Hall Pass / Yes Man

Hall Pass

Disappointed with their husbands obsessive interest in other women, two wives, Maggie (Jenna Fischer) and Grace (Christina Applegate) decide to give them a ‘Hall Pass’, one week of freedom to do whatever they want with no questions asked. This includes partying, drinking and women. For Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) this is a dream come true, they get to escape their stale marriage for a week and forget about all responsibilities. So Rick and Fred set out on a mission to live their lives as single men for a week, but they soon begin to feel that they may have been out of the game for too long and feel they have lost their touch. Matters are also worsened when their wives begin partaking in extramarital activities as well. Now Rick and Fred must decide what’s more important, their freedom or salvaging what’s left of their marriage. -M.F.
