UPFRONTS 2013: The Overachievers
New Line has released a trailer for Hall Pass, the comedy by Peter and Bobby Farrelly about two guys (Owen Wilson and Saturday Night Live‘s Jason Sudeikis) who are granted a short reprieve from monogamy by their wives. The film opens February 25 and what the trailer doesn’t show is the fact that while the boys are trying to take advantage of their freedom, so are their wives.
Loading ... Loading ...
Makes the trailer for No Strings Attached look like Jerry Maguire.
“You’re like A Beautiful Mind.”
That’s the joke you close your trailer on?
Did I see Joy Behar or whatever her name is? Thanks for the heads up, I wont be wasting my money on that.
This looks hilarious. Just sayin’.
Agreed. The trailer was well done and looks very funny. Love the Applebee’s scene and the guys conking out at 9:30pm.
Thanks for the spoiler, Mike. The ONE trailer that DOESN’T give away the twist and you give it away.
Great concept…I could use a hall pass myself.
Mike, celibacy and monogamy are NOT the same thing, thank God.
jesus. was that joy behar in the trailer? i’ll still see it b/c it looks funny, but the whole joy behar thing is terrible. because she is a terrible, disgusting person. and not funny – go figure.
Pass.
…looks like a winner. Uhh major box office…
Owen is good in stories like this. Would’ve been nice to see Owen and Vince back together in this comedy instead of Jason Sudeikis. But hey! The pairing could be worse.
I only know one definition of Hall Pass from the dictionary–
“written permission from a teacher for a student to be out the classroom and in the halls of the school.”
So, when you first hear or see this title without watching the trailer or knowing the storyline you automatically think the movie has something to do with school.
Looks funny though. Better title anyone?
Jason Sudeikis is a winner.
It’s a Tim Allen movie, but with Owen Wilson in it.
ding ding. and will make bank.
This one looks like a winner. I’ll pay to watch it.
Finally somebody had the sense to put Leon Black in a movie. He’s hilarious on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
That would be Ari Emanuel.
Right, “Hall Pass” is not really a good fit for the concept. The type of thing the film deals with is more typically a “freebie” or just a “pass” or a “mulligan,” etc…those aren’t good titles either, but yeah, “Hall Pass.” Kind of odd.
I second that.
Yes. Agreed.
Do you think the title will hurt the film’s chances when it opens February 25? Doesn’t have much competition the week before or opening weekend?
That Owen Wilson character appears more deranged than the one he played in The Minus Man.
looks better than ME,MYSELF,IRENE, STUCK ON YOU, and SHALLOW HAL!!!
in other words, It looks shitty.
You know, this would be great if Owen was a “man.” He’s nice but he has no testosterone. I like the idea for the film (commercial but still fun) but casting seems way off for this kind of movie.
We call it a “Kitchen Pass” when your wife lets you out with your friends, not sure that’s any better though. Great line about how guys think they could be with those girls if they weren’t with their wives, so true.
Owen Wilson is so unfunny
Wasn’t this written by Pete Jones of PROJECT GREENLIGHT fame?
This is a great concept! All guys believe that we would be banging tons of hot chicks if only we were single. Sudeikis rocks everything he does and could be the next Tom Hanks IMO. Before you kick my ass for saying that, remember that Tom Hanks started out doing crazier films before he became the next Jimmy Stewart.
“Do you think these bar napkins smell like chloroform?” Amazing! (And effective I’d bet!)
Wilson and Sudeikis looking like the next Wilson and Vaughn. Paired with two of the funniest guys out there in Stephen Merchant and JB Smoove = in.
Looks funny. Farrelly Bros are classic & I second Rev Slappy – JB Smoove is HILARIOUS.
Steve Merchant is in it, I’ll see it, the rest is irrelevant.
