# 4 Movie Seen - Hall Pass

Hall Pass is the latest movie from the Farrelly Brothers, who gave us There's Something About Mary and Me, Myself and Irene.Yep, it's another rude silly comedy.  It's about a couple of married suburban guys who are a bit frustrated with their sex lives, until their wives give them a "hall pass" which is a week off being married where they can do whatever they want.  The concept sounds a bit ridiculous but the setup actually makes it seem more plausible than it sounds, as the girls figure that it's the idea of being able to do it that the guys will enjoy most, not the actual cheating.  I thought that a lot of the humour in this movie came from it being quite relateable to real life - these average joes (Owen Wilson does a pretty good job of being ordinary) are always checking out young, really hot women and seem to assume that they will just have to run a quick pickup line to have gorgeous women falling all over them.  However these guys find it is a tad more difficult than that.  The fun really begins when the women realise they too have a hall pass and of course guys are lining up to spend time with these attractive women.  The movie had some really funny moments, but probably not as many as you would like compared to say There's Something about Mary.  As with all the Farrelly Brothers movies there is a bit of a moral and some gooey emotional bits (which probably are needed to offset the cruder scenes/jokes) but I would still rate it a solid 3/5 if you don't expect too much from your comedies.
