Review of Wild Hogs (2007) by Fredj. — 06 Mar 2007

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.
