Boston Globe, Ty Burr says: "The film's a bumptious weekend ride: The engine could use tuning and the plugs are shot, but it gets you most of the way there." This was one of the better ratings. The thing you need to note is the difference between the Critics and the Users rating. We sat in the theatre and laughed heartedly with the others there, were fabulously entertained, and really felt we had got our money worth. And judging from the audience reaction they felt the same. Thus the difference. No it was not a deep screen play, and yes it was a little goofy, but in this high stress world this movie gave us respite from the deep issues facing the world, and we escaped it all with the actors. I'll bet the cumulative blood pressure was down 25%. Don't worry about the flaws, just sit back and enjoy. Hilarious! If that doesn't suit the Critics, they need to get a life.

Storyline From Yahoo: A group of middle-aged friends decide to rev up their routine suburban lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can't wait to feel the freedom of the open road. When this mis-matched foursome - who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle - set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for. The trip begins to challenge their wits and their luck, especially during a chance run-in with the Del Fuegos, a real-life biker gang who are less than amused with their novice approach. As they go looking for adventure, they soon find that they've embarked on a journey they will never forget.
