After seeing some pretty harsh reviews on Wild Hogs, I was a bit hesitant to see the movie. But I couldn't resist, we have some awesome actors here: John Travolta, William H. Macy, Ray Liotta, Marisa Tomei, and... that's it. Well, I'm in no way criticizing Tim Allen's acting, he was actually pretty decent; I've never been a fan of Martin Lawerence, but I didn't mind him so much in the film. I watched Wild Hogs last night and I really enjoyed it. While it was a little flat in some areas, it still brought me a few laughs and I really enjoyed the characters. The story you have to admit is a fun one, just because who hasn't seen the middle aged guys trying to re-kindle their youth? So it was a blast seeing these great actors do this story together.
Bobby, Dudley, Doug, and Woody are all best pals and have been since college. They have a biker gang together called the Wild Hogs, it's the one escape from their typical and predictable lives as husbands, fathers, or just being single and depressed. One day after Woody's bitter divorce and loosing his money, he suggests a road trip to re-kindle the guy's old ways. But from minute one, the trip isn't working, all the guys try to plan the trip instead of being spontaneous, they go to the bathroom every 5 minutes, and are constantly accused of being gay. Then to top things off, they meet a rival gang and Woody accidentally blows up their bar and are now being chased across the country while the boys try to be so wild.
Wild Hogs is actually a fun comedy that I'm sure you'll get a few laughs from, while I was hoping for a little bit more, it still was all good. Considering that it could have flopped, I think it worked. For me I loved William H. Macy's character the most, Dudley, he was just so cute when he acted tough, it's just the whole point of it's William H. Macy. But he's awesome, so are the other actors. I would recommend Wild Hogs, it's just a fun little comedy that I'm sure you'll get a couple laughs from.
6/10
