Wild Hogs (2007)

Although I though this was a little slow in the very beginning and some of the earlier gags just silly, I found myself laughing throughout and the laughs kept coming louder and harder as the movie progressed. Tim Allen and William Macy shined in this. Macy's character being particularly well done. Travolta played the tough guy in the group but he was no match for the real bad guys they ran into. This movie is studded with Televions stars. Jill Hennesy is terrific as Allen's wife and she isn't in this enough. Stars from Lost and Scrubs appear too. Some of the situations are incredibly funny, such as when Macy convinces the other to go skinny dipping. The conflict ending is a bit of a surprise, but an enjoyable one and don't forget to watch the credits. They are hilarious. Overall this is a real hoot so 10 stars.

Fmovies: So last night i went and saw a sneak preview of this movie. I figured it would be like a lot of recent mainstream comedies where all the funny parts were in the commercial. Not True. I started laughing within the first 5 minutes and didn't stop for almost the rest of the movie. Same goes for my mother, who in her laughter accidentally spit soda all over the man in front of her, to my 11 year old brother. I would warn you if you are considering taking kids under the age of 8 there is a surprising amount of profanity (when i went i thought it was a kids movie) and sexual humor. I would say go see it in theaters, it is one of the funniest mainstream comedies i have seen in a while.

Like so many others in the Theater I could not stop laughing. Even when tears were abundant running down my cheeks and my side hurt. Luckily everyone else was just as loud with laughter so I was not the only laughing fool in the place. With this group I didn't know quite what to expect as sometimes they are funny and sometimes not so much. The antics and the character actors in this film was PURE genius. It has the type of humor for everyone. Must see and Must DVD buy. Glad to see at least one good movie for 2007. Tim Allen and John Travolta who would have thought ? The big surprise in the film was William Macey. I din't realize the guy could be that funny. He played to comic goof and pulled it off with flying colors. Hats off to all.

Wild Hogs fmovies. I just got back from the theater and I gotta say, Wild Hogs was hilarious!It's a great mid-life-crisis type movie. Good, plain old funny. Making straight-up funny jokes like peeing on the side of the road and phrases like "...If we're gonna drink p***, we're gonna drink it cold!".

A couple hilarious scenes with Ray Liotta as a VERY bad boy as he usually plays and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs). And he looked VERY good in that highway patrolman uniform.

I would have liked to have heard Tim Allen let out one of those simian growls like on Home Improvement and seen Jon Travolta dance a little. Of all the roles in the movie, I think William H. Macy got the best one. He had the best jokes and physical comedy.

So ignore the and 'professional' critics and ask someone who actually saw it

Being an avid middle aged Harley Rider, I loved the movie, as did the rest of the sold out audience at the Sneak Preview. Not many flicks get a full round of applause at the end... This one did, and it was well deserved.

The cast played very well off each other and all contributed equally.

Not much subtlety and no hidden meaning.... Just pure entertainment!

You know a movie is good when there is unanimous laughter throughout the movie. This one had tons of laughs & great sight gags.

I was worried that they were showing all the funny stuff in the previews, but that isn't the case. The movie will keep you laughing.... The only comedy to surpass this one recently was Borat!

Go see the movie.... You will enjoy it!

I attended a pre-release screening of the movie in Philadelphia, and I went in expecting a lot of zany sequences, funny violence and a truckload of laughs, and I wasn't disappointed.

Messrs. Travolta, Allen, Lawrence and Macy fit their parts well, and while the story doesn't demand a lot from the actors, they are good as middle-aged professionals tired of their boring lives. The film's theme is a road-trip across America on Harley-Davidson's, with leather jackets ("Wild Hogs" is what they call themselves) and all the other paraphernalia. The whole movie is littered with stereotypes and clichéd characters and plots, and this lends an air of predictability to it. Some people might say that it's closer to an animation, given the generous helpings of crashes and falls, but then I didn't find it to be a put-off because it doesn't pretend to be an action film. You fall, you look funny, you get back up, and story moves on.

At the outset, I thought that there might be a resemblance to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, with it's concept of two tired guys out to discover the American Dream, but it isn't so. The humour is rib-tickling at times, and mostly slapstick. Among individual performances, nobody really steals the screen, but the overall chemistry between the Wild Hogs is good. Ray Liotta plays the bad guy with an overdose of menace, and Marisa Tomei did a good job of looking pretty. Some of the cinematography is breathtaking, but for a road trip across America, there was very little of variety in location.

I won't advise spending $15 on it in a theater, but it'll be a fun watch with friends, when the DVD comes out, much like how I would judge Eurotrip.
