Owen Wilson stars as a married man whose spouse (Jenna Fischer) grants him the right -- for just one week -- to pursue as many extramarital affairs as he can. His best buddy (Jason Sudeikis) receives an identical "hall pass" from his wife, and off the guys go. The hubbies soon discover, however, that picking up girls isn't as easy as they recall, while their better halves embark on their own erotic adventures.

Some parts funny, some parts not so much. I liked the last line, I liked the bit in the safe house. Not so bad.

Fun movie to watch with a bunch of friends. Pretty funny at times but a bit too predictable and safe to be remarkable. Features a huge black penis and a small white one, which has to be the most fucked out comedy bit in movies today, thanks Judd Apatow. Richard Jenkins and Stephen Merchant are pretty awesome in this and the film needed more of them. Also, Nicky Whelan's titties were the bomb

It starts slow and ends in the most cliched way possible, but the middle is pretty damn funny. Sudeikis and Wilson work pretty well with each other, but every time it leaves them the film really suffers.

I watched it with intention to give here a rant about how much this and most of modern Hollywood comedies suck, but in the end I liked it. Don't get me wrong it's not brilliant, original or anything, it has usual cliches of the genre, but somehow I really enjoyed it. Nothing I'd rewatch, but it's certainly funny and entertaining first time you see it. One thing I totally hated - why are all the cute women here (Nicky Whelan, Jenna Fischer) so fucking tanned? Bleh.

It's the strongest Farrelly Brothers comedy in a while, but it's still a little hollow. The comedy is risque, but it stays too lighthearted and the resolution is a little too neat for the film to still make sense. Jason Sudeikis & Owen Wilson are both good, it's particularly nice to see Wilson get back to a darker comedy place as opposed to the safe, sappy films he's been doing lately.

This was painful to watch, and not in a funny way. The worst aspect of the film by far is the stark contrast between the bulk of the film, which feels as neutered as a prime time sitcom, and the over the top misfires at "gross out" comedy. The movie is a string of boring PG quips and boring scenarios punctuated by random acts of explosive diarrhea, to give an example. It worked in Bridesmaids because they took it to the point of absurdity, this one just hands it to you and calls it a day.

One of the biggest shocks for me at the end of 'Hall Pass' was that the Farrelly Brothers directed it and I still liked it. I was impressed that an effort was made to tell the story from both sides of the situation. The women get a true point-of-view, which is rare in raunchy male-driven comedies. It might be due to low expectations that I enjoyed 'Hall Pass' as much as I did, but I found myself laughing often. I'll likely never watch it again, but I enjoyed it this time, which is rare enough.

This movie is following a plot trend as of late by making the guys look totally stupid and useless on their own and showing that women will always outsmart the men and get what they want. That aside, this movie did have some funny parts especially with Richard Jenkins' cameo as the suave old man who can pick up any lady in a bar with his C.S.I.-like perception. Otherwise I guess the moral is guys with a free pass will fail while the girls will succeed in picking up new men without even trying.

I don't think this was that bad. It had a bit of charm and likable elements to it. It wasn't overly funny and sometimes it didn't land at all. But I was entertained by other elements, Wilson and Sudeikis are great, and they do display a great deal of chemistry. I think you can find some pretty good underlying messages, even if they're a bit cheesy and generic, but I bought into a bit of it. Overall, it's disposable, but I don't regret my viewing.

Remarkably bland, at least until a climactic swing for the over-the-top and absurd that just comes off as desperate. Almost feels like a bad comedy from the 90s. JB Smoove is wasted.

Remember when the Farrelly Brothers were a big deal? This would-be return to form has some undeniably great stuff in it--the Brothers' hilarious, uncomfortably on-target depiction of how a certain class of married man, when untethered, barks and barks but would never even think of biting--but it's tonally all over the place and goes hog-wild nuts at the climax. Unsatisying, overall, but worth seeing once, I suppose; Sudeikis's barely controlled hysteria is the highlight.

The Farrelly's had the Mojo in the 90's and some moments of Halls Pass reminds you of a past long gone, but they should've gone all in. Instead the funny moments are wrapped up in yet another sweet morale story about love conquers all... I want Kingpin or Me Myself and Irene, not another "Adam Sandler" movie!

I was pleasantly surprised by this flick, though I paid a mere $3 for my ticket. Any more, and I would have felt cheated. The plot is simple and a bit outlandish, but there are enough laughs to sustain the running length thanks to great supporting turns from Richard Jenkins and Stephen Merchant and the always-game Sudekis.

Remember when the Farrelly's used to make funny movies with tons of gags? This one starts nicely enough but the moment the guys get the hall pass the gags run out and you have to wait for the scene during the end credits in order to laugh again. Jenkins and Merchant make you smile a few times but this was one sad and conservative affair.

It's rubbish, but perfectly watchable rubbish. Sudeikis and Wilson are both funny enough, even if some of the jokes fall flat. That said there are some very funny moments, Stephen Merchant is quite good, and Pepper from "Neighbours" gets her boobs out! So bonus marks there...

A very so-so comedy, it's got a couple good laughs in it, especially the stuff with Jenkins, but there's too much down time, and not enough memorable moments. It does get some credit for featuring the only giant I actually personally know, I'm told they gave him a suit for the whole two seconds of screen time he got, I really wonder how much an eight foot suit costs.

"Hi, we're inconsiderate bitches." Also lost points for making fun of those of us with sleep apnea like it's rude to not be able to breathe at night. If being gay isn't a choice, I'm pretty sure being born with an obstructed airway isn't either. All of the points I'm giving this turd belong to Jason Sudekis.

Stereo typical story all the way, some jokes were hilarious, but others (think two dicks) were completely unacceptable -unless there's female nudity to match. It's also funny that in movies the "old woman" is basically the same age as the "young hot girl" just badly aged (the coffee girl is only five years younger than the "old woman" that one of their friends married).

This seems an essentially confused film, lacking confidence, and in the end retreating to the safest affirmations to try to garner approval from an audience it seems unsure about. Not without amusing moments, but is mainly of interest if seen less as a diagnosis of the sexual contradictions of the present age than as itself symptomatic of those contradictions.

My faith in the Farrely Brothers remains unshaken. They retain the ability to take terrible people attempting despicable things and make it gut busting and heartwarming at the same time. So yeah, no one here is swinging for the fences, but do they really need to? The Farelly's have already refined their style of tragic comedy to the point at which even lesser efforts (Heartbreak Kid comes to mind) are worthwhile.

Hall Pass is a forgettable outing from the Farrelly's. And it's a shame because I usually enjoy both Owen Wilson & Jason Sudeikis. But to be fare the two leads have little to work with and ultimately this film just isn't funny. The concept is both moronic and outlandish and the jokes more often than not just fall flat. It's just baffling to see the fortunes of the Farrelly Brothers dwindle so dramatically since their early successes like 'Dumb & Dumber' & 'There's Something About Mary'.

In which any person having or pursuing sex in anything other than a strictly monogamous relationship is subjected to violence, pain and humiliation. More a puritanical morality tale than a comedy, the Farrelly's join a cult or something?

I hate this movie so much. It promises a funny premise and a decent cast. Instead we get some morally unlikeable reverse. It bugs me that every promotional item for this movie suggests some raunchy comedy when in fact it's not that at all.

Given the consensus on Hall Pass, the film might just be my guilty pleasure. Starting with the bad; the film is poorly shot, the lighting & make-up being the worse culprits, which while distracting isn't essential for this kind of comedy. Almost all attempts at action and slapstick aren't good either. Nevertheless, I (audibly) enjoyed a lot of the jokes and dialogue. Sudeikis was MVP and Merchant steals his end of credit scene. Outlandish, but I liked that the characters stay true to themselves.

Spotty and uneven for the most part, but hits its stride when Jenkins’ hilarious horndog enters the film – his very presence seems to lift his co-stars and the film-makers, allowing the film to build some genuinely funny moments, especially an impeccably timed and judged sneeze. Performers are affable, even if Wilson is so laid back he almost disappears into the woodwork – doesn’t have its heart in developing its female characters, with Fischer and Applegate pleasant but given little to do.
