Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Any shred of credibility that Owen Wilson once had is obliterated by this deeply unfunny comedy from the Farrelly brothers. Sex-starved best pals Rick (Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are anxious that their marriages have gone stale.

To remedy this, their wives grant them a "hall pass", which entitles them to seven days of freedom to do whatever they want to do. Inevitably, their brief bachelor life doesn't quite pan out for them. Twenty minutes in and not even a whiff of a joke – just tired genitalia and masturbation "gags". The Farrellys could once be relied upon for some bite and refreshing silliness, but this is just plain dull.
