Hilarious. I honestly don't remember laughing that hard in a theater since I saw Wedding Crashers when it first came out. Granted, the plot in Wild Hogs was not great, but it still worked. I went to see it with a friend and we were cracking up from the opening frames of the movie. It could have been better and developed more, but it was hysterical so I'm not complaining.

Agreed. I was expecting it to be good, but I wasn't expecting it to be consistently funny.

The marco polo scene with John C. McGinley in the pond is easily one of the creepiest and funniest scenes I've seen in a long time.

B+

On a sidenote, I was glad to see The Sklar Brothers in the film. I was a big fan of their show Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic, so I'm glad they're appearing in something else.

Oh my gosh!! Agreed with above posts. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile either. Great comedic timing!! Sure it's a little cheesy on the plot side, but this is a great comedic team!

Grade: B+

Not really that funny, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. At the end of the day, the film makes a solid point without making me want to slit my wrists and made me chuckle.... B-

Didn't plan on seeing this, but actually, it wasn't half bad. I'll admit, I laughed quite a bit. The film, as a whole, is still your basic cheesy comedy, but somehow managed to be a decent time-killer. B-

Horrid excuse for a comedy and one of the most outwardly homophobic films in recent memory. How no one caught this is stunning; not to mention that people didn't find it despicable.

Thank you Joe for mentioning that. I've read in countless professional reviews how homophobic the film is and nobody else seems to be mentioning this. And coming from you of all people it's really saying something since, unless I'm mistaken, I believe you're kind of homophobic yourself. So if someone who is actually homophobic found it to be so then it has to be true.

Thankfully I find the movie to look horrendous and stunningly unfunny. Unfortunately it's a big hit.

While granted there's humor in there that I think could be considered homophobic, no one said that's what they found to be funny, and who are you to be saying people are homophobic for finding the film to be funny?

I preferred when Mike when he wasn't the angry gay guy, just the guy who automatically loved any film with gay content.

I wasn't saying people who found it funny are homophobic.

Homophobic my ass. You an't make fun of gay people? Why not? You can make fun of every other kind of race, creed color and so on. I thought the film was tasteful and hilarious. So did my wife.

It isn't that bad. It's tasteful, in a way.... gays aren't lambasted or exploited. It's all in good taste. I'm as liberal and kooky as they come, and while I could have done without the gay humor (I am conscious that some won't "get it" or might take it the wrong way and think that homophobia is acceptable - it isn't), I don't find it very offensive at all. So I guess that makes me the gay guy who could care less about the "homophobic" jokes in Wild Hogs. :-O

I'm also a kooky, gay liberal, and I'm not particularly offended by the supposed "homophobia," I'm just disgusted by America's readiness to see this piece of crap. 39 mil opening weekend is disturbing.

Comedies make fun of people, and different groups of people. Get over it.

In that case, he has no fucking reason to be judging the film. It's as bad as dolce "pre-judging" Children of Men. Save your money and save your opinion.

It's human nature to prejudge. Especially with all the trailers and clips that are released these days it's expected.

There's a backhanded compliment if I've ever read one.
