Farrelly Brothers Issue ‘Heartbreak’ Stars A ‘Hall Pass’

Bobby and Peter FarrellyReporting by Alexandra Seitz

As far as purveyors of outrageous comedies go, there aren’t many directors more successful than the Farrelly Brothers. Since the blockbuster launches of early hits like “Dumb and Dumber” and “There’s Something About Mary,” the New England-bred siblings have continued to crank out riotously raunchy comedies - and soon they’ll get to work continuing that tradition with the over-the-top script “Hall Pass.”

When we recently caught up with the Brothers Farrelly, they clued us in on the exceedingly uncomfortable, grotesque scenes they have lined up for their characters - as well as the unlucky victims who might inhabit them.

“[The main characters are] married guys, and they’re faithful to their wives, but they always look at other women,” explained Peter Farrelly. “[It gets] to the point where their wives get so annoyed that they say ‘We’ll give you a week. You can have sex with one other woman,’ just to let the guys realize it might not be such a picnic.”

In the past, the Farrellys have subjected their stars to zipper mishaps, X-rated hair gel and laxative overdoses; now, they hope to bring back some favorites from “The Heartbreak Kid” for another gross go-around.

“There’s a lot of people that we worked with in ['Heartbreak'], in smaller roles, that we’re pretty excited about working with again,” revealed Bobby. “Like Rob Corddry and Danny McBride, the Carlos Mencias of the world, certainly Malin Akerman, Michelle Monaghan. Those are the kinds of people we really enjoy working with.”

The Farrellys hope to cast and shoot their flick soon, and plan to get it going before their controversial Three Stooges re-launch movie. With puffed-out privates in “Heartbreak” continuing their long tradition of popcorn-dropping cinema, we can only imagine where they’ll go next.
