People who like this movie? - Wild Hogs Reviews

Answering the review that asked the question - who are people that liked this movie? Evidently, a lot of people did. There were people of all ages, families, bikers and posers. All laughed out loud and clapped at the end of the movie. As a middle-aged biker, who has been riding since age 15, riding harleys since 76, ridden with the outlaw side, and ride with the late comers who think leather and an expensive harley makes them a biker, it was an enjoyable movie. The comedy was clean and funny. There was enough riding without making it boring for those who don't ride. I think this movie showed a lot of life's problems are caused by misunderstanding and assumptions about those who are different from what we think is the norm according to our life experiences. The other thing that stood out was the reverence the biker community still has for Peter Fonda and what he did for bikers and bikes in 1969 with the movie Easyrider. The respect and honor given to him in the movie was felt and shared by the audience. My $0.02. It's not intellectual but it is fun and you can learn something about life while having a good time with the family.
