various experiences during the week. The wives also go into hall pass mode so that both the men and women are cheating on one another.The situations are ridiculous just like the film. There is a chase by the police, a guy jumping all over their car with a gun whose mother, played by Joy Behar, is the one delight of the film.After seeing this wreck, they would have been better off if they never returned from their honeymoon.
