I really don't understand why so many bad reviews, infact i found this movie not so bad, even a nice one funny and entertaining. of course is a light movie and nothing so special, but if you want a light comedy with several funny scenes and laughs that could be ok.

This movie is frankly disgusting. And not in a good way. I mean the kind of disgusting where you just feel dirty after watching a movie like this and you want to take a shower, and then shower again just to be safe. Hall Pass is everything I hate in studio comedies, cranked to 11. Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis play two pals who are bored with their lives married to Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate respectively. When the wives notice that their husbands are getting way too horny, they decide to give them a hall pass (where Wilson and Sudeikis get sleep with as many women as they want and fear no repercussions) for a week. So Wilson and Sudeikis get some other friends to paint the town red and get laid. The wives decide they want to do this too, and I assume you know what's next. First of all, the premise is downright unpleasant and despicable, and the film's attempt at addressing America's attitude towards marriage and adultery is so half-hearted and misguided that I honestly don't know what they're trying to teach. The characters (including the wives and the random people our heroes encounter the whole movie) are too obnoxious and unlikable to care about. I know Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis can act, so why won't they pick movies that let them? Everyone else in the cast try their best with what they have, and it's not very much. The comedy in this film consists of this: Scatological slapstick, dick jokes and random references to movies we could be watching instead of this one. Not necessarily in that order. Movies like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary are classics because the humor in each broke barriers and challenged people's taste. Sadly, the Farrelly Brothers' brand of humor is not funny, shocking or interesting anymore. After the umpteenth time, it gets tiresome. It's clear that the Farrelly Brothers are refusing to grow up even though their audience has.

This film isn't anything special. It is easy to watch, a bit of laughter and fun, not much messages, monogamy and marriage are touched, sex (as in every film of this kind).Usually I give 5 as rating if I pause when I got distracted while watching but you don't have to bother do this extra move if you're watching... this...Not so horrible as "american pie"... and has some decent messages for the viewers in the end. So I'd recommend it for easy going/funny night when you don't have to pay too much attention to the screen of the TV. Few stereotypes are put into perspective here (across the lines) which always annoys me (I would prefer to be "out of the box" thinker instead of seeing stupid messages poking my eyes from low budgeted films as this one.So in a nutshell - nothing special, good for wasting time with friends/family/girl/boy-friend but don't expect to remember this film weeks after you've seen it.

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.
