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. --Jeff Shannon

- Love this movie!I thought it would be just a remake of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", but it is hilarious! Kathy Bates' uncredited cameo as the Squirrel Lady is not to be missed.

- A race worth running...I've seen `It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' and loved it, so I was setting myself up for disappointment with `Rat Race'; Zucker's 2001 comedy which drew immense inspiration from the later, but what I found was a delightful comedy that surpassed my expectations and can stand on it's own, apart from the original. Sure, there are some drawbacks, but to me those drawbacks are few and far-in-between.
The film revolves around a random group of people who are given the chance to win two ... Read More

- The Best Movie EVER!Love the movie! You have to see it several times to really get every detail. It's also much more fun to watch it with at least three people.
