Hall Pass Trailers

When best buds Rick and Fred begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages, they grant the guys a 'hall pass'—one week of freedom to do whatever they want. At first, it seems like a dream come true, but they quickly discover that their expectations of the single life—and themselves—are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality.

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.

Simply dreadful 2011 film with Owen Wilson and his pal given a hall pass by their wives. This simply means that for one week, they can act as single guys and cavort with whomever they choose to do so.The movie then goes into their various experiences during the week. The wives also go into hall pass mode so that both the men and women are cheating on one another.The situations are ridiculous just like the film. There is a chase by the police, a guy jumping all over their car with a gun whose mother, played by Joy Behar, is the one delight of the film.After seeing this wreck, they would have been better off if they never returned from their honeymoon.

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.

The movie's story sure takes its time to build up things, even those of the really unnecessary nature. The main theme and conflict suggested in the title arrived quite late in. The story development between after the main conflict sets in and the finale conflict sequence is not so true of the movie's spirit; it sort of being protective of what the majority viewers' moral compass would expect. Yet the comedy aspect stayed true all the way true, featuring very nicely enjoyable comedic moments and some really nice jokes, although very much suggestive. Owen Wilson's acting is quite nice here considering comedy genre is one of his most comfortable environment experiences. Jason Sudeikis gives in the perfect amount of funny aura being the variation of the main character's variation of how things unravel.
