Overview
This buddy comedy from the Farrelly brothers stars Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson as a couple of married guys who persuade their wives to give them the ultimate "get out of jail free" card: a marriage "hall pass." The agreement gives them free reign to behave like bachelors -- free from the rules and confines of fidelity, responsibility, and married life -- for one week. But soon the guys find that the small town where everybody knows them -- and their wives -- isn't very conducive to chasing tail. And making matters worse, it turns out to be harder than they thought to accept the idea of their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) taking off for vacation on a hall pass of their own.

3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]ave no fear, the Farrellys haven't lost their taste for the extreme and there are a handful of tasteless LOL bits that thankfully go way over the top..." - 02/25/2011 Box Office
"[With] a genuinely soulful performance from Owen Wilson....Frequently funny and just as frequently heartfelt..." - 02/24/2011 A.V. Club
"The Farrellys, working from a script they co-wrote with Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett, set all this up with an innocent dirty-minded aplomb." -- Grade: B- - 03/04/2011 Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- "Wilson is as good as he's ever been, Stephen Merchant adds a dash of the absurd and Sudeikis gamely carries the yuck factor." - 05/01/2011 Total Film
