Hall Pass (2011) - Starring Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate. Written by Pete Jones, Peter Farrelly, Kevin Barnett, Bobby Farrelly. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly. Rated R. Available on DVD and HBO Go.
Hall Pass follows Rick (Wilson) and Fred (Sudeikis), two married men, who are given a "hall pass" - a week off of marriage - by their wives (Fischer and Applegate). They are given a chance to do absolutely whatever they want with whoever they want to do it with and will face no consequences once the week is over.
Which is something that would 100% absolutely never happen. Ever. I spent the whole movie thinking this. It is completely unrealistic, and I get that comedies a lot of times are about ridiculous situations, but to me, this was too much of a stretch. But even with this ridiculous of a situation, this movie was immensely boring. I literally - no exaggeration- only laughed once during this movie and it was at Jason Sudeikis, who I typically find pretty funny.
Maybe it's the fact that I can't stand Owen Wilson's style of acting - like Woody Allen with even more stuttering- or maybe it's just not a good script. But if you're planning on watching this, find another comedy to watch. Chances are that it will be more realistic, funnier, and all around better than this one.
Rating: 1 out of 5.
