Hall Pass


Any woman who has seen the trailer for this movie would think that this comedy was a guy flick. In a sense it is but it is truly a movie for people who are married. The story is about a married man who is granted the opportunity to have an affair by his wife. The movie is very predictable but the Farrelly Bros. nail the story because the story resonates with married couples.
Hall Pass tries to be like the movie The Hangover in some scenes that don't work, but when the story revolves around the issues that come up between a married couple the film works.
Owen Wilson does a fine job of under playing his usual self as the lead character and his wing man, Jason Sudeikis from Saturday Night Live, is hysterical. Christina Applegate, from the movie The Rocker and Stephen Merchant, from The Office, are also very good.

Verdict:
Don’t believe the poor reviews from the critics, I laughed until I cried. In fact the entire audience was laughing in the theater I viewed this in.
