    Hilarious hog heaven......

    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.

    Man, that was like Level 12 of Doom.

    I thought the movie was hilarious, it's 'City Slickers on Harleys' sort of humour.

    Four middle-aged guys stuck in a rut and bored with life in general, looking for adventure to break the monotony. I thought the actors portrayed their characters with authenticity and must have had tons of fun making this extremely entertaining film.

    I especially liked the scene of John Travolta (Woody) and William Macy (Dudley) practicing dancing together. Most of the scenes were somewhat predictable, this doesn't stop you laughing out loud. Just take it for what it is, amusing entertainment, and you'll be sure to enjoy it. Sometimes we just want silliness to escape from reality, and these guys handled it with finesse.

    It is remarkably similar to City Slickers and I would've given it a four, but as an avid biker the Harleys got it that extra star.

    Good clean fun.

    Very Funny!

    Dont be put off by the critics. This is a very funny movie. Lots of gay humour which is not offensive. Good acting by all the cast. I think William H Macy is the only leading male out of the four who has not had a little nip/tuck but he is still cute. All the actors were fanfastic and the little male singer at the Madrid Fair deserves 5 stars alone - he is hilarious.

    I can't think of anything bad to say about this movie. Nice to see it is making lots of $$$$$$ it deserves it.

    Laugh out loud

    A group of over 40,s having a mid-life crisis hit the road on their Harleys. A great cast who work well together with some brilliant comic moments, a fair bit of slapstick humour .......but then I loved Home Alone ...good family film

    What were they thinking?

    John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H Macy, Ray Liotta...sounds like a comedy dream. But no, no, no!!! What could have been a good idea goes horribly wrong due to a poor script and jokes that just don't work. Only worth watching if you like motorbikes and any of the aforementioned actors.

    Pathetic

    If your idea of humour involves characters repeatedly crashing into things then rent it, otherwise leave well alone. It really is a juvenile, brain dead excuse for a movie that squanders the talents of its cast and embarrasses just about everyone involved. Some will find it hilarious, just as they did with the equally dire 'Click', but they are simply wrong!

    4 fortysomething weirdos on a road trip met a gay cop

    Just wonder why all the critics panned this movie at the time of its theatrical release, we rented it last nite, and it was absolutely fun to watch! OK, the storyline was, in a nutshell - 4 fortysomething weirdos on a road trip met a gay cop..... and a few bullies.... On top of that, you've got JT overacts a little or you may even cringe on the bugs and fart jokes, but the 1.5 hours flew past and we laughed our heads off! You can sense the actors are having a great time and the banters with each other are a joy to watch.

    Sit back and enjoy... Checked your brain out before putting in the dvds though...

    Rubbish!

    No story line, no point to the whole film & not even funny!! Suitable for kids, but even they would be bored as absolutely nothing happens in it!!

    LOVED IT

    Watched this film at the cinema when it first came out, and what can I say John Travolta is great at comic roles and this one was one of his best. Story line good, bikes were great, wonderful biker type music, lovely scenery, Ray Liotta as usual is fantastic as the baddie!!

    Cannot wait till this comes out on DVD as it will be in my shopping basket on the day it is released.

    And it is great when a whole cinema audience laughs out loud at the same time.....
