Hall Pass **

Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly directed this Comedy. Watch Preview Cast: Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Richard Jenkins, Christina Applegate, Alexandra Daddario, Stephen Merchant, Nicky Whelan, Larry Joe Campbell, Tyler Hoechlin. Rated R for crude and sexual humor throughout, language, some graphic nudity and drug use. Running time is one hour and forty-five minutes.

When two men (Owen Wilson, Jason Sudekis) begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their marriages: granting them a "hall pass," one week of freedom to do whatever they want...no questions asked.

I can see where a younger audience seeing this with a large number of others might find this very funny on multiple occasions. I basically watched it alone, however, and was mostly embarrassed for the two guys rather than finding their pathetic attempts to 'score' that funny. The cast is fine although I personally enjoyed Fischer and Applegate more than Wilson and Sudekis. The R rating is well deserved and I should probably point out there is some 'up close and personal' male nudity some might find offensive. The older you are the less you will be entertained by this one.
