Four friends are going through a mid-life crisis. Bored with their humdrum existence, they head off on a bonding motorcycle trip and become the Wild Hogs. En route they meet a mean biker gang and when one of them steals a Hogs' bike, they try to get it back - with repercussions. (Amazon Prime UK)

An easygoing old-school comedy. Good jokes and an excellent cast. The main quartet works exceedingly well. (John Travolta is just outstanding) and you can see that they had fun shooting it. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. And that’s the important thing, isn’t it? :-)

An easygoing flick with a gang of likeable characters who are simply a showcase of the typical archetypes of American comedy, which actually lets you detach yourself even more from their crazy trip. This is nothing but a mindless ride on the wave of catchy music that fortunately lacks any cringe-worthy and tasteless attempts at humour at any price. Besides, Marisa Tomey is gorgeous and I could relate to the character of Dudley, I also have trouble sometimes keeping my balance on a bike, especially late at night on the way back from certain establishments.

It's pretty stupid, but I quite like this comedy. That quartet just clicked for me because I really like all four actors, and on top of that, Travolta happens to be one of my favorites. There's also Marisa Tomei, Ray Liotta, and Peter Fonda. I don't watch it for the story, but precisely for the actors. And that's good enough for me in this case.

The biker way of life says a whole lot of nothing to me, but damn, it must be so cool to blast AC/DC, get on a Harley and hit Route 66. That's why at the beginning the "wild hogs" had my sympathy (though grinding my teeth in the case of the pseudo-comedian Martin Lawrence), and it lasted me about halfway through, when the story turned into a clichéd comedy farce the kind we've seen about a hundred times before. I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel with this likeable bunch, but only with a much better script.

Until about halfway through it's an average comedy with a few good jokes, but from the middle to the end it's unexpectedly boring and lame. It’s a shame, this four Wild Hogs would need a much better script, so that their "ride somewhere" would entertain even a person who doesn't care about motorbikes, i.e. me.
