Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: Wild Hogs is a dreadful combination of fish-out-of-water jokes, slapstick, and lazy stereotypes.

Rated: 12A [See Full Rating] for crude and sexual content, and some violence.

Runtime: 1 hr 40 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:13-04-2007

Synopsis: Walter Becker (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VAN WILDER) directs this tale of four friends who hit the open road. Woody (John Travolta), Doug (Tim Allen), Bobby (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley (William H. Macy)... Walter Becker (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VAN WILDER) directs this tale of four friends who hit the open road. Woody (John Travolta), Doug (Tim Allen), Bobby (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley (William H. Macy) are middle-aged suburbanite buddies stuck in a rut. Doug, a dentist, yearns for respect from his pre-teen son and everyone else in his life. Bobby is a henpecked husband and unhappy plumber. Computer programmer Dudley is a flop with the ladies. And Woody, who seemed to have it all, has just lost everything. Each weekend the foursome takes to the streets of Cincinnati on their motorcycles as the "Wild Hogs." With his world secretly falling apart, Woody hits on an idea: a "Wild Hogs" road trip to the Pacific Coast. Soon, the four are embarking on the adventure of their lives. But when they stumble upon a roadside dive in New Mexico filled with "real" bikers and raise the ire of Jack (Ray Liotta), who is the leader of the Del Fuegos, the Wild Hogs discover that they are in for a greater adventure than they expected, including a showdown in the sleepy New Mexico town of Madrid. Travolta, Allen, Lawrence, and Macy have fun here, from the verbal barbs to the physical comedy, and Liotta works surprisingly well as a "real" biker who is disgusted and insulted by these weekenders. The perpetually effervescent Marisa Tomei appears as a Madrid local who catches Dudley's eye, and John C. McGinley is an overly enthusiastic highway patrolman repeatedly encountered by the foursome. Watch for an all too brief appearance from EASY RIDER star Peter Fonda, and an amusing segment from Ty Pennington of EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER. Despite the star power in this film, which was shot on location in New Mexico, it's the custom bikes and open road that really shine. [More]

one of those lowest common denominator movies that aims only for easy laughs and a quick paycheck for its main actors

A film you'll want to see twice to catch all of the punchlines, "Wild Hogs" is a great ride down the comedy highway.

OK, so Wild Hogs is predictable at best. ... There are some laughs to be found.

This bumpy buddy comedy stays in low gear for almost its entire journey. ... As the leader of a pack of redneck bikers, hammy Ray Liotta is so nasty, even his tattoos have a record.

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

Sure, the humour is broad and slap sticky, and many of the situations sophomoric and preposterous, but I still found myself smiling throughout "Wild Hogs."

This contemptuously formulated comedy, about four middle-age-crisis-suffering men going on cross country motorcycle road trip, isn't worth the film stock it was shot on.

Travolta could do more good for his career by affixing buxom mud-flaps to his jowls and hauling an eighteen-wheeler cross-country.

Undoubtedly more fun to make than to watch, these wheezy city slickers are un-easy riders.

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.

An especially lame comedy based on nothing but a situation. The humor is farce or slapstick, so character development doesn't matter. Establish the types, put them in one crazy mix-up after another and you're done.

An easy target to criticize given its over-the-hill, homophobic, below-the-belt, yet not altogehter unbelievable contrivances. But Macy, Liotta and Tomei keep it real.

How prophetic of Tim Allen to say in the film's opening, 'I don't think I've been out of Cincinnati in over 12 years.' Wishful thinking. Next time go for 13!

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.

The laughs may be more sporadic, but they still come. And sometimes that is about all anyone can wish for. Just make sure to check that brain at home -- you won't be needing it.

... an indolent, PG-13, Disney "biker" flick that does for comedies what Exxon did for Prince William Sound.

A blasé road comedy with less than five funny moments in total but plenty of tired gay jokes to pass around.

Well, it's been 15 years since City Slickers so it's about time someone would rip it off and hope nobody notices.
