Editorial Review:
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.

Description of Wild Hogs [Blu-ray]:
A coming-of-age story starring a bunch of fiftysomething stars rather than teenage actors, Wild Hogs is a well-intentioned comedy starring John Travolta (Woody), Tim Allen (Doug), Martin Lawrence (Bobby), and William H. Macy (Dudley) as a group of Midwesterners facing their own versions of mid-life crises. They decide to escape their frazzled personal lives and rejuvenate themselves by taking a road trip on their slick hogs. But their journey is less Easy Rider than it is Three Amigos (plus one). As individual actors, each lead is a formidable star. But throw them all together into one crammed screenplay full of scatological humor and uncomfortable homosexual gags and it doesn't quite work. The actors spend so much time trying to outdo each other on screen that they aren't believable as friends, much less comrades. Walt Becker (National Lampoon's Van Wilder) offers minimal direction on a film that could've used some reining in, especially during scenes between Macy and Marisa Tomei (as a diner owner who inexplicably falls for him). There are promises of some interesting vignettes when Ray Liotta shows up as Jack, the leader of a real motorcycle gang. When Jack threatens to break Dudley's legs, Dudley counters, "I'm a computer programmer! I don't need my legs." Without missing a beat, Jack says, "Fine, we'll break his hands." It's not that the lines are so funny, but they way Liotta delivers them that adds some life to this flailing comedy. Unfortunately, his scenes with the rest of the cast are all too few. --Jae-Ha Kim

Wild Hogs [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Some found it corny, I LOVE this movie!!!
2009-12-03 - So, I've been spending the last hour going through old purchases from Amazon, writing various reviews of every item ever bought. I bought this disc about 6-7 months ago, but apparently never wrote a review. The reason I say all this is that I find it ironic that this review request was sent to me from Amazon, as I was watching part of this movie for the ump-teenth time last night, and finished it this morning at breakfast. Little did I know that I would be requested to write a review about this film from Amazon. So, here goes...

THIS MOVIE IS GREAT!!! It's got an amazing line-up, good story, and is funny as hell! I love motorcycles, and this movie is just too fun to pass up. I recommend that everyone who enjoys motorcycles and comedy watch this movie at least once.

Blu-Ray Wild Hogs worth the upgrade
2009-10-30 - I owned Wild Hogs on DVD and upgraded to Blu-Ray. Well worth the upgrade with outstanding sound and picture. I would give my highest grade for the difference.

Mid-Life Laugh
2009-10-24 - This movie is really funny and it's a feel good movie too which is always nice. If you're over 40 and have ever walked into a Harley Davidson dealership wishing for a bike, then this movie is for you. I love the chemestry between the actors and they all did a great job. Lawrence and Macy are especially funny. Great Easy Rider moment at the end. I'm purchasing this movie and adding it to my funny, feel good movie collection. I loved City Slickers and never really thought about a comparison between that movie to Wild Hogs. I enjoyed both movies and that's good enough for me. Wild Hogs makes me laugh enough to want my own copy.

Wild
2009-10-22 - To the button-down collar types who ride the merry-go-round daily: try riding a Harley on a road trip to stir your soul. Even the real deal freedom-loving, hit the road-type hogs and hogettes should get a lot of laughs out of this one. It rates high on my list of all-time favorite fun movies! Individually, these guys are great, and, collectively, they are hilarious. The movie was filmed in New Mexico and adds local flavor and charm to the mix.

Great cast-hysterical!
2009-09-08 - Honestly, I wanted to see this for some time and thought it MIGHT be pretty funny. But I didnt think it would be THIS funny. I must admit, William H Macys character was my favorite. He was hysterical! And all the guys going through their mid life crises together, they made for a great cast and some very funny moments. I dont remember actually laughing this much during a movie in a long time. A few times I even had tears in my eyes. As soon as it was over I said I have got to have this movie. (I saw the movie when it played on tv) I definately think this movie is a must have.
