Laugh out loud funny. I really enjoyed this one. The four guys completed clicked with eachother, and a very solid group of actors.

Definitely a buy, when it hits DVD. Worth the price of admission as well.

Now I want a Harley!

    Ya, cause it isn't politically correct. That's half the humor.

    If you are offended by homophobia, don't see it! Otherwise, you will enjoy it.

    I would guess Rotten Tomatoes is rating it poorly for reasons beyond its PC-lessness.

    It looks terrible to me, but maybe I'll rent it now.

    Saw the week it came out , it was okay, a rent at best when it comes to DVD. Travolta's acting was way to over top for me, he just didn't seem to fit in with the other guys, maybe that was part of the role, I don't know, but he just seemed out of place to me. There are some laugh out loud scenes as well, the part where there all skinny dipping in the road side pond was pretty good.

    I've learned not to touch any movie with Tim Allen in it. Even w/o him I doubt I'd have much interest seeing it. Maybe I'll put it in at the bottom of my Netflix queue and see if it ever gets to the top.

    Oh yeah, Travolta. Thats why I didn't want to see it.

    And its no suprise that he is over acting.

    I guess you just have to simply want to be entertained when you go to the movies. I busted a gut laughing all the way through this movie. I guess having riden a motorcycle all my life I saw extra humor in this one! I thought the two ends of the spectrum between Travolta and Tim Allen was hilarious! The scene in the bar when Travolta is just squinting ala Eastwood about made me pee down my leg!

    Wife and I went last weekend and loved it, humor geared toward our age group... Everyone there appeared to be around the same age, there was a very good response from everyone who sat around us...
