Greatest comedy movie!
I loved this movie. Absolutely hilarious! Las Vegas casino owner Donald Sinclair (John Cleese), likes to offer his elite customers-- the `high rollers'-- something they can't get anywhere else, in the form of things they can gamble on that...

Rat Race Quick Review
I was amazed by this movie, because it was much better than it looked. I'd recommend it for a rainy day.

Rat Race Quick Review
They should have just titled this It's a Lame, Lame, Lame, Lame Knockoff! I won't claim there aren't some funny parts, but this rehash of an earlier, better film never lives up to its potential.

Rat Race Quick Review
This movie is a little silly and weird but quite enjoyable. I recomend this movie for some laughs.

Pretty good remake of "It`s a Mad, Mad World"
by M. Shepherd
This movie is a decent updated remake of "It`s a Mad, Mad World".
Not as good as the original, but then few remakes ever come close to matching the original. Given that, it`s still a pretty good
comedy. Even if it does lack the pure raw starpower of the original, most of the actors are in this one are pretty good and turn
in solid performances.
The plot of a good fast paced comedy is always fairly simple and this one is no exception. It`s a race. There is $2 million dollars
waiting to be claimed by the winner. The only rule is get there first any way you can.
5/5
Do it for the money, and you do it for the laughs
by Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
This is probably one of those comedies in which you never expect it to make you laugh. When watching it, you realize that it's done its job VERY well. Oh, yes! This one made me laugh as if I was breathing in laughing gas. The visual gags and verbal humor actually worked. The all-star cast (Cleese, Goldberg, Lovitz, Gooding Jr., Green, Atkinson, etc.) made it all the more enjoyable. The silly adventures (confronting a biker gang, riding on a bus full of Lucy Ricardo lookalikes, meeting a woman who sells squirrels, etc.) are so ridiculous and unbelievable that you can't help but have a good time while watching this film. The only problem I had with the film was when Smash Mouth played their hit single, "All-Star", at the end of the film. I have heard that song WAY too many times now, and I wish the crew used a song that hasn't been overplayed in TV commercials, films, and on the radio.
Otherwise, this is a great comedy. Grade: A-
5/5
THE most hilarious movie I have ever seen!
by fishybidniz.com (Belleville, IL USA)
I love comedies, but this movie has me rolling on the floor every time I watch it. The creators and writers keep you laughing the whole way through this movie and it honestly has your stomach muscles aching from so much laughter in the end! (Maybe it should have been marketed as an exercise video! LOL). In any event, this is an awesomely funny movie. I think just about anyone would enjoy this star studded movie! I bought it because I just HAVE to loan it to anyone I know that hasn't seen it!
5/5
Perfect Comedy!!!
by Pumpkin Man
To me, Rat Race is like an awesome updated version of 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.' A gambling billionaire named Donald Sinclair picks 8 random people to race to Silver City, New Mexico at a Train Station to recieve $2 million. After they all agree to go after it, they travel by any means necessary to get there. It's hilarious how they all try to get there! Who gets it? You have to join the RAT RACE!!!
5/5
Great music and quick delivery.
by R. Smith (Chico, CA)
The CD was everything I expected it to be. Thank you! My only suggestion is that CD's should be shipped in a well-padded envelope as the case was cracked when I received it. No big deal though; it's the music that counts! :)
Rat Race (Special Collector's Edition) Summary
Array
The Laughs Roll From Start To Finish When A Group Of Crazed Contestants Compete For $2 Million In A No-rules, Winner-takes-all Race.
Modeled after 1963's
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
, Jerry Zucker's
Rat Race
lacks the irreverence of Zucker's 1980 hit
Airplane!
but has enough chuckles to make it an agreeable time-killer. Like
Mad, Mad, Mad...
, it employs a huge ensemble of comedy stalwarts, assembled by an eccentric hotelier (pearly-toothed John Cleese) to race from Las Vegas to New Mexico for a $2 million jackpot. With a backstage gambling subplot, Rowan Atkinson's Italian-geek lunacy, Seth Green's slacker antics, and some nicely understated work from SCTV alumnus Dave Thomas, the movie has almost as many highlights as clunkers, and Zucker's embrace of easy gags and traditional slapstick will tickle anyone's old-fashioned funny bone. Other ingredients are hopelessly stale: Whoopi Goldberg's frantic mugging, Cuba Gooding's latter-day Stepin Fetchit, "mature" humor that compromises the movie's broad appeal, and the assumption that crashing vehicles are inherently hilarious. Lamentable decisions, perhaps, but
Rat Race
maintains a pleasantly altruistic spirit.
