czilla138 I could only watch a little bit of this move as it got worse, and worse. I can not stand a movie where every single person doesn't have one ounce of common sense. If they were going for slap stick comedy they failed miserably. Maybe if a couple of people were stupid it would have been a better movie, but when EVERYONE lacks any common sense at all just makes it worse. I got the plot of the movie, and it would have worked out very nicely, but the screenwriter, and director just made this a terrible horrible movie to have to sit through. I am glad I caught it on t.v., and didn't spend any money to watch it. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I do like slap stick, and really did like the "Dumb and dumber" movies, but this one not only fell short, it fell off a cliff.

lisafordeay Rat Race is a screwball comedy about these people(Brecklin Meyer from Garfield,Seth Green,Whoppi Goldberg,Rowan Atkinson,Green's on screen friend and Goldberg's on screen daughter,Jon Lovitz,Katy Najamy,and Cuba Gooding JR) who have to go to Silver City New Mexico ,to receive 2 million dollars that's locked up in a locker. Of course since this is a comedy there is A lot of silliness going on including Cuba being lost in a desert as his taxi driver throw him out because Gooding Jr was a failed referee and he meets a bunch of Lucy impersonators,one of them was a transvestite,another where Goldberg and her on screen daughter met a squirrel lady and she sent them to a dead end,Green and his friend trying to stop the plane from leaving and Green's jeep getting tangled up in the signals,the list goes on and on. Rowan Atkinson was hilarious as an Italian who has a sleeping disorder and he always says Its a race I hope I win and he meets Wayne Knight who's a delivery man who carries a heart for a heart transplant patient that somehow gets lost,and even John Cleese is in this movie as the man who organized the race in the first place.Overall if you love a screwball comedy with plenty of laughs like Dumb & Dumber(Favourite comedy of all time) than check this out.

FilmBuff1994 Rat Race is a good movie with a pretty good storyline that is without a doubt more original and a lot funnier than a lot of comedies similar to this (Road Trip,Dude Where's My Car,etc) and a very good cast that are funny and energetic from start to finish.The movie was definitely just set up for a lot of funny mishaps between the different,this usually bothers me when the story is set up just for laughs,most of them being visual,but I overall enjoyed in in this,it was fast paced and spaced out the amount of time for each character well.My favourite storyline is either Jon Lovitz,mainly because the dialogue between him and his wife and kids was hilarious and if they had their own Vacation type of movie I would definitely watch it,or Cuba Gooding Jr.,his character was really funny because of how competitive he was and I found the situations he was put in some of the most enjoyable,also it was a very different role him.The only storyline I didn't really enjoy was Whoopi Goldberg and Lanei Chapman,I found their characters irritating (especially Goldbergs) and the situations they were put in to (especially the squirrel one) was just stupid and didn't make me laugh.Rat Race is in no way a perfect comedy,but its fun and different cast should keep many people entertained and many parts are funny enough for you to ignore the parts that wern't.Wealthy man Donald Sinclair (John Cleese) sets up a race between six groups of people in which the first to make it to a locker in New Mexico will receive $2 million.

shadrian1983 From start to finish I laughed the entire movie. I had abdominal pains the next day from laughing so hard. It is such a super random, non-stop hilarious comedy! Combines gambling, narcolepsy, political (Hitler) comedy, competitive nature of people, etc. So many story lines but doesn't get confusing, keeps it interesting. No gaps in the comedy/story line that leave you bored. You stay interested and laughing the whole entire movie. The best part is when the family is riding in Hitler's car and the comedy that ensues. It really is a super hilarious movie. My second favorite comedy of all time! There are so many great actors and hilarious quotable scenes!
