Whether or not you like to ride, this is a great show. I don't know if this is a must see but it is your loss if you don't watch it. It's an excellent way to kill a hundred minutes. This show has a fantastic cast, excellent eye candy AND if pathetic is funny, this is hilarious. Sit back and enjoy the bikes if nothing else. I can watch this every 3 - 5 years.

Hoping to recapture their youth, four middle-aged suburbanites take a cross-country motorcycle trip a la 'Easy Rider' in this hit-and-miss comedy starring John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy. The film has nothing on 'Lost in America' as far as 'Easy Rider' tributes go (despite an entertaining Peter Fonda cameo) and it has relatively little to offer as a midlife crisis movie, but there is enough of interest here that the film seldom ever bores. The jokes are not particularly fresh or original with Macy constantly driving into things, a noticeably large amount of gay-themed gags and unfunny fight sequences, but the supporting cast is great (especially an aggressive Ray Liotta and John C. McGinley as a cop who seems unable to leave the foursome alone) and there are at least two genuinely funny moments as Macy's computer goes berserk and as Travolta cites the backwoods horror film 'Deliverance' when trying to think of a movie that their cross-country trip might be like! The film also deserves some credit for assembling a perfect sourced song soundtrack without falling back on the obvious (i.e. "Born to Be Wild"). 'Wild Hogs' is, however, a difficult movie to enthusiastically recommend overall. There is a convenient love interest for the lovesick Macy, a sentimental end credits scene, a goofy antagonist or two, some mindless violence and an incredulous deus ex machina in the mix. Then again, there are also several amusing moments when the filmmakers trust the four friends simply interact and bounce off each other.

This is so predictable, so nauseating that I can't believe these talented men (and women) made this pathetic stupid movie! The premise is, like, written by a 10 year old. The geography is totally out of sequence, mountains and then New Mexico and so forth. One rider has a leather 'helmet' which does nothing for safety. The plot, is there one, is very lame.On several occasions they crash a bike and then instantly they are riding again, no damage. Several times they are violently ejected off the bikes, no injury! I could go on and on. I ride motorcycles and it's nothing like this dumb wasted movie.I am so glad I didn't pay a cent to see it, other than the fact that I lost my time watching it.Pathetic in all ways, avoid it.

Mid life crisis meets biker road rage in a comedy with a star studded cast that had very few comedic moments for me.Tim Allen plays a dentist who wants to be known as a doctor and he gets no respect. Martin Lawrence is a henpecked husband who gets the nastiest plumbing jobs in the world. And he gets no respect. William H Macy provides most of the laughs as a geek who does not belong on a bike and you wonder how he met these guys in the first place. Oh yeah. He gets no respect. And there's John Travolta - the guy who has it all, money, fancy car, nice house, swimsuit model wife. But it's all leaving him; fast. And as a result, he gets no respect.So the middle aged men and their biker group, the Wild Hogs go on a cross America road trip on their bikes. Hilarity ensues.The movie feels like a sitcom stretched out over 2 hours. William H Macy is a great actor and he pulled in most of the laughter with his facial expressions and his awkwardness as a geek forced into the real world. The rest of the guys are playing broad caricatures. The town they visit is inhabited by the usual local yokels plus the beautiful owner of the diner, Marisa Tomei. (Marisa looks incredible by the way. Her presence kept me watching through the boring chili contest scene.) A lot of the movie feels predictable. You can see the set up a mile away. You can see the actors deliver their lines and then boom, off to the next one. Not a lot of imagination here. The direction was pretty uninspired. The writing, ditto. I've seen better episodes of Frasier.5/10
