Wild Hogs

Wild Hogs (2007) - Ok so I caught this on TV this afternoon, pretty random as I am not much of a comedy man. As far as comedy involving Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William Marcy this one stands out above the rest, the combination of these lead actors and the script by Brad Copeland (producer of "My Name is Earl" is just great. This comedy is pure enjoyable entertainment witch anyone from the hard core movie buff to the casual movie watcher would enjoy, we all know one of these characters, the suburban middle aged man who wonders what happened to the adventure they had in their youth.


What starts off as a road trip to the pacific (without the wives) ends up being the once in a lifetime chance for each of them to combat their mid life crisis, the character arches develop for each of the men very well and of course the situational comedy that develops helps the sorry along in genuine comedy style that does not have to rely on crude toilet humour to bring a smile to your face.

It’s a great light hearted comedy that has almost made it into my DVD collection more than once. Check it out, you will be surprised.

    I found Wild Hogs boring.

    The script is weak and I think the director mishandles the actors. These actors have done, so much better in other movies.

    For the weakness of script, the director tries to compensate with predictable humour, which is to the movies credit.

    Plus it tries to merge the American Black and White views of each other by the jokes they share. Beyond that there's nothing much to the movie.

    Credo
