Description of Wild Hogs (Widescreen Edition):
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 (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
wildly entertaining 
2008-09-03 - I was satisfied with Wild Hogs, despite not watching the entire thing, because of the actors who star in the film. If you like Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence, you'll like this movie a lot and think it's hilarious. If you don't like those guys, you're probably better off not watching it. Simple as that.
Family fun entertainment 
2008-08-29 - This is a movie that the whole family could enjoy. Comedy and action mix together. PQ and AQ are outstanding. This on of the best catalog out there for blu in terms of picture and sound.
Funny! 
2008-08-10 - Worth watching just for the actors themselves...who are some of my favorites...movie was predictable, but still provided some laughs and an evening of mindless entertainment.
Wild Hots
2008-08-02 - Wild Hogs was a very funny movie. It centered around 4 family guys who got together and rode their Harleys but were not all that wild that decided to take a ride across country and their adventure.
It was plain and simple fun...
2008-07-31 - And that was just what it was supposed to be. Nothing wrong with that.
