Hall Pass
One week. No rules.
From the Farrelly Brothers (There's Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber) comes your ticket to fool around! Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends, each married many years. With the guys showing signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their respective marriages: granting them a "hall pass," one week of freedom to do whatever they want... no questions asked. At first a dream come true, it's not long before Rick and Fred find that their expectations of the single life - and themselves - are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality.

dear zip.ca community, here is my review of this movie (hall pass). I think it's a very good movie with a very funny story. The actors did a very good job. It's not to long and there are a lot of funny stuff. I recommend that movie to all of you in the zip.ca communityA Good Laugh - Sprock
Hall Pass was better then I was expecting. Owen Wilson has not been doing it for me recently so I was a little apprehensive about this movie. Happily, Owen Wilson's comedy style was perfectly suited to his character. A couple of good laugh out loud moments.It's stupid, What did you expect? - SStones
It's not the best of the Faralley (sp) brothers. It would be amazing for them to ever achieve better.
It's not the best of Owen Wilson. He had neither a great script nor great co-stars to pull him along here.
All it is is a funny movie about middle aged guys trying to get laid by young girls. It is simple. It has dicks in it to horrify people who presume to be mature. It has dick jokes to amuse those without such presumptions. It has boobs to amuse the 14 year old boys who get their hands on a copy.
Fortunately, it does create some almost 2 dimensional personality into the characters and there are actual laugh out loud moments. You may not remember them, they're not truly brilliant, but just simple, honest laughs. Like "But that's my car not his!" to the DJ/Cappuccino/graffiti kid.
I know it doesn't deserve more than 3 stars, but c'mon. For a comedy to actually make you laugh instead of just smiling these days is nice.
