Wild Hogs Movie Review

Ranked #25,872 in Entertainment, #289,771 overall

Wild Hogs: 4 guys. 2000 miles. How wild can it get?

Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy star in Wild Hogs, the hysterically funny comedy about four weekend-warrior friends who decide to rev up their ho-hum suburban lives with a cross-country motorcycle adventure.

They don their leathers, fire up their hogs and throw caution and their cell phones to the wind as they hit the open highway. A lot can happen on the road to nowhere, including a run-in with the bad-to-the-bone Del Fuegos, a real biker gang who don't take kindly to the wannabes. Filled with hilarious misadventures, screwball situations and madcap mayhem, this laugh-out-loud comedy is a movie your whole family will go hog wild over.

Wild Hogs Editorial Review

Wild Hogs
(Widescreen Edition)

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.

recently saw this movie (yer i know) such a strong cast and great promise, but its rubbish, poor script and bad performances all round, i felt like i was being beaten up with a comedy bat - in a bad way!

I think a Return of the Wild Hogs would be good. They would return home by a different route. Maybe through San Fransico (Hell's Angles) , Las Vegas, etc.

To the above reviewer... You've got to be kidding me. Are you getting paid to write bs like that? It's a mind-numbing movie with horrendous acting - if you could call it that. I'd give it a zero if I could.

You must not get out much, or maybe you didn't get much of an education.

This movie gets a huge thumbs up from me. We saw it in the theater and it has to be one of the funniest films I've seen in years. Anyone will enjoy it, but those over 30 will appreciate it the most. This one is a MUST SEE!
