Review of Wild Hogs (2007) by Joshua P — 05 Apr 2013

You know what? To hell with the critics. I laughed a lot with 'Wild Hogs'. I don't think critics understand, or know how to have a bit of fun, the whole point is that these 4 old guys are on these bikes.

Just picture it, 4 middle aged guys on a road trip! The comedy just writes itself, and for the most part it succeeds, the majority of the jokes had me laughing, I'm not a big fan of slapstick but even some of those jokes did have me laughing, which was a surprise.

The cast play very well off of each other and they all have their little stereotype they're in and it works. Speaking of characters, they all had a welcome amount of development over the course of the film and all had a resounding conclusion, with the exception of Woody, his character didn't have much of a conclusion, if any.

It was professionally shot because the film looks very clear and very detailed and the colors are rich with life and it looks beautiful even on DVD. Bottom line, it is a comedy, did I laugh? Yes. So it works as a comedy.

It's one of those films you can just sit down with, enjoy and not have to think about it. Just be entertained. I bought this on DVD and I can see myself watching it again... in the not-to-distant-future.
