I took the family last night and I have to admit it I really liked it.
The camping scene is worth the money alone. I laughed so hard.
Granted this is not an award winner, but worth it for a family night out.

I thought it was worth seeing. My wife and I enjoyed the movie. However, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The story line is kinda weak and I thought the ending was lame. There are some very funny spots. I give it 3.0 stars just for the laughs.

Just saw it today, got a particular chuckle when Travolta tood the bird in the throat, reminded me of when a bird clocked itself off my headlight at 70 mph.

Saw it today, thought it was great mindless fun. Good one liners. Would suggest this for all ages for a stress free laugh where you don't have to think to follow the plot.
I will buy the DVD, those guys work well together.

4 couples of our riding gang went to see it this evening. Enjoyed it very much. 9 movies out of 10 have a dead spot but this one doesn't.

Same here Jerry, we had 5 bikes and 7 people went together to see the movie. We all laughed so much we hurt. Could hardly quit laughing after the movie while trying to eat pizza!! I think the "powers to be" have under rated this movie. Great movie for all ages. Heck I am sitting here still getting lots of chuckles out of it.

We saw it today also. The theatre was packed and I could tell that everyone in there loved it! I was sitting next to this old biker dude and we were both commenting on some of the oddities. I won't spoil it for anyone except this one. Ray Liotta's bike had an OCC sticker on it?!?!

My wife,my son and I saw the movie on Friday night. We laughed the whole time. It was the type of movie that did not require thinking. Just good times and laughter. The critics are dead wrong, everyone in the theatre enjoyed it. I will own it when it comes out on DVD. My son (12 years old) kept asking, how come there are no Triumphs? My wife said that "The directors didn't want to ruin the good bikes in accidents, so the put in HD's". The people behind us were laughing hysterical.

Between 'Ghostrider' and 'Wild Hogs,' I enjoyed the Hogs more. Besides, between the two movies, I would wager this is the most film work Peter Fonda has had in decades. 'There's crawfish in here!'  My score:

I saw the movie last night with a group of my bike friends and wives. We all thought it was very funny. I would think that people who ride and can relate will find it funnier than your average cager. There's no deep underlying story, just good fun. I would think anyone that is on this forum would enjoy it.

Great movie!! The critiques are idiots. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. My wife said "go ahead find 3 old guys like me and head for the coast" She's just trying to get rid of me. I can relate to that middle age stuff. Definitely a movie worth seeing again.  steve
Where's my $6 million??

Wow, I just counted 17 posts on this subject and they are all positive. So I guess I can liven up this thread by offering some criticism. I liked it too but I wouldn't pay $8.50 to see it again. I didn't like the way the movie portrayed the great number of bikers as one percenter types and the 4 lead actors as the oppressed minority of posers.

Hey, I said I liked it. I don't think I need to be told to lighten up. There are just so many times I can laugh at middle class guys falling off their bikes and getting beat up by bullies.

I finally saw "Wild Hogs" last night. I think it is still holding out as the #2 highest grossing movie as of last weekend. It was pretty funny and had lots of stars. I agree that Mirisa Tomei is still very good looking. Even though I laughed a bunch and generally enjoyed the movie, I think the 4 main stars were acting much below their abilities becuase of the mediocre script. I tried to keep my expectations low even though I have been looking forward to seeing this movie, but the humor was a little worn. Having said all that, it was still a harmless, family comedy that was fun. I liked the new Harley's they were riding and the guest appearance by that ole biker dude (don't want to metnion his name too much for those who have not seen it) was cool. For good intentions I give the movie a thumbs up

Did anyone else get 2 free tickets from your Harley dealer? They mailed me a voucher to take to a local dealer for the tickets. The nice lady at Harley said the factory mailed them out to registered metric owners. I also enjoyed the movie. I might have enjoyed it more if my Speedmaster was not going to a new owner this week. Anybody got some anti-depression drugs  ?

My wife and I saw it on Saturday. Nothing new but still fun. I laughed quite a bit. Marissa Tormei and Angie Harmon looked great and the last few minutes were a good little surprise. I enjoyed it, worth the ticket price.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Hey Mike, you talk like your not getting a new one. Why are you selling? Your bike should be the LAST thing to go. Take the house, take my car, take my job but leave the bike out of this.

You forgot "Take my wife, please."
No new bike. Also selling my TBS. Cash crunch time. My dad(retired in FL) needed a new car, daughter at NIU in Dekalb still has not gotten a settlement from the little terrorist (not kidding: his first name is Baha) that wrecked her/my Ranger last spring. And to top it off my job is in question. You ever get the feeling that you've overstayed your welcome? I've got that feeling. Like I said, Prozac anyone?
