Hall Pass

This was the most recent film I have seen in the cinema and I saw it last Wednesday. Hall Pass is a 2011 comedy film produced and directed by the Farrelly brothers who are well known for directing such comedy films as: There's Something about Mary, Shallow Hal and Dumb and Dumber and co-written by them along with Pete Jones. It stars Owen Wilson who is very well known for his attrective and silly roles in: Zoolander, Starksy and Hutch and Meet the Fockers. Stephen Merchant who is one part of the English comedy duo - him and Ricky Gervais. Christina Applegate who has been in the legendary Anchorman. From the directors and the cast this is sure to be a hilarious film.

Hall Pass is about a married man who is granted the opportunity to have an affair by his wife. Joined in the fun by his best pal, things get a little out of control when both wives start engaging in extramarital activities as well. This film was your typical American comedy film but it does have a few funny moments: there is some full frontal, unexpected, male and female nudity, some very crude but hilarious sexual references, the men get high on a golf course and a girl even sharts herself! It is a fun rollercoaster of a film to go on and I found it very clever that the wives end up joining in and get more action too! The cast have great chemistry with each other and the film flows very well. However, one thing I'd like the film to have improved on is the involvement of the two men's friends as they were only in the film for a few scenes and they then decided that the men weren't going to find any women and left. I think they film could have benefitted with more of the men being involved and seeing them getting into lots more crazy situations.

All in all, Hall Pass is an entertaining film for a Saturday night with mates.

I give Hall Pass 2.5/5
