Weekend warriors: John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H Macy and Tim Allen as an unlikely quartet of bikers
10 April 2012

This is truly awful. It has Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H Macy as four suburban weekend warriors taking off their boring city suits and becoming bikers.

When they meet the Del Fuegos, real badass examples of the ilk, they are suitably nonplussed. But they somehow manage to defeat the pros when they try to terrorise a small country township.

The usual problem soon exhibits itself. No proper screenplay and far too much only fair to moderate slapstick.

Travolta, looking more and more like a man who's stopped trying, is particularly tiresome and Tim Allen increases the suspicion that he's a star largely by default.

Only Macy and Lawrence give us glimmers of what might have been. But it isn't nearly enough. Walt Becker is the director, and it looks as if he's making for the exit as fast as possible.
