• It will never win any Oscars. This film is great for cheering up and nonstop laughs. posted on 29 Aug 2009

  This movie had a pretty weird cast. Weird characters. Weird everything. But the movie works out really well. It's actually good to see Tim Allen playing in something else besides the boring Christmas and family movies. The acting is very weird...but it really suited the characters they were playing. The plot itself is original and the whole idea is original. The plot is just 4 friends setting off on an adventure. Very simple and entertaining. John Travolta said in an interview that he had a blast doing this movie. He hasn't said that since Pulp Fiction and that's saying something.Overall a very entertaining and hilarious movie. My theater was crying with laughter. Everyone around me was laughing at some joke. Good for a laugh. If you're in the mood for laughter, see it. 8/10

• Mild Hogs posted on 27 Aug 2009

  When you see a cast that includes John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy, Marisa Tomei, and Ray Liotta, you may assume that the movie is worth watching. That assumption would be wrong. There is nothing here worthy of 90 minutes of your life. The jokes are forced and unfunny. The sight gags are ho-hum. Any character development is totally absent.Our four middle-aged heroes take a motorcycle road trip to, sort of, recapture their lost wild youth. We don't really get to know any of them, or why they are friends. They first encounter a totally unfunny gay highway patrolman; these scenes are really forced, and I was embarrassed for the cast.They eventually meet up with the inevitable bad guys: the Del Fuegos motorcycle gang that more and more takes on the flavor of the stupid motorcycle gang from the Any Which Way ... movies.It must have simply been a big paycheck for these big names stars to make fools of themselves. None of the name actors are up to form. Even Peter Fonda, in a cameo toward the end, seems to be reading from a cue card.A good one to avoid.

• okay posted on 27 Aug 2009

  this movie had its funny parts. the ending where the motor cycle gangs fight was just stupid. honestly it was predictable in a good way. but this movie was filled with gay scenes. there was a gay cop. gay motorcycle guys. a guy Singer. and lots of male butt's. and men scared of there wife almost forgot SKINNI DIPING. yeah thats right Tim Allen martin Lawrence John travulta and William h Macy all naked in a pool. i honestly thought the movie would be Hilarius but it was honestly just a movie. i thought it was a movie with a lot of stars just so everyone would watch it and it turns out its JUST PLIAN OKAY. I was honestly very disappointed in the movie could of been funnier. i did like the stupidity that each character had a little bit of.

• one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time posted on 23 Aug 2009

  I used to think Ray Liotta was one of the best actors out there. If you saw him in 'Good Fellas,' then you probably will be very disappointed. He plays an absolute buffoon. William H. Macy embarrasses himself with self-deprecating and ridiculously stupid acts. This guy is not a programmer. He is a retard. Martin Lawrence did not belong in the movie. Travolta had too much of a mid-life crisis. The biker gang Liotta leads is ludicrous. The only way this movie could have been better is if they had all performed a ritual suicide at the end Jonestown style. I give it a 2 for the mere fact that I actually watched it all the way to the end.

• I could not stop laughing. posted on 23 Aug 2009

  I got to see wild hogs and it was the funniest movie I have seen in A long time. I laughed all the way through it. The hole movie theater was loud because people where laughing so much. I have to go see this movie A couple more times and I will have to buy the DVD when it comes out. This movie should stay at the top of the box office for A long time. All the people played there parts perfect. I even have A friend that's rides A bike as bad as William Macy did in the movie. The singer guy was hella funny I almost wet my pants when I saw that part. My one of my friends was almost in tears laughing so much. Ray Liotta is A great actor I liked him in this part. I think he did A great job he really pulled it off. The cop part was also hella funny. That actor did A great job. Well thats what i think about the movie.crazyjim

• Short on laughs posted on 13 Aug 2009

  I was disappointed with the film - It had a lot of potential but frankly missed the mark. By a long shot. It was not only slow to start, to establish the characters and the point, but the gaps between actual gags that raised more than a faint smile were huge. The majority of the film rotated around gay jokes which could be spotted by a blind man a mile away. But the saving grace was that the usual puns concerning the only black member of the group were avoided. Another disappointing factor was the 'oh so didn't see that coming' policeman - who was just Dr Cox, from Scrubs, in a policeman's uniform, almost as though Scrubs were filming next door and the actor didn't have time to get out of the Dr Cox character. Anyway, I believe that I have said enough - enjoy the film.

• One of the best comedies in the past twelve months..... posted on 09 Aug 2009

  Being an avid middle aged Harley Rider, I loved the movie, as did the rest of the sold out audience at the Sneak Preview. Not many flicks get a full round of applause at the end... This one did, and it was well deserved.The cast played very well off each other and all contributed equally.Not much subtlety and no hidden meaning.... Just pure entertainment!You know a movie is good when there is unanimous laughter throughout the movie. This one had tons of laughs & great sight gags. I was worried that they were showing all the funny stuff in the previews, but that isn't the case. The movie will keep you laughing.... The only comedy to surpass this one recently was Borat!Go see the movie.... You will enjoy it!

• really funny posted on 07 Aug 2009

  this movie was extremely funny, i loved it and would go watch it again. all the cast did an excellent job,they were a different mix of actors, but they really were compatible in this movie. i would recommend this movie for everyone to see.the movie wasn't a bit boring it kept me entertained threw the whole movie.i just couldn't stop laughing. William H.Macy,martin Lawrence,Tim Allen and John Travolta were fantastic. this movie is an old fashioned fun comedy, the laughs just keep on coming.this movie also stars Marrissa Tomei, and Ray Liotta this movie is packed with actors. if you are looking for a good comedy to go see check this movie out, you wont be disappointed.

• So let me get this straight.... posted on 05 Aug 2009

  You Hollywood you're telling me that all I need to do to make a comedy is fill a movie with overlapping interchangeable jokes one after the other with no time spent trying to deal with anything real deep, or give the audience a breather to absorb the plot and I can still,... you're telling me that I can still pass it off as a success just because a few Gen X morons got their 2 hour belly laugh at the theaters? Well good for you! First off let me just say that your movie sucked. Your formula for making other movies sucks as well, and if you're going to make another movie that tripe, and predictable again you might as well make it a cartoon. Quentin Tarantino spent all that time making Pulp Fiction which revived John Travolta's acting careers, and what does the guy do? He uses the career boost to star in a hour and a half popcorn movie with annoying jokes about crap in a bag.Ya ever wonder why the negative comments are so short? It's because when someone see's something bad they spend most of the page saying how it sucked then they give up explaining the rest stop mid-way through the review. I too would like to stop mid-way through this review. It takes up time. I don't know if I have the time to explain how I felt nothing for the characters seeing as how I can't relate to someone in an alternate universe when someone bumps into a sign, gets punched or get launched by a bull every 3 minutes. I don't know if I have the time to explain that I could see the gas getting ignited, or the awkward scenario that would follow after they took their undies off in the lake seconds before it actually happened. I don't know if I have time to explain how the hi-definition or whatever made the colors of the screen so bright was more distracting than it was cool. I don't know if I have time to explain why the DVD has an alternate ending when either way their both just as pointless. I don't know if I have time to explain that the bikers weren't intimidating in the slightest. You see I live in Salinas... we have real douche bags here. I don't know it... wait that's pretty much it.

• A funny movie posted on 30 Jul 2009

  "Wild Hogs" is funny and very entertaining! You will laugh real hard! I certainly did! It is not original in any sense,but still the main characters deliver! It is fun to see most of the cast holding back! Martin Lawrence always tends to get over the top (which I like personally) but somehow manages to keep in line with the other actors. The cast makes it believable that the "Wild Hogs" really are friends! When I heard that Ray Liotta was the leader of a real bad ass biker gang I feared that the movie would turn in an action movie (Ray Liotta is an expert in portraying villains)! To my surprise they didn't let it go that far! Ray Liotta is just as low key as the other actors! No guns or weapons are used,just fists! You know that it will end well for the Hogs! And that is what we like to see! A wonderful feel good movie!

• an escape from reality with a funny cast! posted on 28 Jul 2009

  I would have to admit i was contemplating on whether i should buy this movie based on the reviews,boy I'm glad i did't!This kind of movie gives what i believe is a sense of escape or freedom of reality!We have four guys who basically hate there lives and want some release from everything ,and was it a fun ride to see Travolta,Allen,Lawrence,and Macy ride out wit each other.This movie also gives good examples of friendship and how there bond wouldn't break four anything.In my opinion take some time out to see this movie on a nice day where your relaxed it'll get your mind off the real world for about an hour and a half trust me you wont be disappointed!

• As seen through the eyes of an old biker. posted on 26 Jul 2009

  Did you ever feel like you worked ever so hard to like a movie? Tonight we saw the comedy movie about middle aged businessmen taking a motorcycle trip through the west to get away from it all. People are used to the cutting edge humor of Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, but this movie is mostly slapstick humor. It reminds me of Blazing Saddles except that no one laughs. If you liked Blazing Saddles, you might like this. The rating of sexually offending is a ploy to increase the box office. You wind up wondering how a good cast like this couldn't see the jokes were duds. John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, Wm. H. Macy. In his supporting role Ray Liotta was only fair as the leader of the bad-boy motorcycle club. Perhaps there were too many late night parties during the filming.

• Worse than Ghost Rider posted on 18 Jul 2009

  I came out of Ghost Rider somewhat pleased. I mean, it wasn't very good, and it was a good way to spend a Friday night. It got my mind off of some things, and was worth the ticket price... but this movie was honestly a waste of time. The whole movie seemed like a slightly more slap-stick version of RV. Wild Hogs seemed like a kids movie, with many unfunny sexual puns. The only funny parts involved Kyle Gass or Dr. Cox from scrubs. The jokes seemed too mature for such an immature movie. Had the movie had a better plot, better development, and such, the jokes could have been very funny, had they been re-tweaked. It was, pretty much, as jay and silent bob would say, one big 90 minute long gay joke.

• Nice movie! posted on 14 Jul 2009

  First review i'm writing here so.. be nice ;)I liked the movie in a "soft, family comedy"-kinda way.. WHICH ISN'T A BAD THING !! 'cause they to can be fun to watch from time to time..I guess i just like the whole: 4 guys in their midlife-crisis go on a trip to find their youthful selves back.. and they really picked out great actors to.. John Travolta and Tim Allen are really the kinda guys you would expect to do something like this in real life :Dalthough the part of Martin Lawrence (nothing against him!! great actor) but when you're making a movie with guys in their midlife-crisis.. why go for Lawrence?? why not go for.. Sam Jackson?In short: nice film, to watch at home on DVD.. isn't really worth the trip to the theater but good movie to watch at home with some cunning turns en twists

• A Funny movie!!! posted on 14 Jul 2009

  Before I start this review, I must say that I went to watch this movie since I love motorbikes & Harley Davidsons so I was a bit biased. Was not too sure about the movie per se. However, I got a pleasant surprise. The movie is fun & entertaining, all actors play a good part & their characters are different and fun! The story starts with 4 middle-ages men who decide to re-unite with their motorbikes and go for a long ride across America! The adventures and mishaps they encounter are funny sometimes hilarious....so I would recommend this movie if you are looking for a good funny movie, which makes you feel good.Of course,if you are a biker, you will enjoy the movie a bit more....

• Words fail me posted on 12 Jul 2009

  I felt insulted by this movie (I hesitate to use the term "film" here). Not only as a movie lover, but as a biker as well.Far too many clichés. They are all there, too. The RUB (Rich Urban Biker), the hard-drinking tattooed bad-ass, the wannabe bad-ass. Nowhere in sight is the ordinary blue-collar Harley rider such as myself. It even had the obligatory tasteless gay cop jokes.Plus, the appearance of the cycle-whores from OCC, playing their usual roles, themselves-as-themselves. Please. Haven't we had enough of these two? They have their own show already!As well, there was the old "trickles of gas from the bad guys' bikes blows up their bar" routine, which, aside from being chemically and mechanically (given the nature of Harley's fuel valves) impossible, has just been done to death. The huge explosion in the action-comedy just seems like a last-ditch effort to save a sinking ship.Let it go, please. Bikers don't need a worse reputation from movies such as this. Do yourself a favor and rent Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town.

• not bad but not that great posted on 06 Jul 2009

  this film wild hogs looks OK in my opinion really brings these kind of elements together in terms of the tepestry of actors that come in to bring it in this piece. But at the end leaves the viewer in a stump sort of place because he doesn't know whether he wants to be groused out by the flesh hogs or impressed by the acting skill level of the movie. The storyline doesn't sound that strong and this is not anything I would want my kids to go and see. So not really worth the monye in my opinion go and see Christina richies new flick at least she and samuel can draw a bigger crowd and a thick story with some rope laced around it. so that is that is all I have to say

• Total crap posted on 02 Jul 2009

  This movie was total crap, I can't believe I watched it through to the end. I expected reasonable acting and modestly good humor given the cast. Instead a never ending list of open doors and clichés, my 12-yr old nephew could've written this scenario. Unoriginal by any standard. 4 guys in a midlife crisis hit the road on motorbikes in order to regain their lost youth. If that theme is not lame enough, the concept is diluted further by a series of slapstick like-events turning them from losers to heroes of a sleepy provincial town. I cannot believe Travolta and Macy lent themselves for this stupid scenario. Do not watch unless you are in the 10-13 age range and/or enjoy watching the A-team re-runs.

• A Pleasant Surprise posted on 28 Jun 2009

  I want all people to know before reading this, that I hate Tim Allen as an actor. John Travolta has gone down the pipe. Martin Lawrence doesn't do anything for me. And William H. Macy is a good actor but is in absolutely nothing these days. The only reason I went was because my friends dragged me into going. At the beginning, within the first 5 minutes, the film opens with a little snippet of all the character's lives. These were all on the commercials, so I didn't really laugh at first. But the movie slowly picked up, getting more and more funny as it moved forward. By the time they got to the town, all the jokes were outright hilarious. And despite the little quirks about the movie that I didn't like, I found it to be a good comedy. If you want to get some laughs, go see this movie.

• An enjoyable flick where four talented actors pull out a few laughs. posted on 26 Jun 2009

  We got this from the library because my wife wanted to watch it. THe story of four guys that choose to get away from their somewhat dysfunctional lives and hit the open road together as 'wild hogs'.I'll keep this brief. It's one of those films that you watch not because its very entertaining or very funny, but because it's a time out from life to enjoy four talented actors in a fun movie.It's clear that the intention was purely to get together and make a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, but has a few genuine laughs here and there without resorting (most of the time) to offensive humour. It proves that fun movies still exist and that the more mature generation still has it; and that natural talent can and does trump a forced expression and a cheesy line.Wild Hogs go for a ride, Wild Hogs get involved in questionable activity, wild hogs in-inadvertently make a few enemies. Q minor conflict and a happy ending.Mild warning here- this is not a family film. It an 'easy reading' film that does not have a complex story and its been made just for fun, but nonetheless it contains some mild language that I would not want a pre-teen or child to be exposed to. Regardless of what they hear in school: SOB, the four letter s and b word and three letter a words are all present. I don't know if this is a 'cool' American thing or not but I don't think it's necessary to have any swearing or foul language in period. Why can't they say 'son of a gun' 'suckers' or another variety of word.The comedy is 'fun' comedy ranging mostly from typical to amusing physical comedy. I think I laughed heartily two or three times towards the end of the film. Physical slapstick is OK, but in order for it to be really affective it needs to be done by professionals who know how to use it. I draw your attention to the original pink panther.It's sad that the 'black' humour has daughters looking like 'Eskimo hookers' after they have used the S word twice. I like Martin Lawrence, I believe that he can sell a joke without crudity.All that said, it's a fun movie that will draw a few giggles. For me it is Tim Allen that wins the day, along with Ray Liotta who really excels at playing a Psycho. Observant viewers will notice two of the actors from the TV series 'Lost' as well as small parts by other named and acclaimed actors.Conclusion: fun movie, restricted audience.
