The Plotline
Summary
Christina Applegate (Anchorman), Alyssa Milano (“My Name is Earl”), Larry
Campbell (Wedding Crashers) and Vanessa Angel (Kingpin) are the latest batch of
actors and actresses to be announced for the Farrelly Brothers‘ comedy Hall
Pass, which began shooting this week in Atlanta. (With Atlanta standing in for
New England.) They join the already announced cast of Owen Wilson, Jenna
Fischer, Amanda Bynes, Jason Sudeikis, Stephen Merchant and J.B. Smoove.
Wilson stars as Rick, a husband in a dull marriage whose wife gives him a ‘hall
pass’ — ie a license to engage in a week’s worth of extra-marital affairs.
Sudeikis co-stars as Wilson’s best friend, who also gets a pass to get whatever
ass he can.
Stephen Merchant and J.B. Smoove play friends of Rick (Wilson) and Fred (Sudeikis)
who “accompany them as they cut loose and attempt to cash their tickets.”
Hall Pass was written by Pete Jones as a spec, then rewritten by Kevin Barnett
and Peter and Bobby Farrelly.New Line picked up the film after Fox put it in
