WILD HOGS (2007) - This one didn't get good reviews, but I loved it. The whole cast was fun. John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H Macy, and Walt Becker go cross country on Harley's when faced with mid-life crisis and take on a biker gang. What more could you want from a film? Maybe you have to be a certain age to enjoy this one.

(7 Out Of 10 Stars)  :thumbup: :thumbup: Watch for Peter Fonda ! ! !

We borrowed this one from The Other Half's parents last weekend. She is much more into comedies than I am, so it was a surprise when I ended up enjoying the movie more than she did. Then again, I'm a guy approaching middle age...maybe it just spoke to me more.  :teddyr:

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

My wife, daughter, and I just watched this on pay-per-view a couple of weeks ago. We thought it was pretty amusing (probably better than I thought it would be). 

I think that whether one finds this movie funny depends on their age.  I remember someone really ripping this apart over at AICN when it was first released, but even that reviewer said that there were quite a few middle agers in the audience and they all had a blast with it.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

 Tara Sue's daughter Angel works at a video store-she brought it home one night....I'm not big on comedies...but I enjoyed this a lot as well. Very funny!

The only reason I believe I would want to see the film would be because of William H. Macy.  I don't know what it is about his acting, but it's great.  I could watch him stare at a wall for and hour and a half and be entertained.

Marisa Tomei had a nice role in this film. MY COUSIN VINNY was another good one she was in.

Well she did win a Oscar for My Cousin Vinny ...


I thought the movie was good, as I relate to it as me and my friends often take off for long rides to get away from the domestic front.

I have yet to ride a motorcycle.

I did once and I (almost literally) busted my ass and the bike as well...much to the chagrin of the owner who had to bug me for over an hour to ride the motorcycle when I really didn't want to.

I vowed never to ride a motorcycle again.  I'm fairly sure I'll never break that promise to myself.

You could save gas and loose a leg with those machines.  :buggedout:

It would be fun to try it.

I ride and I have a bike (2 actually) but I don't think that qualifies me as a biker. However that is a Hell's Angles clubhouse about 4 miles from here and let me in even though I'm not a member. Easy place to get some beer in a dry county. :cheers:

Yes, I have lots of toys and I've worked my ass off to get them and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I started at ZERO. And with that I need to hit the road and get some work done. (Not on the bike.) Be back tonight.

A "sleeper" hit, it made over $100 million at the box office, so there is talk of doing asequel to the film.

Thanks for the info BoyScoutKevin. Because for as much as I liked this film I also felt they just scratched the surface. They left room for more. Not sure they can get the whole cast back.

If they do a sequel, I hope they bring back the gay motorcycle cop. He was my favorite minor character.  :bouncegiggle:
