Storyline

Four middle-aged men decide to take a road trip from Cincinnati to the Pacific in order to get away from their lives which are leading them nowhere. Taking their motorcycles, these "Wild Hogs" tear up the road and eventually stop in New Mexico for a drink not knowing that the bar belongs to the "Del Fuegos", a mean biker gang. When the Del Fuegos steal a bike that belongs to the Wild Hogs, the four men form a plan to steal their bike back.

Goofs

After Woody retrieves Dudley's bike and they are riding past the del fuegos you see everyone (Wild Hogs) waving with their left hand. However, Woody sends a hand signal using his right hand - the one needed for the throttle, yet you hear his engine speed up.

Almost Non Stop Laughs

So last night i went and saw a sneak preview of this movie. I figured it would be like a lot of recent mainstream comedies where all the funny parts were in the commercial. Not True. I started laughing within the first 5 minutes and didn't stop for almost the rest of the movie. Same goes for my mother, who in her laughter accidentally spit soda all over the man in front of her, to my 11 year old brother. I would warn you if you are considering taking kids under the age of 8 there is a surprising amount of profanity (when i went i thought it was a kids movie) and sexual humor. I would say go see it in theaters, it is one of the funniest mainstream comedies i have seen in a while.
