Die Sehnsucht nach Abwechslung treibt die Vorstadt-Freunde Woody, Dudley, Doug und Bobby dazu, einen gemeinsamen Motorradausflug zu machen. Die vier brechen frohgemut mit ihrer Harley in die weite Highway-Wildnis auf. Als sie auf die äußerst ungemütliche Biker-Gang Del Fuegos treffen, bereuen sie jedoch sehr schnell, dass sie ihre Sofas gegen einen Sattel eingetauscht haben. (kabel eins)

Wild Hogs is a transparently calculated mainstream affair for undemanding audiences. However, there are two positives here. Firstly, the presence of several male stars, albeit faded ones, and secondly, the romance of powerful motorcycles and endless roads. Who wouldn't want to roam the American countryside on such a machine? Virtually everyone would - except for me. I barely managed to stay balanced on a tricycle as a child, and currently, I have trouble maintaining balance in a car. Those noisy, devilishly fast machines don't impress me in the slightest, so I can focus on the film essence, which, once again, is mediocre. Overall impression: 25%. This comedy production, where I am always two steps ahead of the screenwriter, simply bores me and is not for me.

An easygoing old-school comedy. Good jokes and an excellent cast. The main quartet works exceedingly well. (John Travolta is just outstanding) and you can see that they had fun shooting it. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. And that’s the important thing, isn’t it? :-)

The biker way of life says a whole lot of nothing to me, but damn, it must be so cool to blast AC/DC, get on a Harley and hit Route 66. That's why at the beginning the "wild hogs" had my sympathy (though grinding my teeth in the case of the pseudo-comedian Martin Lawrence), and it lasted me about halfway through, when the story turned into a clichéd comedy farce the kind we've seen about a hundred times before. I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel with this likeable bunch, but only with a much better script.

Until about halfway through it's an average comedy with a few good jokes, but from the middle to the end it's unexpectedly boring and lame. It’s a shame, this four Wild Hogs would need a much better script, so that their "ride somewhere" would entertain even a person who doesn't care about motorbikes, i.e. me.

An easygoing flick with a gang of likeable characters who are simply a showcase of the typical archetypes of American comedy, which actually lets you detach yourself even more from their crazy trip. This is nothing but a mindless ride on the wave of catchy music that fortunately lacks any cringe-worthy and tasteless attempts at humour at any price. Besides, Marisa Tomey is gorgeous and I could relate to the character of Dudley, I also have trouble sometimes keeping my balance on a bike, especially late at night on the way back from certain establishments.
