Amanda Bynes returns in 'Hall Pass'

The cast for Bobby and Peter Farrelly's upcoming comedy "Hall Pass" is still growing, and the latest to join the party is Amanda Bynes, who last starred on the big screen in the stupid teen flick "Sydney White."

The film follows a married couple hoping to spice up their relationship when the wife (Jenna Fischer) gives her husband (Owen Wilson) a pass to have sex with different people. Another couple does the same.

Jason Sudeikis co-stars as Wilson's friend, the other man with a pass. Variety did not confirm what role Amanda Bynes will be playing exactly. My guess is she's a chick one of the men want to hook up with.
