tezhowes A few nights ago, I had the pleasure of watching a movie that fired on all cylinders; it was that rare bird that I expect achieved everything and more, from all involved, that it set out to be in its original imagining. This waste of 2 hours is its absolute inverse. The script is banal even for a popcorn flick, the humour, such as it is, flat to the point of feeling uncomfortable for the actors tasked to recite them, the characters cartoonish - even for what is at best a live action cartoon in and of itself - and the acting nightmarishly awful; even the usually reliable William Macy coasts on what could only be a self-referential parody of the milquetoast persona he knows the public expects of him by now. Travolta's input is particularly atrocious - one would think the man had never acted outside a high school play, though with the pablum substituting for dialog he was given to recite, perhaps he just decided it wasn't worth the effort. It's not a movie at all, in fact, just a series of flat, unrewarding, pedestrian skits strung together like nuggets of cheap costume jewellery along a slim thread of 2nd unit director establishing, stunt and scenery inserts - mostly (surprise) of 4 guys riding motorcycles. And even with its limited prospects overall, the climax and resolution could not have been more of an eye-rolling, impotently abortive cop-out. Just an abysmal waste of human and technical capital.

gibsonguy335 When you ride a motorcycle, sometimes it's really hot and sometimes it's really cold. Sometimes it rains and sometimes you get bugs smashed against your face shield and jacket. Occasionally you ride and everything is perfect (like the pictures you see on motorcycle ads). To a real motorcyclist, you are willing to put up with all those discomforts to enjoy the freedom of the ride. Motorcycles do not have climate control and a sound proof cabin with a built in entertainment system. People who need those things will never get motorcycling and they will never get this movie. This movie is about 4 middle aged guys who realize what they have been doing for the past 20 years is exactly what they will be doing for the next 20 years.....and then they will grow old and die. Doug, Bobby, Dudley and Woody make the decision that they are going to leave their continual, hum-drum existence for a week or two and do something different for once in their lives. Can they escape their mundane lives long enough to actually get free? People who are happy to run out their lives just doing the same thing over and over again will never get Wild Hogs. If there is a Doug or a Bobby or a Dudley or a Woody inside of you, you will love this movie. For anybody else, Wild Hogs will be a pointless waste of time they could have otherwise dedicated to doing more of the same thing over and over again.

SnoopyStyle Doug is a dentist who feels stymied by his life and his diet restrictions. Bobby is a wife-whipped plumber who has to return to work after a year of trying to write his book. Dudley is a bumbling computer programmer. Woody is broke getting divorced from his model wife. All four guys find relief riding their Harleys as the Wild Hogs. Woody suggests putting some real miles on their bikes. They get in trouble with a gay cop (John C. McGinley) and a motorcycle gang led by Jack (Ray Liotta). Dudley finds love with diner owner (Marisa Tomei).The first time McGinley appears is where the movie lost me. It is borderline offensive without actually being funny. The silly gay jokes keep coming along with a menagerie of other silly jokes. I did laugh a couple of time. Mostly I was laughing at how stupid the movie gets. I do feel sorry for the guys who seem to have a little bit of chemistry. If only they write some heart-felt material for them, this would be a good road movie. I usually like a good rood movie but this is too idiotic.

ssoniclee This film is one of the great comedies of modern film. It has lots and lots of gags and 99% are funny. Occasionally, there are one or two bad jokes that didn't make me laugh but nothing is perfect. The film is an enjoyable experience. Also, I was happy that it was only 1 1/2 hours long because that means that the film doesn't run on too long and overdo the jokes. The only bad things are that it takes a good 15-20 minutes to properly get into the film and that a few jokes are lacking in humour.Overall, I thought it was a great,enjoyable and hilarious film. I'd recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour.
