BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — To hear the cast and directors of “Hall Pass” tell it, there’s as much hilarity happening off-camera as on when the Farrelly brothers are making a movie.

“There were more kind of, like, wrap parties on this movie than normal movies,” Owen Wilson recalled.

“A weekly wrap party,” Jenna Fischer affirmed.

“Prewrap wrap parties,” Jason Sudeikis elaborated.

“There was a lot,” Wilson said.

“More games were invented,” Sudeikis marveled, glancing down the long table at Peter and Bobby Farrelly. “You guys could have your own Olympics with the (stuff) you guys do. Like the birthday contest.”

“There was a dice game with the giant dice that you found,” Fischer said.

And Sudeikis described a basketball game using a football to shoot hoops. No easy dribbling there.

“That’s where I made most of my money back,” Bobby Farrelly said with a smile.
