'Hall Pass' is just an incredibly stupid film. It's monumentally sexist, and shows men up to be pathetic and weak which probably won't go down too well.
2 friends who have been married to their respective wives for years, are becoming restless in the mundane aspects of their lives. They long to both be single again and to have the chance to sleep around with as many women as they can. When their wives hear about this, they decide to try and double bluff them, and offer them both a hall pass - one week off from marriage where they can do anything they like. Initially excited by this new power they have been given, they are soon realising that they don't have the same urges as they did when they were young and single, and things take a turn when their wives both begin to receive attention of their own.
It certainly doesn't show men in a good light, and to be honest, I find their behaviour utterly appalling, but it's supposed to be funny isn't it, so who cares?!
Disappointing.
