JOHN TRAVOLTA - WILD HOGS TOPS UK BOX OFFICE

John Travolta's motorbike comedy Wild Hogs has topped the UK box office, knocking Mr Bean's Holiday down to second position.

Data from Screen International shows that Wild Hogs took £1.69 million over the weekend, including previews, while Mr Bean's Holiday managed £1.52 million.

Rowan Atkinson's film, which brings back the bumbling, brown-suited Bean, has now taken £18.3 million overall.

Travolta's new movie boasts a line-up of Hollywood legends including himself, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, Ray Liotta and William H Macy.

The plot follows four biker friends, led by Travolta, who embark on a road trip where they find a world full of the unexpected.

But complimentary comments haven't been forthcoming from film critics, with the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw describing it as "not an easy ride".

Although the film promised to "revive the career of Liotta", the Guardian concluded that he has a "crudely and unfunnily written supporting role as an evil biker".

The rest of the top five included Will Ferrell's Blades of Glory, Shooter which stars Mark Wahlberg and the war epic 300.
