Best buddies Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) have both been married for many years, and are worried that their relationships with their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) have lost their spark. Their wives decide to take a novel approach to the problem by granting their jaded husbands a 'hall pass': seven days of freedom to do whatever they want with whomever they want, with no questions asked. This offer sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred, but they quickly discover that single life is not all they had cracked it up to be - especially when their wives start indulging in a little extramarital activity of their own.

Week without commitments is awesome. When I saw the directors, it was clear to me. I like their movies. This one will be the same, even though, I admit, I was thinking between three and four stars during the movie. The beginning starts quite slowly, then it picks up in a completely brutal way. And it continues until the end, which again follows the spirit of a classic American comedy story. However, in the end I gave a better rating because I really laughed during the movie. I watched the movie alone and I was laughing like a little kid. And that doesn't happen to me often when I watch a comedy alone. So it must mean something. Plus, the duo of Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis is really cool. It just seems to me that Owen Wilson has been slowing down a bit lately and becoming more of an ordinary guy at the table. Well, hopefully he will soon make up for it with a really good and interesting role after a long time.

I like these comedies very much. They are from life, contain wisdom and advice, and can also be great fun with decent gags. I enjoyed it, I laughed, I want to see it again. 80%.

Average, typical Farrelly comedy that doesn't offend and is also quite entertaining. A couple of decent lines had me laughing quite a bit. The scene on the golf course had me crying with laughter. Oddly enough, I enjoyed the female cast the most. Owen Wilson is getting a little creepy. The script is one big cliché, but it's still a funny diversion. 3.5 stars.

Quite an interesting idea. What happens when you give the model husband a week off? He can do whatever he wants. Well, honestly, I see this as a pretty intense psychological drama, but it's clear that it could also be turned into a comedy. That's what the Farrelly brothers tried to do. I quite like their humor, which can be quite dark at times, but here you suddenly feel like you have to wait quite a while for the jokes, and when they finally come, they're not great. The moralizing of this movie is really awful. You expect it with Sandler, but here... I really didn't enjoy this.
