Summary: Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends who have a lot in common, including the fact that they have each been married for many years. But when the two men 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. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred. But it isn’t long before they discover that their expectations of the single life–and themselves–are completely, and hilariously, out of sync with reality.
EN 5 Second Review: It’s the Farrelly brothers best effort in a while, however that makes it still crap. It has a few laughs, is typically raunchy, and unfortunately if that’s what its going for it doesn’t go far enough to the bad side to make it worthwhile. Instead we are left with a wishy washy film that ultimately goes nowhere.
