HALL PASS

The Farrelly Brothers used to be Kings of the raunchy comedy.  However, Todd Phillips has surpassed them.  There is readily apparent when you watch HALL PASS.  It actually plays slow and tame compared to Todd Phillips’ films.

To be a big hit today, you have to get outrageous and push the envelope hard with this premise.  The Farrelly Brothers no longer push.  They’ve grown old.  The majority of their visual jokes fall flat now.  The laughs are too few and far in between.
