Wild Hogs

Wild Hogs is a transparently calculated mainstream affair for undemanding audiences. However, there are two positives here. Firstly, the presence of several male stars, albeit faded ones, and secondly, the romance of powerful motorcycles and endless roads. Who wouldn't want to roam the American countryside on such a machine? Virtually everyone would - except for me. I barely managed to stay balanced on a tricycle as a child, and currently, I have trouble maintaining balance in a car. Those noisy, devilishly fast machines don't impress me in the slightest, so I can focus on the film essence, which, once again, is mediocre. Overall impression: 25%. This comedy production, where I am always two steps ahead of the screenwriter, simply bores me and is not for me. (16/07/2008)

An easygoing old-school comedy. Good jokes and an excellent cast. The main quartet works exceedingly well. (John Travolta is just outstanding) and you can see that they had fun shooting it. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. And that’s the important thing, isn’t it? :-) (14/08/2007)

The biker way of life says a whole lot of nothing to me, but damn, it must be so cool to blast AC/DC, get on a Harley and hit Route 66. That's why at the beginning the "wild hogs" had my sympathy (though grinding my teeth in the case of the pseudo-comedian Martin Lawrence), and it lasted me about halfway through, when the story turned into a clichéd comedy farce the kind we've seen about a hundred times before. I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel with this likeable bunch, but only with a much better script. (07/03/2008)

Until about halfway through it's an average comedy with a few good jokes, but from the middle to the end it's unexpectedly boring and lame. It’s a shame, this four Wild Hogs would need a much better script, so that their "ride somewhere" would entertain even a person who doesn't care about motorbikes, i.e. me. (01/10/2011)

It's pretty stupid, but I quite like this comedy. That quartet just clicked for me because I really like all four actors, and on top of that, Travolta happens to be one of my favorites. There's also Marisa Tomei, Ray Liotta, and Peter Fonda. I don't watch it for the story, but precisely for the actors. And that's good enough for me in this case. (07/04/2015)
