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 mismatched 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.

"Wild Hogs" is a decent film. But William H. Macy was hilarious in this film, he stole the show. Had a couple of good laughs, although there were some gags/jokes that were not necessary.
an awesome movie and so funny. you will have a blast watching it. the actors play their characters very well and are truly entertaining.
Remarkably funny but harmless. Entertaining...remember when movies did that?
I would have killed to hear Bobarino say "What? When? Where?" once in there...
Started off slow but got better as the movie progressed. Not really what you would call a deep movie but it had an overall good concept of four guys going on an adventure to forget their lives for a while and messing up along the way. Its sort of E...

Not really what you would call a deep movie but it had an overall good concept of four guys going on an adventure to forget their lives for a while and messing up along the way. Its sort of Easy Rider meets the Three Amigos meets City Slickers. So yeah the critics are going to cry foul but for the rest of us most likely, enjoy it.
Despite the bitter gall of Martin Laurence, this film is pretty enjoyable.

There is a stead barrage of lame jokes thrown at the viewer, and lots of moments worth of groans, but somehow, like a good salesman, (except you dad, if you ever have occasion to read this) you can see through the slime to the great deal beneath. William H. Macy steals the show, but all of them (except for the abominable Martin Lawrence) provide a good performance. (Except the dinner table scene with Tim Allen,( but I can see past that. He was good. I still have hope for the man.) Over all I really enjoyed this film. It might not be a good film, but I loved it anyway.
watched it with mum on the ferry, pleasantly suprised, we both found it funny
Real funny for the first half. Then it turns into unlikely-heroes-save-a-small-town-in-New-Mexico. The film should have stuck with what it was supposed to be: Mid-Life Crisis on a Motorcycle.
Also: Ray Liotta was good in Goodfellas and that is ... (read more) Real funny for the first half. Then it turns into unlikely-heroes-save-a-small-town-in-New-Mexico. The film should have stuck with what it was supposed to be: Mid-Life Crisis on a Motorcycle.
Also: Ray Liotta was good in Goodfellas and that is it. Liotta should not be used at any time henceforth.
it was funnyyy. i like when the police officer things they are gay and wants to join them....XD
Do you like good charter development?
If you said yes like most people then avoid this like the plague!
Critic Reviews
Wild Hogs isn't as jaw-droppingly awful as its trailers suggest.full review
It's 'City Slickers' on bikes, probably someone's idea of a 40 year old guy's ultimate fantasy movie.full review
'A lot can happen on the road to nowhere,' reads the tagline on the poster for Wild Hogs, a comedy that also illustrates exactly how nothing can happen on the road to nowhere.full review
The main thing about the guys in Wild Hogs -- the main source of the movie's fumbling attempts at humor -- is that they're not gay. Really. Seriously. No way.
The movie frees you of the belief that making it in Hollywood requires finely honed skills. If the writer and director of this coarsely honed sitcom could get hired, then the studio doors must be wide open.full review
If Wild Hogs went hog wild into comic anarchy -- heck, even creativity -- it might have been worthy of its overqualified cast. As it stands, this weak effort will bring them sacks of money, but no respect.full review
No cliche goes unloved in this piddle about four aging Cincinnati dudes who try to find their bliss by hog-riding till they reach the Pacific.full review
