This did make me laugh, one of those right movie at the right time scenarios because it really is pretty dumb. Lots of gross out raunchy humour thanks to the Farrelly brothers.The plot is nothing remarkable, predictable even but honestly that's not what I'm watching a movie like this for; following two best buds (Owen Wilson & Jason Sudeikis) who are granted permission to take a week off of marriage, only to realize that the reality of single life is not as appealing as they remember after bumbling in their efforts to "charm" women.A couple of scenes that I really laughed at were the girl "sneezing" into the bathtub and the gym-hot-tub-penis scene. Too funny. Yeah its a "naughty marriage comedy" that I'll probably watch again. 09.13

I guess you have to be 35-50 and married to enjoy this movie, because I never laughed harder in my life. The scenes in the hot tub, night rider and the hotel bathroom were three of the funniest things I have ever seen. Owen Wilson's line - Red, can you switch places?. That line was hysterical. Every scene has funny but true comments. The new house open visit was fantastic, the ride home after was so funny too. I have been using the look back and let the girl walk through my line of vision for years. So many parts of the movie are spot on to real life. Although very crude at times, there is a great message about marriage in the end. This is my favorite comedy of all time.

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.
