About this movie

Best buddies Rick and Fred (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) have both been married for a long time. They love their wives, but, like some guys, just can't help checking out every other woman who crosses their paths. Fed up with this habitual rubber-necking, their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages by granting their husbands a "hall pass": one week of freedom to do whatever they want, no questions asked. Seven days to see exactly what it is out there they think they're missing...or stop looking once and for all. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred. But they quickly discover that their expectations of the single life-and themselves-are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality.

Ratings and reviews

...And that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm mildly surprised by the critic "reviews". As long as you are willing to buy into the concept, the movie flows well enough from scene to scene. The one-liners are delivered well enough for more than a few chuckles, and the few portions that involve nudity aren't forced just for the sake of seeing someone's bits paraded about. Overall, it is an entertaining "beer and snacks" movie worth watching with some of your less serious (or prudish?) friends.

Although there are some mildly amusing scenes, this movie does not even manage to crack a smile or a chuckle. The idea is very juvenile and inmature. Unfunny and definitely not worth viewing.

Great jokes with true under tones... You laugh & cry because.... The truth hurts and is funny... Stupid humour... But really those who like will love.... Yeah sappy ending... But it fits.. Fake chow... Lmaof
