The category for this post should really be Fun with the BOYS... I had the chance to watch Wild Hogs over the weekend on DVD - and if you don't have this movie in your movie library go and get it now!

I can't remember when I've laughed so much! Comedies today are usually tasteless, IMHO.. so I was leary of this one. However, I cannot resist a John Travolta movie. He's the best thing to come along since... since... Godiva Chocolates! I had high expectations of him and he delivered. His character, Woody, is classic! But... to my dismay, Travolta did not carry the movie, William H. Macy carried the movie. HE had me at... "Watch out!" A shout I couldn't resist, very early in the show.

Here's the scoop, four middle aged guys, distressed with a mid-life crisis and families that either aren't tuned in or are too busy to notice, decide to ride the road... on their Harleys. (I have to admit I was comparing this movie to movies from the bygone era of the late, great Jack Lemmon ...now there's someone who knew how to be funny on camera!) Of course, the 'dudes' get into all sorts of trouble...some predictable, some not. The point is, they're believable. They do stupid things that make you laugh out loud... they maintain their true character personalities while trying to be biker dudes. And, of course, they cause mayhem all around them.

And, throughout, the most fun is with Dudley, the Geek, played by Macy. Of all the characters, he matched his in look and feel to the point that I almost forgot I was watching a fictional story. When he finally got the girl - and then left her behind, I was really bummed!

Love the story, love the acting, love the comedy. The trouble with the biker gang they run into (literally, in more ways than one) was a bit far-fetched, but it played to the comedic parts of the movie. Travolta takes the applause for that. And, Ray Liotta was just outstanding.

Okay...I've said enough. Why aren't you clicking over to the DVD site and ordering Wild Hogs, like now?
