Yeah Aussie group. It was a huge hit around 2008 I think.

They're a bit weird. I've watched a few of their other videos and they're all the same - just the two guys dressed weirdly wandering around barren areas like deserts and shores. Their music isn't bad, though none of their songs are a good as "Walking on a Dream".

I didn't remember I watched this before, but I watched it again tonight. The bell started ringing at around the time they entered the coffee shop the first time. That was a good scene, and so there were many more. It's definitely a Farrelly brothers hit, and looking around their last couple years, it seemed mostly misses.

Hall Pass just hits the mark really well. Yes, some of the jokes are the kind of Jackass-y, but they made me laugh nonetheless. This film is Sudeikis at his best, and the chemistry with Owen Wilson is good too. The film is just plentiful of gag and laughs, that it's a can't miss good time for me. It does run a bit long with the story, but finishes it of with a few good final jokes.
No film can go wrong with a hot Aussie barista; and for Algren, she's also hot in the Wedding Ringer, not as good as this film (IMO), but for your current state of mind you'll probably enjoy it (and it's a 2015 film).

B+

And Walking on a Dream is a great song for sure.

Their problem is that they kept trying to replicate Walking on a Dream and hence never quite managed to do anything as good. I havent heard about them in a long time now.
