I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreSlow pace in the most part of the movie.

... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View More'Wild Hogs' was a promising movie with exactly the type of storyline that was almost guaranteed to be funny, and it is in some parts. It does, however, feel like a missed opportunity. 'Wild Hogs' should have been a lot funnier, a lot more often.Judging this film on a level playing field, it's probably about average and just as funny as most comedy films I'll watch. Only 'Wild Hogs' had the potential to be better than that. For a road trip film, there appeared to be a severe lack of ideas. So much could have happened, but so little does.Overall, just another comedy. 'Wild Hogs' does have some funny scenes, but in a film like this I would have expected more.
... View MoreWhen you ride a motorcycle, sometimes it's really hot and sometimes it's really cold. Sometimes it rains and sometimes you get bugs smashed against your face shield and jacket. Occasionally you ride and everything is perfect (like the pictures you see on motorcycle ads). To a real motorcyclist, you are willing to put up with all those discomforts to enjoy the freedom of the ride. Motorcycles do not have climate control and a sound proof cabin with a built in entertainment system. People who need those things will never get motorcycling and they will never get this movie. This movie is about 4 middle aged guys who realize what they have been doing for the past 20 years is exactly what they will be doing for the next 20 years.....and then they will grow old and die. Doug, Bobby, Dudley and Woody make the decision that they are going to leave their continual, hum-drum existence for a week or two and do something different for once in their lives. Can they escape their mundane lives long enough to actually get free? People who are happy to run out their lives just doing the same thing over and over again will never get Wild Hogs. If there is a Doug or a Bobby or a Dudley or a Woody inside of you, you will love this movie. For anybody else, Wild Hogs will be a pointless waste of time they could have otherwise dedicated to doing more of the same thing over and over again.
... View MoreThis is so predictable, so nauseating that I can't believe these talented men (and women) made this pathetic stupid movie! The premise is, like, written by a 10 year old. The geography is totally out of sequence, mountains and then New Mexico and so forth. One rider has a leather 'helmet' which does nothing for safety. The plot, is there one, is very lame.On several occasions they crash a bike and then instantly they are riding again, no damage. Several times they are violently ejected off the bikes, no injury! I could go on and on. I ride motorcycles and it's nothing like this dumb wasted movie.I am so glad I didn't pay a cent to see it, other than the fact that I lost my time watching it.Pathetic in all ways, avoid it.
... View MoreBadly written, poorly directed, awkwardly paced mid-life crisis flick about four aging buddies who hit the road on motorcycles to get away from it all, and end up running into a notorious biker gang along the way. Johh Travolta plays totally against type as the whiniest of the bunch, and he is just dreadful. Martin Lawrence is not in his element here, so he is forgiven. Tim Allen is wasted, as he does not play well in this ensemble piece (although he did just fine in another ensemble flick, Galaxy Quest). And William Macy clearly was in it for the paycheck. He plays a mouse turned man, and ends up wrapped up in duct tape for one of the movie's worst scenes. He also gets to react to volcano-like chili. Big laughs. Not. Ray Liotta as the head of the biker gang is not the Ray Liotta we have come to know and love from dozens of hard-edged movies. Here, he plays a caricature of himself, with a loud bark but no bite. A surprise appearance by someone we all know from the distant past does nothing to improve this dud. And few of today's movie watchers will recognize the dude anyway.
