My husband wanted to see this one and I thought it was going to be one of those "stupid funny movies" and guess what it was!! It's by the guys that did "There's Something about Mary" and employs that style of comedy...
As a rule I don't really like Owen Wilson, I can stand him but his crooked face always distracts me in movies and makes me question how a man that looks like that can get such a pretty wife (because he always seems to land the pretty chicks in these movies). This film is really no exception he is married to a pretty lady and has a wandering eye, his best friend is the same or, maybe even worse. Their wives decide that they have had enough and give them a "hall pass" which is a week off from marriage to familiarise themselves with what it is like to live a single life again. The whole idea is that this should make them realise how good they have it and then live happily ever after.
Honestly the film had its funny moments but it was more of a date night movie for us and one I didn't really enjoy. Sure I had a few laughs but they were few and far between and we all knew that surely in the end they were already, how does that saying go "punching above their weight" and had slim chances of getting a prettier lady.
It reminded me a little of the hangover but I liked that movie a little more. I'll give it 2.5.
Thanks

2.5 is a little low don't you think?
