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.
Petrol-headed fifty-somethings into Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers will probably relate to some of the funnier scenes. The rest, including pre-teens, are advised to avoid it like el plago.
This collection of gags on male menopause, genuinely offensive gay-cop jokes and bumper-sticker life lessons is beyond intolerable.
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.
Instead of opening up the throttle, Hogs ends up idling and spreading exhaust.
Becker is handy with a camera and totally knows where the film's bread is buttered, focusing all his energy and attention on his four stars.
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.
No.
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
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.
Truly awful, monumentally inept, wholly unwatchable.
You go into Wild Hogs with low expectations, and it easily fulfills them.

I just think this was a fantasy holiday for the cast to live out and not much more, I can't believe they were paid for this, we'll be seeing Travolta as a pilot in a film soon I reckon, just doing what he loves and getting paid for it. The bikes are cool and so is the idea for a real life holiday but its kinda lame seeing big names getting paid huge amounts for this kind of 'work' whilst trying to desperately regain their youth and fame for real at the same time.
