Well its about time Owen Wilson got his groove back. I know he had some issues a few years back,and he has been in some films since then,but I mean you star in "Marley and Me" no one gives a rats ass about who the people are,its about the frickin dog,they could have cast frickin Corey Feldman in it and it wouldn't have mattered.*
Anyways, I know a lot of people either love the dude or hate him,but ever since 1996 and "Bottle Rocket" I have loved the dudes just gee whiz care free attitude in films.He can be very funny.Ok your pretty much getting Owen Wilson as Owen Wilson,but I'll take that of the fat dude from "King of Queens" who's a one trick pony "Hey I'm Fat!!"... anyways I usually enjoy his flicks.But his recent films have been kind of ehhh.Well he comes back in spades with this film.
Same with the Farrelly brothers,I mean these guys in the 90's made some very funny films,from "Dumb and Dumber", their "Godfather" "Something About Mary",and "Me,Myself,and Irene".But after that they seemed to have lost their way,with crap that just wasn't as good,"Shallow Hall" and "Stuck On You"...just dull forced non funny over long crap. But damn did they get it right with "Hall Pass".
These two guys, Wilson and "Saturday Night Lives" Jason Sudekis are normal married guys who like all married dudes every once in a while likes to look at the chicks while with the wife and stuff and as stated in the film think if they weren't married they'd be banging every hard body around.So their wifes,the always good lucking Christina'You'll Always Be Kelly Bundy To Me" Applegate and the very cute Jenna Fischer decide to let them have a week of freedom.
This film is funny as hell,its seems like the Farrelly's took what was really funny from their old comedies and mixed it up with some Apatow like situations and brought to the screen some comic gold.This film is very funny. Now I will say,for the most part this is more of a guys film,so women might not like it as much,even though to be fair the two female costars actually have a decent amount to do in the film.So I don't know if this would be a preferable date night flick,or more of a guys night out kind.Probably a guys night out,if your with the lil lady just take her to "Red Riding Hood" if ya gotta see a comedy (yeah I know its not a comedy but have you read reviews about that piece of shit?Jeez).....
Anyways I LOVED this flick and when it comes out on Blu Ray I will definitely be buying this sooooo it can take its place with my other summer time late night "Scott Comic Gold Flicks" along with "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Dazed and Confused"....I will be watching the shit out of it....I know my wife will be looking forward to it!!
* OK so this further strengthens that you CANNOT call Jennifer Aniston a Movie Star. Every movie that she has had that's been a hit is because she has a smart agent who knows to put her in flicks opposite an adorable dog in a film based on like the 2005 book of the year that was a stone cold lock to be a hit.Star opposite Jim Carrey and Vince Vaughn when you know everyone is going to see them,not her,and then do safe ensemble flicks that stars a shit load of people ala "He's Just Not Into You"....Shes not a box office draw,I mean no one saw "The Good Girl" or "Rumor Has It".
But to be fair to her,I'll take her every day of the week over that uber bitch Katherine Heigl!!
