Critic Reviews

Frank Scheck

With its clever premise and quartet of appealing comedic star turns, Wild Hogs is a step above the typical comedies rolling off the assembly lines of the major studios. Read full review

Ty Burr

The movie is this year's "RV," a rolling tent show of suburban male anxieties: castration, obsolescence, dismissive offspring, fears of gayness. LOTS of fears of gayness. Unlike "RV," though, Wild Hogs is funny. Eventually. Read full review

Premiere Laine Ewen

While each actor is talented in his own right, the on-screen friends' relationship is barely developed. Read full review

A.O. Scott

Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Allen, who have never aspired very far beyond their affable television-comedy personas, are easier to watch than Mr. Travolta or Mr. Macy, who both undertake what can only be called acting. This is more than the picture deserves, but then again, so is Ray Liotta, as the chieftain of the bad bikers, and so is Ms. Tomei. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Wild Hogs is more tired, worn out, and sagging than its protagonists - an arthritic comedy whose humor is below mediocre and whose drama is cringe-worthy. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Macy's character finds romance with the Madrid, N. M., diner owner played by Marisa Tomei. They're the only two people on screen who relate in any way. But there's no movie here. There is only a tired "City Slickers"-inspired idea for a movie. Read full review

Pete Vonder Haar

An indolent, PG-13, Disney "biker" flick that does for comedies what Exxon did for Prince William Sound. Read full review

Wild Hogs in not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it. John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H.

Wild Hogs is already a classic. Remember watching American Pie, or Old School and you knew you were already watching a classic. Same thing with Wild Hogs. This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The critics are showing their true colors by bashing this film. The audience is Wild Hogs is already a classic. Remember watching American Pie, or Old School and you knew you were already watching a classic. Same thing with Wild Hogs. This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The critics are showing their true colors by bashing this film. The audience is already turning on them for their incompetent analysis of the film. You have to wonder if these critics even bothered to watch the film. I was listening to a Chicago movie cynic, I mean critic, on radio saying that within the first 3 minutes he had already decided that it was not funny. It's a comedy. Sit back, relax and take that stick out of your butt and laugh a little. Or in this case a lot. He also went on to say that there was not a single laugh in the entire movie and was urging desperately for people not too see the film. This begs the question, why are critics trying so hard to keep people away from an unbelievably funny movie? Wonder if it touched a nerve with them, or wonder if they just don't like one of the stars of the movie? Something is going on or maybe the critics have lost their minds. Regardless, this is the funniest movie my wife and I have seen in a long time. The audience was laughing hysterically throughout the film. People were outside the theater still laughing, and my wife and I are still laughing about it a couple days later. It even received an ovation at my theater as well as many others I've heard. What comedy receives an ovation? I guess the critics and the audience just don't see eye to eye. See the film and don't rely on a critic to make up your mind for you. And if you do care what other people think then look at what the audience is saying. It's a hysterical film and hope we can see some sequels. … Expand

What is it about straight comedies that critics just hate? I suppose they want Oscar Wilde -- wit for intellectuals. It's a CRIME that this movie was universally panned. I mean, this movie was hilarious. I kept expecting it to lose steam, but it was funny from beginning to end. Judging What is it about straight comedies that critics just hate?

Eh, it made my laugh a bit, though I wouldn't watch it if I had to pay for it.

i've crapped better films than this. i know there is a think called "entertainment," and these guys miss it entirely. homophobic jokes (especially with bikers) just don't qualify is humour. for those of you who enjoyed this film in any way, run quick to your local video store and i've crapped better films than this. i know there is a think called "entertainment," and these guys miss it entirely. homophobic jokes (especially with bikers) just don't qualify is humour. for those of you who enjoyed this film in any way, run quick to your local video store and rent "I Have No Idea What A Good Comedy Is, And I Should Bury Myself In Quicksand."
