   Lots of slap-stick fun... this is a comedy - not supposed to have a big dramatic story line. The whole theator laughed out loud over and over! You can tell that they had fun making the movie. Ended up with a message - don't be a poser & stand up for those you love.

   steve k you saw this movie at an advance screening but you are bitching about ticket prices? aren't advance screenings free? Only in america, people bitching about free stuff.
   
   and josh, is it any surprise to you that the storyline is predictable? I dont think Disney was going for some Memento-type unique devliery of plot development with this one. . . .Cant we just appreciate films for what they are designed to be? Feel good comedies with mass appeal?

   So you're saying as long as we expect the movie to be bad, then it's ok for it to suck? That doesn't make sense.
   
   For the record though, I gave this a positive rating. I'd say that's appreciating it for what it is.
   
   But I don't think we should be giving out free passes out for things that pander to the lowest common denominator. Just because your mom likes it doesn't mean it's good. It just means your mom likes it.

   1. what i said was "I dont think Disney was going for some Memento-type unique devliery of plot development with this one." I was addressing the predictability of the plot you found to be "overly structured." I made no comment about the film overall being good or bad. I haven't seen the whole movie, only the 99 clips Disney has released. And they look funny.
   
   2. That being said, it aint my kind of movie either, but I think it's sad how people want to rail movies because they "pander to the lowest commen denominator." Not saying you railed it, you gave it a 3/5, above average. But guess what? Movies such as this, and many others with a similar target demo, pander to the lowest common denominator so they can make money. So people like you have a reason to wake up in the morning and continue your quest to become a poor man's Harry Knowles.
   
   Still love you though man. And your mom.

   Well at least someone loves my mom.
   
   Clearly Disney wasn't aiming very high with the film. That's true. So? Again, that doesn't excuse it. If I set out to make a dumb movie, and I make a dumb movie, does that make the movie less dumb?
   
   No.
   
   What's that cliche quote? I may be laying in the gutter but at least I'm looking up at the stars. Something like that. Wild Hogs is lying in the gutter, and looking at sludge around it's feet.
   
   It is entirely possible to make a film that appeals to the lowest common denominator without being completely creatively bankrupt. In fact, you can make quite a good film that way.
   
   Spider-Man for instance, is excellent and yet appeals to the unwashed masses. Pixar is also very good at this.
   
   So stop making excuses for Wild Hogs. It's not worth the trouble.
   
   And I have no desire to be Harry Knowles. He's great at what he does, and I cannot do and have no desire to do what he can do. I am however, poor. So you're half right.

   Um... maybe if you looked ABOVE the comments section where the review of the film is... instead of in the comments section... you might find a review?
   
   Just a thought.

   I thought this movie was hilarious!!!! I being in my mid 40's can relate to most of this content. There were plenty of off the wall slapstick scenes which were not over or under acted. The ending had the best twist that noone would expect. This was one of the better movies put out this year. Although, I think that this is the type of movie that is AWESOME the first time, but will wear thin watching again.

   This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt by the time the movie was over. The movie was full of funny scenes. The entire theatre was laughing and I would pay to go see the movie again!!!

   My husband and I saw the movie Saturday night and we laughed along with the whole theatre. I thought it was very funny and I am glad that we went and saw it. I have been recommending it to everyone I know.
   I would go and see it again, right down to running the credits was funny!!!!

   Saw 'Wild Hogs' today....A definate must see in my books.
   
   Yeah, some parts are just dull & overdone - HOWEVER, the other scenes make up for it. The 4 main characters are awesome. If it wasn't for the 4 - then it wouldnt have been so good. The 13 people in the theatre were all laughing & enjoying it. I'd pay to see it again!
   
   When it comes out on DVD, i am buying it.... its a must have for the collection.

   I believe Wild Hogs was a very entertaining movie. You can say other wise, under the cercumstances i'm just a kid, but i loved the movie. Everyone i know who saw it laughed themself silly and strongly recommended it. You can try to prove me wrong, but i doubt you'll suceed. In other words, if you haven't seen Wild Hogs, you really should.

   This film made me laugh so much I could hardly breathe, its was very funny and the 4 principal characters are just awesome and compliment each other fabulously. You just know they had fun making it ;-)
   
   By far the best laugh a minute I have seen in years and with some very memorable moments that will keep you giggling even weeks after. I have recommeded this to friends who have now accquired in on DVD. We still giggle about it. A film to make you chuckle !!!!!
   
   Dont take it too seriously, it's for the part in all of us that doesnt want to ever stop having fun.

   Light entertainment that made me laugh out loud. Not an Academy Award winner but then I just wanted a feel good movie and that's what I got. The boys had fun, they made me have fun watching, I hope they make a Wild Hogs II.

   Saw this one and had to have the DVD. I thought I'd peed my pants laughing. I've been riding Harleys for 40 years, so it was also a good chance to laugh at myself, too. Anytime I need an escape from the day to day hum-drum, I pop in the DVD and laugh for 90 mins. OK, Travolta "squinty" was the least comfortable with getting laughs but overall it works. And John McGinley as the highway patrolman was a hoot. If you get the DVD, enjoy the behind the scenes and the commentary, the actors DID have fun making this one. And, yes, when Wild Hogs 2 comes out, I'll be in line again. Finally, for all you anal-retentives ranting and raving about wholes in the plot, GET A LIFE!, its a Disney comedy, not Doctor Zhivago!

   Okay...I recently watched this movie last weekend in celebration of New Year's, expecting this fluffy, light-hearted, fun-fillec comedy with no hard-hitting issues whatsoever. Instead, what I got was a complete waste of film! As a hadcore feminist, I felt this movie, along with so many other movies out there now, was extremely sexist and anti-women! What I really hated was how the women were either window-dressing, or depicted in a less than favorable light. Like Tim Allen's wife was passive and submissive and seemed to have little substance. All she had to do was smile and agree with every single word her husband said even though most of the time he was wrong. And if my husband ever EVER talked to me or treated me the way he did, he would be walking around without his "thing" and a sore ass!! And if he ever came up to me and said he wanted to go on a weeklong road trip with his buddies on their motorbikes, you'd better believe I'd say NO F*CKING WAY!!!! Oh, but NOOOO!!!! This is a GUYS movie, so the sweet little wifey-poo has to say"yes". And the one who played Martin Lawrence's wife was only looking out for the family's welfare and had the right idea getting pissed off when she found out he lied to her telling her he was going to some plumber's convention (as if those even exist) to cover for his stupid GUYS road trip!! And yet they portrayed her as being this dragon-lady when she was not about to let her husband tie her down and turn into this smiling "Stepford Wife". And, finally, there was Marisa Tomei, who very obviously was nothing more than just mere eye candy with a character who wasn't very deep and had very little dialogue. And what was the deal with there only being three female leads who had limited screen time??? Maybe when women are finally given some justice and are given better movie roles we can have a "Men's Liberation" film....but in an era where women are still being thought of as sex objects, or sex-crazed debutantes, or wheeping willows, not too approrpriate that this horrible anti-feminist/anti-female movie should see the light of day. And to think that they had the nerve to even think up this steaming pile of male-macho sh*t in a time where women and young girls are struggling harder than ever with body image and identity problems via the media. In short, I have a message to Disney, Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, Bill Macy and whoever thought up this fluff....SHAME ON YOU!!!!! >:(

   Get a grip, Heather!! If anything this was sort of a men's liberation movie that needed to be done. We have all these women's liberation movies where women are being held back and need to break free, why not have a guy's movie like that? I didn't see any sexism at all in this movie. If anything, Martin Lawrence's character was a victim of being the only male in his home and having to ask his wife permission to breathe, but he finally set her straight and made him realize that he is his own person and he loves her but he doesn't need her ordering him around all the time. But you saw they were still together and she understood. And Tim Allens' wife in the movie was not passive. She made him go on the trip because she saw he really wanted to and he needed this trip. There are too many bossy women in this world and too many hen-pecked husbands.

   This was a fun movie to watch, lots of sight gags and in-jokes, but at the same time, yes rather sexist and anti-women. While this was clearly a funny movie, it was also a bit dated where the women were the housewives and the men were the bread-winners. Tim Allen's wife was the "sweet, submissive" one and Martin Lawrence's wife was the "loud, bitchy" one and John Travolta's wife we never even get to see, but we are told she's some sexy fashion model, or something. So, yeah, this movie is definately a throwback to the dark ages when women had nothing better to do than to sit and smile for their men.
