Critic Reviews
With its clever premise and quartet of appealing comedic star turns, Wild Hogs is a step above the typical comedies rolling off the assembly lines of the major studios.
Read the full reviewJokes dying on the lips of these easy riders are hard to stomach.
Read the full reviewThe movie is this year's "RV," a rolling tent show of suburban male anxieties: castration, obsolescence, dismissive offspring, fears of gayness. LOTS of fears of gayness. Unlike "RV," though, Wild Hogs is funny. Eventually.
Read the full reviewGiven his writer-producer credits on good-to-great recent sitcoms ("My Name Is Earl," "Arrested Development," "Grounded for Life"), one might expect more situational wit, or at least some snappy patter, from Brian Copeland's first bigscreen script. Instead, the humor rests primarily on slapstick wipeouts that have no physical consequence.
Read the full reviewNothing about this sputtering midlife-crisis family comedy is natural except the timeless notion that even the most latte-tamed baby boomer has the power to reclaim his inner Iron John. Ray Liotta provides the one true blast of comedic energy as the leader of a real, more pugnacious head-butting gang who tangles with the four amigos.
Read the full reviewThe movie never rises to the level of the professional, much less the comic. The gags are witless and surprisingly gross. The four actors, each accustomed to being at the center, never develop any rhythm, any chemistry, any anything.
Read the full reviewMr. Lawrence and Mr. Allen, who have never aspired very far beyond their affable television-comedy personas, are easier to watch than Mr. Travolta or Mr. Macy, who both undertake what can only be called acting. This is more than the picture deserves, but then again, so is Ray Liotta, as the chieftain of the bad bikers, and so is Ms. Tomei.
Read the full reviewWild Hogs is more tired, worn out, and sagging than its protagonists - an arthritic comedy whose humor is below mediocre and whose drama is cringe-worthy.
Read the full reviewFrom the embarrassingly over-the-top performance of Ray Liotta as a tough-guy biker to the pratfalls of William H. Macy as a bumbling computer geek, this movie stinks of exhaust and desperation.
Read the full reviewBy the time it sputters across the finish line, Wild Hogs feels as if it's gone on forever -- like a trip in a hot car with the windows rolled up. The air is stale and hard to breathe, and it sure feels good when it's over.

best movie
"This is the best and funniest i've ever watched.I love all the actors.I bought it for my family for christmas and they love it too."
Looks aren't everything
"Yes, Esthetica is a very nice, well kept salon. But that isn't always everything. I have been familiar with Esthetica since the old salons in Ventnor and the old Northfield salon (near House and Garden). Time sure has changed things, How does that saying go?? Money changes people? Well apply it to the salon. I truly miss the warmth and sincerity of the old Esthetica - the new is beautiful but not what it used to be. People (some employees) can be rude, or your shuffled around like a number, or the staff appears to be judgmental. It;s truly a split either the staff are truly fabulous and NICE or straight up pathetically rude. For the most part I just moved on down to the Prudential building to follow the best, not to say I wouldn't ever go to Esthetica again."

"""My opinion of the song "Beautiful Girls" is that it sounds ignorant and juvenile. I, just like everyone else here, am entitled to my opinion and this song's lyrics sound as if a grade school student wrote it. Suicide is not a word to be thrown around as if it could be the answer to one's problems, ever. I think the song is just down right stupid and the person singing these lyrics sound weak minded and is in need of heavy medication."""
