What to Know

Critics Consensus

Some filmgoers may be surprised by the Farrellys' defense of traditional domestic values in Hall Pass -- unfortunately, they'll probably also be dismayed by the absence of laughs.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Hall Pass teeters on the brink, and just about manages to stay in the rink. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Wilson and Sudeikis make an amusingly goofy pair. Rated: B- Jun 19, 2011 Full Review William Goss Film.com The joke is supposed to be that it's sad to see these guys so desperate for a lay, but in truth, it's even sadder to see the brothers this desperate for a laugh. Jun 16, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The runtime feels like three hours, probably because the Farrellys stretch out a simple premise for about an hour and twenty minutes too long. Rated: 0.5/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Hall Pass ends up being an inverted sermon, dissuading the married public from going hunting themselves. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal If only "Hall Pass" were a TV pilot that kept the pace of Rick and Fred’s first two days of freedom; running eight minutes, there would only be 20 left of what would likely be the only episode to air. You will not provide your own laugh track. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

SpookySkeleton M Hilarious movie, can't believe the scores are so low. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Mariana L aged like milk, almost laughed two times Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/23 Full Review dudu h Really fun comedy movie. If you like dumb comedies this is for you Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Jake C The humor is a little dated but that didn't stop this from being an instant classic. I definitely recommend you give this a watch! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Stephen C Ages 13 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review sarah f This movie is hilarious! The only reason I can think of why the ratings are so low is that it seems unlikely for anyone to ever get a "hall pass" because i really don't understand how else they could be so low. But i guess if you get past that it's a top 5 rom-com. The cast is all great and it's so funny the whole time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
