Pass?

Hall Pass (2011)

Yet another comedy from the Farrelly brothers which this time stars Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate. Two married couples give each other a week off from marriage to get any desire to cheat out of their systems.

When it comes to the plot of this film there is a fair amount of skirting around stereotypes but the film does just about manage to keep away from devolving into sexism. There are definitely some funny moments although they are a little on the rare side but the main problem with the film is that the drama side never really goes anywhere other than making cursory nods to the obligatory beats. You probably could find something interesting to say about relationships and the desire to look where the grass may be greener but this film does not ever really come close to that.

3/5
