Brief synopsis of Wild Hogs - BLU-RAY Version

Walter Becker (NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VAN WILDER) directs this tale of four friends who hit the open road. Woody (John Travolta), Doug (Tim Allen), Bobby (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley (William H. Macy) are middle-aged suburbanite buddies stuck in a rut. Doug, a dentist, yearns for respect from his pre-teen son and everyone else in his life. Bobby is a henpecked husband and unhappy plumber. Computer programmer Dudley is a flop with the ladies. And Woody, who seemed to have it all, has just lost everything. Each weekend the foursome takes to the streets of Cincinnati on their motorcycles as the 'Wild Hogs'. With his world secretly falling apart, Woody hits on an idea: a 'Wild Hogs' road trip to the Pacific Coast. Soon, the four are embarking on the adventure of their lives. But when they stumble upon a roadside dive in New Mexico filled with 'real' bikers and raise the ire of Jack (Ray Liotta), who is the leader of the Del Fuegos, the Wild Hogs discover that they are in for a greater adventure than they expected, including a showdown in the sleepy New Mexico town of Madrid. Travolta, Allen, Lawrence, and Macy have fun here, from the verbal barbs to the physical comedy, and Liotta works surprisingly well as a 'real' biker who is disgusted and insulted by these weekenders. The perpetually effervescent Marisa Tomei appears as a Madrid local who catches Dudley’s eye, and John C. McGinley is an overly enthusiastic highway patrolman repeatedly encountered by the foursome. Watch for an all too brief appearance from EASY RIDER star Peter Fonda, and an amusing segment from Ty Pennington of EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER. Despite the star power in this film, which was shot on location in New Mexico, it’s the custom bikes and open road that really shine.

Interestingly the film industry doesnt seem to have learned that simply signing up 'Big Names' to Star in a film will not by itself be a guarantee of success.

There isstill an imperative requirement for the cast to be supported by a well crafted and well directed script in order to create a recipe for viewer satisfaction.

How Many brilliant enjoyable box office smashes have been noticable by the complete abscence of a 'Super Star' the answer is Many..!!!

This then, the eagerly anticipated return of the comedy clasic road movie with the enthrawling voyeristic pleasure of serious actors lowering their media fassard for a few hours, allowing us, the paying audience to truly empathise with a supposedly regular bunch of guys embarking on a regular adventure.

Unfortunately What follows is in reality, a lazy unimaginative amaturish load of old'Hog-Wash'

What starts out as a light hearted if contrived comedy of errors, with the unsuprising motorcycle mishaps, close shaves with irrate burley truck drivers, An amorous biker cop with a crush.

And what surely has to be a scary consiquence of 'Global Warming' As we are presented with John Travoltas last straw b4 running away from a whimpish midlife crisis, Yes an argument with an unsuspecting 12 yr old gardener, desperately negotiating a better fee for sweeping up a lush green lawn strewn with autumn leaves, obviously placed there by an unobservant props director, with a seasonally confused veritable forest of lush green deciduous trees filling the affluent panarama...!!!

To sumise, what was anticipated as a cool star filled block buster, quickly transforms from slapstick saturday night live scetch, to a poor cousin of a thankfully defunked A-Team Episode, punctuated briefly with some oprah pseudo psycho bable...

Truly the only redeeming factor of this dreary unbelievable film, has to be the welcome apperance of The beautiful Marisa Tomei.
