Not crazy about wild hogs - Wild Hogs Reviews

There is nothing special about Wild Hogs. Even a stellar cast that includes four major stars, John Travolta, William H. Macy, Martin Lawrence and Tim Allen. Even Ray Liota and a few others are thrown in the mix. This is quite a diverse cast as well, and will likely draw huge mixed crowds to your local cinema. The unfortunate thing is that the movie really isn't that good. This story is about middle aged guys who decided to leave their home lives for an across country motorcycle ride. Their group name is the "Wild Hogs". At the beginning they throw away their phones and set off for the adventure. Along the way they end up meeting a gay motorcycle cop and he particularily finds interest in the men. They also run into another group of bikers at a bar outside a small town in the dessert and they don't realize who they are messing with. They have been known to terrorize this town for years and basically bully the citizens there. Well, the Wild Hogs will have none of it and decide to stand up to them. This creates some humor but the movie just fizzles from this point on. I found it to be less funny than the audience I saw it with (sneak preview). Nothing special here and is one I would wait to see on video. C
