I have to say first that I only watched this movie because it was referenced in Hot Tub Time Machine. I had previously sworn never to watch it, as it looked awful, but now I was curious.
I tried to give it a chance... saying to myself "wow. a movie about some old white dudes who find motorcycle riding an enjoyable hobby. it will be like watching a movie about some foreign culture that is very different to my own" ... but I just couldn't... the storyline, complete with some massive plot holes, particularly around the criminal behaviour of the biker gang and the sheriff's reaction to it - it just reminded me of a children's movie. a bad children's movie. the sort of movie that you hope your kid doesn't want to watch again like 20 times.
And as for the scene that Hot Tub Time Machine referenced, where they're naked in some hot spring somewhere, and then that family turns up... it's almost WTF enough to make it worth seeing this once. but not close enough. If you never see this movie, you won't have missed anything.
