Review of Hall Pass

Hall Pass (2011)
6/10
Well, I actually enjoyed this!
26 February 2011
I went to this movie not expecting a great night. We didn't plan on going to this flick but the one we wanted to go to was sold out so we got stuck with this. I like a good comedy, and I enjoyed the other Farrelly films so I figured how bad can it be? I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely not a movie you'd take your mother to. There are surprises throughout the movie and some blatant sight gags and the usual 'guy' humor , but it actually wasn't that bad! The chemistry between the 2 guys is spot on. I'm not a huge Owen Wilson fan but I do like Jason Sudakis. They were great together. This movie moves along pretty quickly and keeps the energy throughout the film. It does have a message that comes to fruition by the end of he film and for me , this all worked. The other guy friends seem to disappear after a while and I think could have lasted until the end. The storyline is good, the chemistry is good, the humor (while at times is the typical gag humor) made me laugh out loud and the message is good. As a Boston Red Sox fan, it was fun to see Dwight Evans in a role here. It's not the worst thing to spend a movie ticket on and is good entertainment if you like this kind of thing. But don't bring your elderly parents unless they can handle it and for goodness sake, don't bring little kids.
