This movie is completely awful.


I don't know why it has a 6.3 rating. It should be atleast lower than 4.5. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

One of the worst? Why do people behind keyboards always exaggerate? Are you looking for Jackass type humor, or toilet humor? Seriously, what constitute as being funny nowadays? I really think to each his own when it comes to comedy. I don't understand toilet humor like farts in movie, or sex topics like American Pie. I like comedies where the jokes are not so obvious and more subtle and this movie fits the bill. If you can appreciate some of the subtitles in this movie, and the dialogue, then you will love it. If you can't, then you won't.

Here are some of the subtleties I found hilarious:

-When they were walking their bikes, Dudley kept looking back at the vulture that was following him. The other 3 are oblivious. Knowing how smart and analytical Dudley is, I can imagine his character is analyzing and breaking down the reason for why this vulture is following him. And the other 3 don't know this is going on, only us, the audience. FUNNY!!!
-Martin Lawrence talking to the sheriff about the types of nuts he can destroy. The sheriff is listening to him without any expression on his face and even ask in a matter of fact manner.. "what about macadamias?" FUNNY!!!
-The four of them sitting down and Travolta is acting all weird but has the audacity to accuse Tim Allen of saying the weirdest stuff. Martin Lawrence looks away while drinking his water. FUNNY!!
-Ray Liotta's laugh and reaction to his bald headed friend saying he likes looking for trouble. FUNNY!!
-Tim Allen saying he'd slap a chicken, a ferret maybe, but not a bull. FUNNY!!
-The karaoke dude. FUNNY!!

That's just a few, there are more. Also, if you like small towns depicted in movies, then you'll also appreciate the scenery. I love the idea of living in a small town, as if it's the past, as if time has been suspended. Movies like Doc Hollywood, and even Julia Robert's hideaway town in the movie Sleeping with the Enemy. I always like movies with little towns off the beaten path.

Like I said, different people find different things funny. To each his own. To say a comedy is the worse or completely awful is to be very self-centered. It's like you're saying you know what should or should not be funny. Fact is you don't, it's just your own taste.

I don't understand toilet humor like farts in movie, or sex topics like American Pie, teenage comedies, etc. Would a movie like EASY A be considered funny to you?

I love the idea of living in a small town, as if it's the past, as if time has been suspended. Movies like Doc Hollywood, Arachnophobia, Chevy Chase's Funny Farm, and even Julia Robert's hideaway town in the movie Sleeping with the Enemy. I always like movies with old nostalgic little towns off the beaten path.

I'm not comparing a dramatic masterpiece to a comedy, I'm just saying when it's on, I WATCH IT!!

I thought it was terrible. Saying it is a classic biker movie and calling it guy humor is like saying Dazed and Confused was a deep movie.
And I love how the other gangs had that "I'm gonna get you and stop those shenanigans" sort of attitude. Like a real biker gang wouldn't simply string them up by their dicks and go back inside to have a beer...

Would Hollywood and Movies exist if everything is suppose to be realistic? It's a comedy! I wonder why people collectively pay hundreds of millions to watch a human call himself Batman. Oh wait, I remember now, people suspend their beliefs when they go to a MOVIE!!!

That's because you're an idiot

Bollocks...I give this wonderful film a 10. It's as great as it can be and achieves everything it sets out to do.

"Wild Hogs" isn't one of those stupid, mindless, waste-of-time comedies. The characters are interesting and compelling. The story, aside from being endlessly hilarious and dysfunctional, is incredibly engaging and joyous. How can one watch this movie without wishing to be along on such a trip?! I absolutely adore Wild Hogs. Even if it's not your cup of tea, I should think you'd be able to derive enough enjoyment to be able to rate it at least a 5 or 6.

Its current 5.9 average is too low, in my opinion, and should be at least a 7.

agreed. this movie was surpisingly funny. I assume the OP is maybe 19 or something and hasn't seen highlander 2. now THAT was a $#17 movie

reply

Ha, ha, ha...you're probably right...and I'm glad I haven't seen that either, then!

I like you, Um. I like largeness...

I thought this movie was really funny too! I think it's ridiculous when people say "it's the worst movies I've ever seen". Really? Then they haven't seen enough movies then because I could name off a ton of movies that were worse. People must expect to me much going to movies, yes Wild Hogs was silly but it was FUNNY. Of course you have to have a sense of humor! It's was just a really fun movie overall. I can't even count how many times I've watched it and still laugh so many times every time. Even my father who doesn't find a lot of movies funny laughs a ton.

reply

I think its hilarious. Obviously others agree with me.

To Frenchkiss and elmgoodie....

Try listing reasons why it's such a "bad" movie instead of just saying "it should be rated a 4.5"....it sounds silly and untruthful without reasoning.

God, what an awful movie.

It's not too bad, but could've been a lot better.

This movie is bad. Bad enough in my mind that I had to come to the imdb page for it to post this.

Agreed. I have 1,201 movies rated. Only 13 ranked lower than Wild Hogs.

This film stinks. Stinks on ice!

Stinks. Rotten. Awful. Terrible. I have hundreds of other adjectives I don't want to waste time typing.
