Product Description
A group of middle-aged friends decide to rev up their routine suburban lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can't wait to feel the freedom of the open road. When this mis-matched foursome - who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle - set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for. The trip begins to challenge their wits and their luck, especially during a chance run-in with the Del Fuegos, a real-life biker gang who are less than amused with their novice approach. As they go looking for adventure, they soon find that they've embarked on a journey they will never forget.

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 Stills from Wild Hogs (click for larger image)

David Calhoun (Marion, IA USA)
Love this movie. I'm a biker so I know a lot of what the guys are going through with family, age and the need to search for something that's missing in their lives.....the open road.

I had Heard about this movie , and did not have a chance to see it at the theater . So I waited for it to come out on DVD . I just had a chance to purches this , and my wife and I watched it , and really enjoyed it . For anyone over the age of forty , could really relate to the four men in the movie . It really is a must see....
 Not as horrible as I expected June 9, 2009
Alan Starr (Lawrence, MA)
Better than expected, and I like it better than most reviewers, yet still not very good. I needed to watch something light after 'Rescue Dawn' and this fit the bill. Over-talented cast in a B-movie (John Travolta, William B Macy, John McGinley, Marisa Tomei). 3-stars, but that's 2-stars for the movie and an extra star just for Tomei, who still looks great.
They can't all be "Gone with the Wind" June 5, 2009
Thomas P. Haikin (Tehachapi, CA)
No, it's not great drama, and a few jokes fall flat, but if you immerse yourself into it, it's funny. Very funny. Great movies come along rarely. Great entertainment is where you can find it, and this is great entertainment.
