Four middle-aged men (Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy) decide to take a road trip from Cincinnati to the Pacific in order to get away from their lives which are leading them nowhere. Taking their motorcycles, these "Wild Hogs" tear up the road and eventually stop in New Mexico for a drink not knowing that the bar belongs to the "Del Fuegos", a mean biker gang.

How this low-brow road-trip comedy managed to reap $40 million in its first three days is a mystery. Its also... read more on Time Out
For some the line between middle age and teenage gets a bit blurred and when middle age gets comfortable (or not) and you are trying to regain that former glory this is what can happen. This is a really funny movie, ok there is a formula in it, but it is cast so well and the hilarious lines come so thick and fast you won't give a hoot. For me i'd rather go a a triumph (or perhaps a shiny ferrarri red - reliable - ducati if there is one out there pleaaaaase) rather than a Harley, but hey I suggest you get on your bike, whatever it might be, and give this one a watch, a highly recommended fun movie.
And now for something completely different, Wild Hogs is a film we knew little of but looked at the cast and took a chance on it, overall we were rewarded. Without ever looking like a future member of our DVD collection Wild Hogs made for a really entertaining nights viewing, funny in places, interesting story and likeable characters, a simple but effective combination. Four ordinary men look to recapture their youth by embarking on a motor cycle road trip to almost disastrous consequences as they come up against notorious biker gang, Del Fuegos, led by Ray Liotta. As the four wannabe bikers try to evade capture they make a host of new friends and realise, on the simplest level, plenty about themselves. Wild Hogs is not hilarious but funny enough to carry the movie, when offset against the generally likeable storyline this makes for a good nights entertainment. 7/10. Harmless fun. 4 Stars.
I must admit, when I saw the trailer for Wild Hogs, my first reaction was, wild horses couldn't drag me to it. Paunchy, punchy over-the-hill 'stars' (John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence) pulling on their leathers and mounting their Harleys for what promised to be mucho gay gags and lame-o slapstick - who wants to see that? And what the heck is a class act like William H Macy doing in dreck like this? Well, as to Macy's involvement your guess is as good as mine, but it turned out I was... Read more
