Leave your thoughts about Hall Pass.
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithI laughed from beginning to end and to me that's the sign of a comedy classic. |
| CinematicalJohn GholsonHave the Farrellys lost their touch? Once adept at crafting trashy, lowbrow gags way too funny to be ignored, they seem totally tin-eared with 'Hall Pass.' |
| NPRScott TobiasStill, the Farrellys have a distinct touch that carries their dubious premise across. They bring back the toilet humor of yore and make it shocking and funny again. |
| Daily Film FixJonathan W. HickmanPackaged around R-rated gags, some of them of the gross-out scatological variety, is a heart-felt commentary on monogamy. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerSporadically funny, but it wastes a lot of time on dreary clichés. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsThough the film never balances the grown-up stuff with the gross-out gags, it suggests the Farrellys might be able to do mature after all. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowOddly misogynistic, particularly disappointing for film-makers whose great strength has been their capable and good-hearted female characters. |
| Critic's NotebookRobert LevinHall Pass shows flashes of '90s-Farrelly magic; and even at its most reductive, the film can still fall back on a basic tenet: These guys know their way around a gag. |
| The VineAnthony MorrisUnless you really, really, really need to scare your partner into staying in your relationship, maybe pass this one by. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovIt's heretical but true: I prefer my Farrelys sentimental. |
