Movie Info

A mismatched group of bored suburbanites longing to escape the stress of their daily lives and embrace the freedom of the open road finds that it takes more than polished chrome and leather jackets to truly experience the biker lifestyle in this revved-up road comedy starring John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy. Upon trading the comfort of their couches for the thunderous rumble of two-wheeled street machines, these four adventurous riders cross paths with the

This could have been a City Slickers on cycles. But it's an incredibly lazy movie, from the on-the-nose casting to the soundtrack ('70s vintage road rock) to the script to the scouting of locations.

It's bland and forgettable; it'll probably do okay when it plays on a plane.

This movie stinks of exhaust and desperation.

Boy, is this one lame wheezer of a movie. Wild Hogs actually feels as though it might take longer to watch than it did to write.

Perhaps it's not within the purview of a mere critic to question the judgment if not the sanity of Disney executives who green-lit this travesty, but who exactly did they envision to be the audience?

Wild Hogs isn't as jaw-droppingly awful as its trailers suggest.

I can only assume a bike wreck is much more gruesome than a car accident. Luckily, I have never seen one, but after watching Wild Hogs, I can imagine.

Perhaps I was in a good mood, perhaps my expectations were so rock bottom, but hell, I didn't hate it...

Disneyfied Easy Rider for the suburban set.

This isn't a movie with any meaningful insights to share about the heartfelt concerns of the over-forty set, but is rather an ill-conceived, "coming-of-age" style misadventure which could just as easily have revolved around some recent high school grads.

Extras on the disc include a good natured full-length audio commentary by director Walt Becker and screenwriter Brad Copeland.

Fluff aimed at conservative Middle America, a cynical go-with-the-demographic-trends movie that's shallow and stupid, but featuring big names guaranteeing box office success.

Claiming to be a comedy, but sans a single significant laugh, it's like a murder mystery without a suspect, an inspector, or a corpse. It starts off inoffensive and gets even more milquetoast from there.

gets too deeply mired in stale homophobic gags and cookie-cutter redemption to offer much more than mild amusement

Truly awful, monumentally inept, wholly unwatchable.

Wild Hogs is just okay for, I like watching it but I also feel embarassed when i do because of how cliche and dumb it is at many times.

Half-fun, half-lame, although a decent biker comedy overall. Script-wise, it's really lacking, but the cast and soundtrack keeps things enjoyable. I feel sorry for William H. Macy though, whose only job in the film is to provide some clownish slap-stick and comic relief. He sort of reminded me of a real-life Ned
