Way better than the reviews say

I just got back from the theater and I gotta say, Wild Hogs was hilarious!It's a great mid-life-crisis type movie. Good, plain old funny. Making straight-up funny jokes like peeing on the side of the road and phrases like "...If we're gonna drink p***, we're gonna drink it cold!".

A couple hilarious scenes with Ray Liotta as a VERY bad boy as he usually plays and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs). And he looked VERY good in that highway patrolman uniform.

I would have liked to have heard Tim Allen let out one of those simian growls like on Home Improvement and seen Jon Travolta dance a little. Of all the roles in the movie, I think William H. Macy got the best one. He had the best jokes and physical comedy.

So ignore the and 'professional' critics and ask someone who actually saw it
