Wild Hogs Makes John Travolta A Weekend Box Office Star Again

City Slickers was a good little film, wasn’t it? But you know what would have made it better? John Travolta instead of Billy Crystal, and Martin Lawrence, Tim Allen and William H Macy instead of those other ones – and we’re not alone in thinking this.

Wild Hogs – which is more or less what we’ve described, but with motorbikes instead of horses and cloying sentimentality instead of modern-day Jewish emasculation – is the number one movie at the weekend box office this week. And quite right too, because the world is full of people who desperate want to make a weekend box office success of Wild Hogs – after all, who doesn’t want to see a movie where the power-house leads of Be Cool, The Shaggy Dog, Big Momma’s House 2 and It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie collide?

Anyone?
