The Farrelly Brothers Return with Hall Pass

The answer is: Probably not. The cast of Hall Pass by itself should elevate above Heartbreak Kid. It looks amiably amusing, decent cable fare if you’ve somehow exhausted every other decent available option. It stars Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, as well as Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate (and Alyssa Milano), and the five of them are likable enough to save whatever is left in the dregs of the Farrelly tank. The premise is doltish: A couple of sex-obsessed married suburban men receive a hall pass — freedom away from their marriage for a week to do whatever they’d like. Undeniably, they will realize how much they love their spouses, and return to their respective wives nookie-free.

"From the guys who brought you Something About Mary."

When you're still having reminding people that you made a decent movie twelve years ago, it's probably time to re-think your marketing strategy. As well as your career.

Why must the Cinema Gods defile my date of birth by releasing this...this...putrid piece of patriarchal piss? Gawl.

This looks absolutely awful. Yeah, I've got no witty way to describe just how terribly mediocre it looks. So I'm sorry. I know it's Friday and all.

One can only hope the dismal performance of the characters in this movie will encourage real world women to enact this practice.

"they will realize how much they love their spouses, and return to their respective wives nookie-free"

Ever hear of a spoiler warning?

So they threw out Will Forte and got Sudekis for this go round. Why are they trying to kill his career already?

Goddamnit Sudekis, I KNOW you are beyond this drek. Do NOT make me hate you, sir.

This looks great. The fact it has Stephen Merchant alone makes it a must see. The guy is awesome.
