Reviews
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
areatw '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.
Paul CF This 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.
FatMan-QaTFM Wild Hogs grossed over $100M in three weeks. As a filmmaker, I'm gnashing my teeth and wailing over this news. How can canned nonsense like this continue to make money even after people have seen it and spread the word? Unless we've become a cruel nation that delights in pranking our fellow movie watchers, taste is something of the past. First Norbit, now this.John Travolta plays a lipstick wearing, saggy coward. Tim Allen is a boring nobody. William H. Macy plays a stereotypical quiet nerd. Martin Lawrence is a black guy who isn't very impressive and not terribly funny. Uhhhh...did this movie get typecast, or what?Hitting on a few high notes, one being the the OCC guys - kinda funny in the beginning, especially considering how silly they come across on their show. The other would be Marisa Tomei. Totally doesn't look 43 and was very cute and quirky-charming throughout the film. Really the only talent there. I guess you have to keep that SAG card somehow.Biggest annoyance would be gay joke trends. I'm not going to go into my "Hollywood is two-faced" rant, but Hollywood is two-faced, claiming to be liberal and supportive of gays, and then using idiotic gay humor for cheap laughs. Worst of all, Brad Copeland wrote many Arrested Development episodes. I thought better of him.
J_Charles Mid life crisis meets biker road rage in a comedy with a star studded cast that had very few comedic moments for me.Tim Allen plays a dentist who wants to be known as a doctor and he gets no respect. Martin Lawrence is a henpecked husband who gets the nastiest plumbing jobs in the world. And he gets no respect. William H Macy provides most of the laughs as a geek who does not belong on a bike and you wonder how he met these guys in the first place. Oh yeah. He gets no respect. And there's John Travolta - the guy who has it all, money, fancy car, nice house, swimsuit model wife. But it's all leaving him; fast. And as a result, he gets no respect.So the middle aged men and their biker group, the Wild Hogs go on a cross America road trip on their bikes. Hilarity ensues.The movie feels like a sitcom stretched out over 2 hours. William H Macy is a great actor and he pulled in most of the laughter with his facial expressions and his awkwardness as a geek forced into the real world. The rest of the guys are playing broad caricatures. The town they visit is inhabited by the usual local yokels plus the beautiful owner of the diner, Marisa Tomei. (Marisa looks incredible by the way. Her presence kept me watching through the boring chili contest scene.) A lot of the movie feels predictable. You can see the set up a mile away. You can see the actors deliver their lines and then boom, off to the next one. Not a lot of imagination here. The direction was pretty uninspired. The writing, ditto. I've seen better episodes of Frasier.5/10
