What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this comedy adventure isn't as kid-friendly as the previews suggest. The four middle-aged friends who set out on the central road trip use plenty of adult expletives, and the genuine biker gang they butt heads with is full of slapsticky violent, tattoo-covered hog riders out to punish the "suburban a--holes" posing as bikers. And then there are all homophobic jokes and double entendres -- not to mention the scatological possibilities of four men taking on the great outdoors. Be prepared for a lot of gay, poop, and pee jokes.
What's the story?
John Travolta leads the pack as Woody, a man his friends think has it all: money, looks, and a supermodel wife. But he's actually broke and about to get divorced. Desperate for a last-ditch way to rekindle better times, Woody convinces his motorcycle pals -- henpecked husband Bobby (Martin Lawrence), bored dentist Doug (Tim Allen), and computer-geek bachelor Dudley (William H. Macy) -- to take a road trip. Along the way, the guys do plenty of middle-aged male bonding.
Is it any good?
The four stars of WILD HOGS are all talented comedic actors, which is why it's disappointing -- if not surprising -- that this buddy flick isn't funnier. If you decide to join the fellas on their trip, stick around for a surprise treat at the end -- one that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition fans will especially appreciate. It's one of the funniest moments in the movie; too bad it came so late.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about what the four friends learned about themselves and each other on their road trip. Why was the trip so important to Woody? How was Woody misleading his pals? Why didn't Doug's son consider him cool until the end of the movie? Why was Bobby afraid of his wife? How did Dudley act bravely despite his geeky personality? Ask kids to explain how the guys proved their friendship to each other. What other movies does this one remind you of? What's the appeal of "road trip movies"?

Funny, but could be better
This movie was pretty funny. There were a lot of good jokes that would appeal to older tweens. Expect sexual humor and PG-13 swearing.

I watched this with my dad when I was a young ten...
Good Movie and I enjoyed it. Mild language, and a gay officer that 'flirts' once or twice but not any gay kissing or anything. The violence isn't too bad, but a bloody nose. If you absolutely do not tolerate bad language on TV, do NOT let your children watch this movie, however, if you don't mind a few slips here and there the movie is great!

Funny Funny Funny
This movie is so funny my gut nearly burst while watching it!! William H. Macy is the funniest person. Not for under age 12 due to "naughty-ness" of jokes. Middle aged men will enjoy this movie the most.

a great clean funny movie
I thought this movie should have been rated PG because there is nothing bad in it becides the river scene when there all naked, but you don't see anything becides dudly's but(william H. Macy) and the gay police officer. And thats all of the inapropriat stuff in Wild Hogs.(the rest is all apropriat for kids 8+).
