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.

Reviews for Wild Hogs
Top CriticIt’s bland and forgettable; it’ll probably do okay when it plays on a plane.
03/05/07
Top CriticThis movie stinks of exhaust and desperation.
03/02/07
Top CriticBoy, 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.
03/02/07
Top CriticPerhaps 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?
03/02/07
Top CriticWild Hogs isn't as jaw-droppingly awful as its trailers suggest.
03/02/07
Top CriticIt's a joyless cross-country romp in which the heroes confront crazy animals, lascivious hicks and rest-stop bathroom horrors.
03/02/07
Top Critic'A lot can happen on the road to nowhere,' reads the tagline on the poster for Wild Hogs, a comedy that also illustrates exactly how nothing can happen on the road to nowhere.
03/02/07
Top CriticWhat financial strings had to be pulled to get John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy to sign on for this second-class City Slickers?
03/02/07
Top CriticWild Hogs isn't wild so much as a mild evocation of better fish-out-of-water flicks.
03/02/07
Top CriticAllegedly, the picture was shot in picturesque New Mexico. Effectively, it might as well be picturesque New Liskeard.
03/02/07
Top CriticEminently forgettable.
03/02/07
Top CriticI'll take a crashing yet sincerely aimed failure any day over the by-the-numbers, lowbrow audience-pandering slickness of Wild Hogs.
03/02/07
Top CriticA formulaic laugh machine that's entirely predictable.
03/02/07
Top CriticThis is just another waste of time I'd really hate for you to undergo -- and pay for.
03/02/07
Top CriticThe film's a bumptious weekend ride: The engine could use tuning and the plugs are shot, but it gets you most of the way there.
03/02/07
Top CriticThe main thing about the guys in Wild Hogs -- the main source of the movie’s fumbling attempts at humor -- is that they’re not gay. Really. Seriously. No way.
03/02/07
Top CriticThe landscape of Wild Hogs is cluttered with the comic equivalent of suburban sprawl, an endless cyclorama of rehashed jokes and whiny complaint.
03/01/07
Top CriticThe movie frees you of the belief that making it in Hollywood requires finely honed skills. If the writer and director of this coarsely honed sitcom could get hired, then the studio doors must be wide open.
03/01/07
Top CriticThe gags are witless and surprisingly gross (insect splatter, feces disposal bags, inadvertent homosexual come-ons and the like). The four actors, each accustomed to being at the center, never develop any rhythm, any chemistry, any anything.
