Brief review: In 2011, the widely-known Farrelly brothers bring us another one of their sex-oriented comedies, but unfortunately, their latest film "Hall Pass" is not nearly as good as their cult comedy hit "There's Something About Mary", nor is very funny. It's just outrageous, but in a bad way. The script, obviously written by a bunch of idiots, has tons of stupid sex jokes, gross situations and ridiculous lines. Certain moments prove the script's idiocy - the 'poop on the golf course' scene and 'poop in the tub' scene are both utterly disgusting, however, the most shocking scene in this impudent comedy features a long penis shot of a naked, horse-hung black man, whose 'instrument' is only five inches away from Owen Wilson's face. It's very unexpected, yet somewhat amusing. Speaking of Owen Wilson, he does a fairly decent job as the flirtatious, yet loyal husband Rick, while Jason Sudeikis is rather annoying as the horny best friend of Rick, Fred. Both, Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate are charming and incredibly likable as the open-minded wives, who love their husbands, despite the fact they know they're morons, and the supporting cast is pretty forgettable, except for Nicky Whelan, who's truly eye-candy as the alluring coffee-shopper.
Overall summary: Although it has its moments and features an incredibly engaging female cast, "Hall Pass" is a tasteless, vulgar and often embarrassing comedy full of infantile characters, that desperately tries to be funny, but it's clearly forced, and fails to deliver many laughs.
