In all the fracas that has surrounded the production of the Farrelly Brothes' Three Stooges film, many have completely missed the fact that the siblings have another film that is not only lacking problems involving Sean Penn, Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro, but is set to begin shooting starting this Tuesday: Hall Pass. The film already has plenty of names that can at least make you crack a smile, including Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Jason Sudeikis, and Amanda Bynes, but now it's added two more that are guaranteed to make you laugh.

Stephen Merchant and J.B. Smoove have been added to the film about two married men who are given free passes by their wives to have extramarital affairs, according to THR. The two actors, best known for roles on The Office UK and Curb Your Enthusiasm respectively, will play friends of the two leads, Wilson and Sudeikis, though it is unknown how big their roles will be.

It has been a LONG time since we've been able to laugh with Bobby and Peter Farrelly instead of laughing at them. The duo has been in a ten-year rut that has made many question what happened to talent that made both Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary. These new additions, however, do inspire confidence. Merchant has yet to disappoint in anything he has done, and Smoove is one of the, if not THE, funniest actors on television right now. Perhaps this movie will be the return of the comedy duo. After all, it's fairly hard to do any worse than The Heartbreak Kid.
