Soulless, boring, formulaic and utterly convinced that its audience won't care.

Reviews for Wild Hogs
Top CriticSounds great, with this cast of men of a certain age on big scary two wheeled monsters. Unfortunately it only pulls it off in places.
04/13/07
Top CriticMind-sodomisingly mediocre family comedy.
04/14/07
Top CriticIf you can imagine City Slickers with bikes instead of horses and without the wit, the likable performances and Jack Palance, then you have a pretty good idea of what this movie is like.
04/21/07
Takes the goofy route through the material, with corny slapstick and hackneyed jokes, none of which are remotely funny.
03/17/07
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.
04/12/07
Top CriticA humiliating medley of ghastly slapstick stunts. Walt Becker is the author of this nonsense. He ought to be sued.
04/14/07
Top CriticThere's not a single funny joke in the entire film, unless your idea of humour involves characters repeatedly crashing into things.

a middle-age version of Billy Jack with a Benji plot
03/02/07
Actually manages a few decent comedic moments - almost in spite of itself.

I firmly believe that if the actors in a movie are having a good time, that sense of fun can potentially come off the screen and infect the audience. Wild Hogs, for me, was this kind of movie.
03/04/07
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.
08/18/07
Never fails to take the low road. It's a waste of celluloid, filled with potty humor, gay jokes and the unfortunate transformation of real actor William H. Macy into a living crash-test dummy.
03/01/07
In many ways, Wild Hogs is the worst type of movie - a cynical affair that means to rob its audience by promising a romping good time it has no intention of delivering. I really think a lot of the people involved ... should be ashamed.
03/09/07
Wild Hogs has little story and even less characterization to its stereotyped players.
02/27/07
Travolta has occasionally gotten down in slop like this before. Allen and Lawrence practically live there. But Macy, the guy from Fargo and Magnolia and Seabiscuit? Say it ain't so, Bill.
03/01/07
Among these pigs in a blanket of cliches, John Travolta is particularly cringe-worthy ...
03/14/07
A note to screenwriters everywhere regarding characters over 50 whose inability to use the Internet results in being trapped on a porn site (see Wild Hogs and Because I Said So among others): It’s not funny; please stop doing it.
03/01/07
Wild Hogs really doesn't spend much time on the road. Good thing, too, because after the guys are found sleeping side-by-side and skinny-dipping together, the writers must have run out of homosexual panic jokes.
03/03/07
The 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.
