If you can still admit that you love the first film, Dumb and Dumber To ups the ante and doesn't disappoint.
I’m gonna lay it all out for you: If you watched the trailer for Hall Pass and thought ”œI bet I could tell you, beat by beat, exactly how that movie’s plot is going to go”, then you are likely correct in your assumptions. Save for a some supporting cameos and a few typically-scatological set pieces, the Farrelly brothers’ latest film feels exactly like the marriages it seeks to satirize: good-natured and comfortable, but ultimately tepid and crushingly predictable.
This weekend sees the release of Hall Pass , the latest movie from the Farrelly brothers ( There’s Something About Mary , Dumb & Dumber , Stuck On You ). We’ll have our review of the film up soon, but in the meantime director/writer Bobby Farrelly and co-writer Kevin Barnett sat down for a roundtable interview here in Toronto, and Dork Shelf’s own Ian MacIntyre was invited to join in. Bobby and Kevin discussed Hall Pass , how comedy has changed, marriage, and crazy Three Stooges casting rumors.
