Storyline

A couple of married guys are always looking at other women. Their wives are fed up with their behavior, and grant them a 'hall pass': a week off their marriage allowing them to do anything. But the guys take their time and their week is almost up. What they don't realize is that at the same time their wives make connections of their own.

User Reviews

One of the funniest movies ever made!

It is not for every taste but if you are a married middle aged man who has an "inner man" who dreams of being single for a week, this movie is for you. It's filled with one liners and I watch it every time it comes on.
