| Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis look comfortable and expectant on this poster for Bobby and Peter Farrelly's Hall Pass |
Two sex-obsessed suburban chums get a week's 'hall pass' from their marriages to sow their wild oats. But SPOILER no one gets any sex out of it; just troubles, and the lesson that nothing beats the status quo.
Hall Pass packs a few scenes that are a little fun; the guys in Appleby's to score; the guys high on hash cakes on the golf course. - But apart from these scenes, there's precious little to laugh at in the Farrelly brothers' (Kingpin (1996)) Hall Pass, perhaps their worst film yet.
Hall Pass is mostly quite depressing, until its last act in which it also grows nauseating.
Peter and Bobby Farrelly devised the script with Pete Jones (Outing Riley (2004)) and Kevin Barnett (The Heartbreak Kid (2007)).
The comedy-loving Bobby Farrelly is working on a new movie at the moment, the romcom One Night Stan (2016), apparently without his brother!

| Do these actors look about 20 years too old to star in a film like Bobby & Peter Farrelly's Hall Pass? That's because they are |
Watch the red band trailer for the film here
Cost: 36 mil. $
Box office: 83.2 mil. $
= Minor flop
[Hall Pass opened to a slack # 1 title in the US with a 13.5 mil. $ opening weekend. It grossed 45 mil. $ in North America (54 % of the total gross) and received lots of horrible reviews.]
What do you think of Hall Pass?
Is this the worst Farrelly brothers film to date?
