Clevercell Very disappointing...

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

jfgibson73 I laughed more than I thought I would at this movie, and I enjoyed all the performances. So it exceeded my expectations. It was outrageous enough that I would be willing to watch it again. I liked Christina Applegate and Jenna Elfman in their roles as the exasperated wives. I liked the fact that this movie addresses the male ideal that they could be getting all kinds of young women if they weren't married. Above average.

Taylor Kingston I enjoyed this movie. It was worth a watch. I probably wouldn't watch it again anytime soon and I won't be buying it on Bluray, but the fact that I liked it, and gave it a 7/10, means that it was worthwhile.In this movie, Rick and Fred are two married guys who are having marital problems with their wives. Mainly because they're always looking at other women. They are given a "Hall Pass" by their wives for one week, hence the title of the movie, which means they can do whatever they want and the wives won't get mad or upset about it. This seems like a good idea, but things like this never are.Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

augustian This review may contain SPOILERS. After reading the blurb on the back of the DVD cover, I began to suspect that this film was not going to be so obviously about two married men given liberty for a week, but a subversive attack on women. As the film progressed I began to think that my suspicions were right.Two married men, Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) long for the freedom of their youth. Their wives, Maggie (Jenna Fischer) and Grace (Christina Applegate) reluctantly agree. As the film progresses though, the whole premise is turned on its head. Rick and Fred just cannot be unfaithful to their wives, Rick turns down a near naked Leigh (Nicky Whelan) while Fred even fakes having sex. The women though are a different kettle of fish. From the wives to the doctor to female relatives and even the young babysitter, the women are portrayed as rampant tarts who just cannot get enough. Hollywood really hates women doesn't it? This is a comedy though, so that's all right isn't it? Grace even crashes her car and ends up in hospital after realising what she had done. It must have been a hoot writing that one.I believe it was Oscar Wilde (correct me if I'm wrong) who said something along the lines of, "Women don't know the danger they are in until it's too late." Perhaps it should be rewritten as, "Women don't know how much they are hated until it's too late." If ever there was a misogynistic movie, then this has to be it.

Terence Frederick 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.
