St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsFeb 25, 2011
Like the middle-aged dads in this flaccid fiasco, Hall Pass is a decade behind the curve of what's happening. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia PuigFeb 24, 2011
It's almost impressive when a movie can manage to be both repellently vulgar and sickeningly sweet in the span of a mere two hours. Almost. Read full review

The New YorkerDavid DenbyMar 12, 2011
The movie collapses into banality. The marriages hang together, but fear and guilt provide the glue. Perhaps the biggest insult to women here is the idea that they can't get better men than these two vacuous guys. [14 March 2011, p. 78]

Haphazardly conceived, phlegmatically paced, lazily filmed and punctuated with gratuitous moments of sexual and scatological slapstick. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesMar 3, 2011
Hall Pass has half the right idea: Scratch out "Hall," and just … pass. Read full review

Not only disgusting and unendurable, but filthy and boring, too. Read full review
