AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic 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.

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.
Another chapter in the endless saga of American male infantilism.
There's something about Hall Pass that feels grosser than the usual Farrelly brothers comedy.
The usual string of hackneyed and largely laugh-free set-ups involving vulgar chat-up lines, hash brownies and a mad, jealous guy with a crowbar, all seemingly purpose-honed to appeal to devotees of 'The Hangover'.
A gross-out comedy about the perpetual immaturity of the American male that has, amazingly enough, a mature perspective.
Peter and Bobby Farrelly are gross-out artists in transition.
Audience Reviews for Hall Pass
Better than just being funny and making good use of that bawdy humor that the Farrelly brothers are well known for, this is a delicious comedy that works because of its characters, who earn our sympathy without any effort in a story that can be touching and is full of heart.
Super Reviewer
The material of Hall Pass, dispite be funny, doesn't honor the actors and the directors.
Super Reviewer
A lame, obvious, and not consistently funny enough take on a decent subject matter (going after someone else despite being married), concerning two jerks (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) who want desperately to see if they could get with another women, and how both of their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) give them a week off from marriage to let them fulfill this dream. While the subject is definitely original enough to work as a foul-mouthed, hilarious comedy, the Farrelly brothers inexplicably aren't able to come up with anything that funny, with an obvious conclusion and "moral lesson" you can see coming a mile away. The performances are all pretty average, as you can tell everyone is just winging this thing and in it for the pay check. The Farrelly's have done so much better in the past with comedy ("Dumb and Dumber", "There's Something About Mary"), sadly they don't appear up to the task here.
