Michael takes bag with 'DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT' written on it. Michael looks in bag.

"I don't know what I was expecting."

Well, that's the last time I let my parents choose a film for a while.

About as funny as coming home to the house where you live alone, and finding your cat has hung itself so as not to have to look at your face anymore

I paid 99p for this on the way to buy a bacon sandwich. I enjoyed the sandwich more.

Increasingly insulting and repulsive comedy about two dudes who get a sanctioned week off from their marriages but are too stupid to figure out what to do with themselves. Jason Sudeikis has a couple of mildly amusing moments and the post credits bit with Stephen Merchant is worth a look, but overall this is just another Farrelly brothers misfire stocked with all their non-actor friends.

I didn't see this until I had a child - which made me relate to this movie more now than had I watched it when it first came out.
A little crude comedy with a little heart. This movie had me laugh out loud and I watched it by myself. A sign of a good comedy when you enjoy it without being with other people.

I picked this up cheap on a whim several months ago, and as I am determined to work through my 'To Watch' pile of DVDs I thought I'd give it a go - it was late and I couldn't be bothered to choose a film that may have required thought. I really need to start getting up earlier to watch films when I'm feeling refreshed instead of putting them on stupidly late at night when I just want mindlessness. In all honesty, the main reason I bought this was because I noticed Stephen Merchant's name was on the front cover, but he was sorely underused. Hall Pass does have a couple of funny moments, but overall it's just typically average and rather predictable. Also, several of the cast members looked worryingly orange which was quite distracting.

Me gustó un poco. Y no, no es una broma.

Damn, Owen Wilson looks like shit in this movie!

Pretty funny flick though.

Focus-grouped "comedy" made for women in shitty marriages, with just enough gross-out humor to appease their mouth-breather husbands.

"comedy"

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Kind of terrible and predictable, but I like Owen Wilson and Sudeikis is good here too. There are some good parts here, like a great cameo role from Richard Jenkins, who must be one of the best and most unsung character actors working now. But a very forgettable movie, and you realise not just how predictable these are, but how conservative these movies are in promoting the status quo. Of course the 'hall pass' is a disastrous idea, because a Hollywood comedy isn't going to even tacitly suggest any form of adultery or open relationship could be beneficial, and of course it couldn't say that some marriages do fall apart. Eugh, this was not great.
