HALL PASS

Farrelly Brothers have made some really fucking funny movies, and some really not so funny movies. I think they get a bad wrap for that though and I've found that the movies that weren't so funny to most, get a lot more funny after another viewing. Some are totally underrated, like The Ringer made me laugh pretty hard when I saw it in the theater, there I said it. I also thought Shallow Hall was pretty fuckin funny. Let's not forget the classics though, like Dumb and Dumber (my favorite), Something About Mary and my close second favorite, Kingpin.
Hall Pass got some pretty harsh reviews and some rough things were said about the brothers Farrelly, but Larissa and I thought it wasn't that bad at all. Definitely not their best work, but it had some really funny parts. I'm not that big of a fan of Jason Sudeikis, but he did alright. Owen Wilson does a pretty good job, which you kind of expect, even though he's about 60/40 for me anyway. I love whenever he works with Wes Anderson. Brilliant performances and writing whenever those two get together. I also actually like You, Me and Dupree (I'm sure I'll get shit for that one).
I wish there was more Stephen Merchant in Hall Pass though. He has a pretty funny scene at the very end, during the credits. He is always really funny. There are some good lines in this and I think it's a good one for couples to see. There are some parts I definitely could have gone without, guys will know what I'm talking about. All and all, it wasn't as horrible as people are saying it is, but I wouldn't rush to the theater, you can wait to watch it in the comfort of your own home with some pistachios and cheap beer....that's what I like to do, and let's be honest, who doesn't like that combo!?
WAIT FOR DVD!
