Rebeldes con causa

18 August 2007. Even though there were few discontinuities, explanatory scenes left out, overall this movie is one of the more hilarious and funny movies of the year. It manages to maintain its sense of bewildering, humorous sight gags. William Macy is great, being the classic but sophisticated computer nerd while John Travolta gets to show off some of his breadth of both comedic and drama acting. This movie one of the best smooth endings into the credits and a satisfyingly decent if not completely believable twist. There is the typical macho, middle age man crises along the lines of "City Slickers." However, in this movie there is a better blending of home and family, interaction with the motorcycle gang Wildhogs as well as more social interaction with other characters. Presenting a performance and script above expectations, eight out of Ten Stars.

Four guys in their late forties - probably more early fifties ... ;-) – go through their midlife crisis. No matter if loving, nagging or no wife, life is just not what it used to be – or ever was. Adventures are searched for, and John Travolta (not acting his best in this movie) has the saving idea for his buddies: a real road trip on their bikes instead of their usual short trip to a biker bar once a week.

Like in "City Slickers" the men have to go through some adventures and become heroes before they emerge with new energy to battle the next years of getting older ... however, the adventures these guys have on their trip are hilarious. The end slows down a bit with its predictability but this movie is very entertaining, funny and the ticket money well worth.

From a Disney story about middle aged blokes riding motorbikes... It's funny in places, has some great actors in it and it's just about okay for the family (The cop stuff could be an issue for youngens).

But after a sunday dinner, with a bevvy, with the family, it can be a nice adventure comedy to stick on. Ignore the hate and try it honestly...

I know it's a cliché, but this is a "must see movie". It was the shortest 99 minutes I have ever spent watching a movie. Ninety-nine minutes without a let-up or a let-down. Ninety-nine minutes of hilarity. Even thought this movie was funny, it also had redeeming values! We get to learn that men who thought they were wimps discover they have a pair of balls. The rules say this review must be at least ten lines. Ten lines are not really necessary for this action/comedy. It was fast. It was funny. Go see it. I guess I've got to add more lines to get this qualified. You will see a side of John Travolta that you haven't seen before. The same with William Macey. Tim Allen was Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence was Martin Lawrence. Ray Liota, as always, was great. And Marisa Tomei as beautiful as ever. Go see it.

So last night i went and saw a sneak preview of this movie. I figured it would be like a lot of recent mainstream comedies where all the funny parts were in the commercial. Not True. I started laughing within the first 5 minutes and didn't stop for almost the rest of the movie. Same goes for my mother, who in her laughter accidentally spit soda all over the man in front of her, to my 11 year old brother. I would warn you if you are considering taking kids under the age of 8 there is a surprising amount of profanity (when i went i thought it was a kids movie) and sexual humor. I would say go see it in theaters, it is one of the funniest mainstream comedies i have seen in a while.
