Amazon.co.uk Review
A coming-of-age story starring a bunch of fiftysomething stars rather than teenage actors, iWild Hogs/i is a well-intentioned comedy starring John Travolta (Woody), Tim Allen (Doug), Martin Lawrence (Bobby), and William H. Macy (Dudley) as a group of Midwesterners facing their own versions of mid-life crises. They decide to escape their frazzled personal lives and rejuvenate themselves by taking a road trip on their slick hogs. But their journey is less iEasy Rider/i than it is iThree Amigos/i (plus one). As individual actors, each lead is a formidable star. But throw them all together into one crammed screenplay full of scatological humour and uncomfortable homosexual gags and it doesn't quite work. The actors spend so much time trying to outdo each other on screen that they aren't believable as friends, much less comrades. Walt Becker (iNational Lampoon's Van Wilder/i) offers minimal direction on a film that could've used some reining in, especially during scenes between Macy and Marisa Tomei (as a diner owner who inexplicably falls for him). There are promises of some interesting vignettes when Ray Liotta shows up as Jack, the leader of a real motorcycle gang. When Jack threatens to break Dudley's legs, Dudley counters, "I'm a computer programmer! I don't need my legs." Without missing a beat, Jack says, "Fine, we'll break his hands." It's not that the lines are so funny, but they way Liotta delivers them that adds some life to this flailing comedy. Unfortunately, his scenes with the rest of the cast are all too few. i--Jae-Ha Kim/i

5 out of 5 stars OH WOW   December 11, 2008
I've bought this for my dad because he loves it so much! Best film EVER! x


4 out of 5 stars entertaining   November 12, 2008
Bought this film and wasnt sure what to expect from it. Watched it with friends and we thought it was a good "laugh out loud" film. Some films state they are comedies and when you watch them they can be very disappointing - not this one, appeals to all ages too. Cant go wrong really for 2.98!


1 out of 5 stars sad and desperate attempt at a look at the open road   October 26, 2008
Bored and disappointed with their ordinary lives, 4 bikers plan to get away for a week and explore the open road.br /br /Every biker, or simply every person, has dreamed of just packing in their ordinary day to day lives and hitting the open road and leaving their problems behind, and this ideology is explored in this tame and unfunny "comedy".br /br /I currently can't ride a motorbike but have been a pillion on my dad's for years and we have had some great exploring adventures and this film puts the ideology of exploring and adventure to shame by throwing in cliches, unfunny sequences and sadly a list of Hollywood Oscar nominees who you won't believe to be this poor.br /br /You would never have believed Travolta (Saturday Night Fever) and Macy (Fargo) would be Oscar nominees by their performances in this atrocious film, and this comes from a person who loves these two actors. To be totally fair it is down to the writing that the actors fail.br /br /The comedy genre has changed over the years and recent flops such as Disaster Movie give a testament to what comedy is; slapstick and parody of current issues and celebrities. The slapstick humour comes thick and fast from the get go as Macy's character Dudley crashes his Harley, portrayed as being funny when it could have been quite serious in a real sense and the slapstick and predictability continues as the plot unravels in a sad and desperate manor. br /br /We are introduced one by one into the character's dismal and difficult lives, all conveniently looking for an excuse to get away at the exact same time. Travolta's desperate and inspirational speech to convince his friends to come on the trip had me turning away it was so cliched inspirational, with that atrocious cheesy music spurring in the background.br /br /From there we see plenty of stereotypes such as the hard nut bikers and a gay cop who is played by John C McGinley of Scrubs, and being a huge fan of Dr Cox I was ashamed to watch, like other parts of the film.br /br /The one and only good thing about this film is the directed sequences of the bikers on the open road, cruising down highways with some chilled music playing.br /br /Bad performances and exceptionally poor writing, wild hogs follows the current trend of comic convention and doesn't live up to every biker's fantasybr /br /2/10


2 out of 5 stars ok   June 6, 2008
its city slickers but with a different title.this film has its moments but not enought to make memorable


5 out of 5 stars Great Movie !!   May 25, 2008
No bones about it, this is one great movie. Why ? Well for starters look at the actors. Travolta, Macy, Allen, Lawrence. No way these guys were going to turn in a bad movie. Read some bad reviews in the press about this movie. Obviously the reviews were done by people who didn't belong to the age group this movie is aimed at. Well I do, and no excuses, it's a wonderful feelgood film. Old - fashioned? maybe. But in a good way. Reminds me of the wonderful Smokey The Bandit movies with Burt Reynolds. Give me this type of movie any day, over some of the modern CGI'd wooden acting, no heart and soul pap that's being turned out at the moment. Brilliant - 5 stars and no regrets ! Go Wild Hogs !!
