Best friends Rick and Fred each have been married for a long time, and they are showing signs of restlessness. To revitalize their marriages, their wives grant them one week to do whatever they please, no questions asked. At first, the deal sounds like a dream come true, but as the week marches on, the two friends discover that their expectations are wildly out of sync with reality.

Critics Consensus

Some filmgoers may be surprised by the Farrellys' defense of traditional domestic values in Hall Pass -- unfortunately, they'll probably also be dismayed by the absence of laughs.

Hall Pass teeters on the brink, and just about manages to stay in the rink.

The joke is supposed to be that it's sad to see these guys so desperate for a lay, but in truth, it's even sadder to see the brothers this desperate for a laugh.

0.5/4

The runtime feels like three hours, probably because the Farrellys stretch out a simple premise for about an hour and twenty minutes too long.

Hall Pass ends up being an inverted sermon, dissuading the married public from going hunting themselves. [Full review in Spanish]

1.5/5

If only "Hall Pass" were a TV pilot that kept the pace of Rick and Fred’s first two days of freedom; running eight minutes, there would only be 20 left of what would likely be the only episode to air. You will not provide your own laugh track.

glorifies cheating skank wives while constantly berating men

Film di cui non c'è molto da dire. Tranquillo e divertente, ottimo se si cerca qualcosa di poco impegnativo. Non mi ha fatto ammazzare dal ridere, forse perchè l'ho visto in lingua originale e qualche battuta potrei non averla capita, ma in sostanza non è il film più spassoso di sempre. Come già detto, un film da guardare quando si cerca qualcosa di leggero e con una trama molto semplice. Sulla sufficienza.

The Farrelly brothers are hit or miss. This one misses.
