Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

areatw 'Wild Hogs' was a promising movie with exactly the type of storyline that was almost guaranteed to be funny, and it is in some parts. It does, however, feel like a missed opportunity. 'Wild Hogs' should have been a lot funnier, a lot more often.Judging this film on a level playing field, it's probably about average and just as funny as most comedy films I'll watch. Only 'Wild Hogs' had the potential to be better than that. For a road trip film, there appeared to be a severe lack of ideas. So much could have happened, but so little does.Overall, just another comedy. 'Wild Hogs' does have some funny scenes, but in a film like this I would have expected more.

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.

Python Hyena Wild Hogs (2007): Dir: Walt Becker / Cast: John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy, Ray Liotta: Entertaining comedy that touches down on the urge to be young again. John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy hit the road on motorcycles in a quest to live life. Travolta recently lost finances and his marriage. Allen is a workaholic dentist who feels non cool to his family. Lawrence is badgered by his wife and works a dead end job. Macy is a computer programmer afraid to approach women. Director Walt Becker has fun with the clichés with much humour mixed in as a sort of comic Easy Rider. He previously made the gross out Van Wilder but here the audience aim is much higher. Predictable elements including an encounter with a rival gang, which leads to a silly conclusion. This regards a violent showdown that is there because, rumour has it that modern audiences need such simplicity in plot solutions. Violence can be presented in a humorous manner but here it plays off corny. All four actors are quite different and come at the material with their own spin, which allows the film to appeal to an older audience. Ray Liotta is appropriate casting as the leader of the gang whom these guys tick off. It regards living life to the fullest or take time to devote to those whom are important. The result is a wild road comedy. Score: 7 / 10

J_Charles Mid life crisis meets biker road rage in a comedy with a star studded cast that had very few comedic moments for me.Tim Allen plays a dentist who wants to be known as a doctor and he gets no respect. Martin Lawrence is a henpecked husband who gets the nastiest plumbing jobs in the world. And he gets no respect. William H Macy provides most of the laughs as a geek who does not belong on a bike and you wonder how he met these guys in the first place. Oh yeah. He gets no respect. And there's John Travolta - the guy who has it all, money, fancy car, nice house, swimsuit model wife. But it's all leaving him; fast. And as a result, he gets no respect.So the middle aged men and their biker group, the Wild Hogs go on a cross America road trip on their bikes. Hilarity ensues.The movie feels like a sitcom stretched out over 2 hours. William H Macy is a great actor and he pulled in most of the laughter with his facial expressions and his awkwardness as a geek forced into the real world. The rest of the guys are playing broad caricatures. The town they visit is inhabited by the usual local yokels plus the beautiful owner of the diner, Marisa Tomei. (Marisa looks incredible by the way. Her presence kept me watching through the boring chili contest scene.) A lot of the movie feels predictable. You can see the set up a mile away. You can see the actors deliver their lines and then boom, off to the next one. Not a lot of imagination here. The direction was pretty uninspired. The writing, ditto. I've seen better episodes of Frasier.5/10
