Hall Pass Review

Messages: The two main characters have a brazen disregard for their wives' feelings, blatantly checking out women and joking about being biologically hardwired to have their eyes wander. They're also very eager to test out their "hall pass," though they do seem to arrive at the realization that their marriages matter above all else. And although it takes them a while to reach this conclusion, when they do, it's surprisingly convincing.

Role models: For most of the movie, there really isn't anyone to admire. Not the two leads; not their bumbling, crass friends; not their wives (who pretty much put up with their behavior and try the hall-pass approach only as a last resort); and more. But in the end, many of the characters do sort of redeem themselves.

Violence: A man first attacks a vehicle with a crowbar and then the people driving it. He also shoots at them with a handgun. In another scene, one man punches another.

Sex: Start with the full-frontal nudity showcasing two men's genitals. Add to that lots of fairly graphic descriptions of sex acts, a scene showing a man pleasuring himself in a car on a public street (his private parts aren't seen. but it's obvious what he's doing), another in which a woman bares her breasts to a married man, and many more. Two guys are openly on the make for a week even though they're married; their wives get to have their fun, too.

Language: Frequent use of words including "butt," "d--k," "s--t," "ass," "p---y," "bastard," "f--k," "bang," "t-ts," "a--hole," ""hell," and "oh my God."

Consumerism: Many products and labels are visible, including the Apple iPhone, Honda Odyssey, Titleist, Chili's, Olive Garden, Applebee's, and more.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: An underage college student asks an older man to buy her some beers. Characters are shown in bars and parties downing shots and drinking to oblivion. Alcohol is used as a social lubricant, a way to loosen up. Friends try pot brownies (and overdo them).
