This road-trip comedy follows four suburban, middle-aged friends (Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy) who form a weekend motorcycle club to escape their mundane lives, only to run afoul of an intimidating real biker gang after a roadside altercation. The film mines its humor from the gap between the men's soft, comfortable lives and their fantasies of outlaw freedom, building to a climactic confrontation that lets them prove their mettle. Despite lukewarm reviews, the film's appeal to older audiences made it a surprise box-office hit. It remains a snapshot of mid-2000s star-studded, broad studio comedy aimed squarely at adult moviegoers rather than teens.
