Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie is so funny. I laughed so hard at every scene. The cast was wonderful (I have to say though that the Rowan Atkinson scenes were not my favorite). The DVD is great. The gag reel and the behind the scenes features are as funny or fun as the movie itself. The DVD also has a cool feature where the producer and thr writer call the actors and talk to them. If you like any of the actors you'll love this feature.

Summary: Hysterical!!
Review: One of the funniest films I have ever seen!! It was outrageously funny. The first time I watched it was at home on DVD. I was laughing so hard that I had to stop the DVD while I fell on the floor for about 5 minutes of hysterical laughter!! I highly recommend this film. It's absolutely brilliant.

Summary: The wildest comedy you'll ever see!
Review: "Rat Race" is a hilarious, upbeat film with an A-list of stars and a smart script. John Cleese stars as a rich Las Vegas hotel owner who lurs six money-hungry people into a race from Las Vegas to Silver City, New Mexico to find a locker with $2 million. The first to the locker wins the money. And the only rule is: there are no rules. Now the six contestants are on their way to try to be the first to win the money...and they'll do whatever it takes. And all the while, they are being watched and Donald Sinclair (Cleese) is letting other rich people make bets on who will win!The film also stars Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Seth Green, Jon Lovitz, Breckin Meyer, Kathy Najimy, Amy Smart, and a cameo by Kathy Bates and the pop/rock band, Smash Mouth. Each contestant tries to find their own way to get to the lockers...and there is a surprising ending! "Rat Race" will have you laughing hysterically non-stop until the very ending credits. The film's moral is that some people really will do anything for money...even make complete fools out of themselves in the process. This is no Oscar-worthy film, but it doesn't need to be. It has an excellent script and storyline, and fabulous, believable acting. The DVD is not so great, because there really are no special features. But the film itself is definitely worth seeing. The DVD also comes in wide screen format. Don't miss this one! I highly recommend "Rat Race". Score:
100/100

Summary: Pleasant enough comedy
Review: It's a fair bet that the majority of people, including me, went to see this movie because of its impressive cast. Yet this is no 'Short Cuts' or 'Magnolia' but a sprawling comedy that has its celebrities each racing to win two million dollars from gambling fiend John Cleese. Of course, like all movies with huge casts, there are plots you enjoy more than others and occasionally you are left waiting for one story to finish so you can get to the next one. Inevitably this will depend on which of the actors you prefer. Personally I thought Seth Green's story was the best, as he and his brother, who can't speak properly due to an accident where he tried to pierce his own tongue. Whoopi Goldberg, playing a woman reunited with her long-lost daughter, also comes across well. Lines such as 'Ooh good - a scam!' just roll off her tongue magnificently. Breckin Myer (in a performance that makes him look uncannily like Noah Wyle) and Amy Smart, a seemingly psychotic helicoptor pilot, are also great entertainment. Unfortunately, this leaves Rowan Atkinson, in a very unfortunate role, and Chris Rock who aren't bad so much as boring. There are parts of this comedy that are absolutely hilarious, although in between you might feel like you've been waiting forever. Yet the sheer novelty of seeing so many big names all together in one movie is rarely lost, and when the plot is at its silliest it's also at its best. This may be no comedy classic but it's not to be sniffed at.

Summary: 3.5 stars; Entertaining, Funny Film
Review: Jerry Zucker's RAT RACE (2001), a new entry in the MAD-GUMBALL-SCAVENGER-CANNONBALL RUN tradition, is not the classic that the 1963 film IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD was (& still is), but it is funnier and more entertaining than the latter three films combined (actually four, if you include CANNONBALL RUN 2). It stars the winning Breckin Meyer (remember him as the stoner-skateboarder in 1995's CLUELESS?) in his first starring role ever--quite a feat in a movie that also stars Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, and Rowan Atkinson! Meyer is Nick Schaffer, a nice young guy who has just returned from his best friend's bachelor party and, of course, is asked when he will settle down himself. But good-hearted Nick, while not exactly a wild child, still isn't ready. However, while passing through a Las Vegas casino and finally tempted to put a quarter in a slot machine, he becomes embroiled in the adventure of his lifetime, as casino-owner/billionaire-boys-club organizer John P. Sinclair (Cleese) fixes certain slots to pay out six special tokens. These tokens have a room number printed on them, beckoning Schaffer, along with the NFL's worst referee (Gooding, Jr.), a harried mother (Goldberg) and her on-the-go-biz-minded daughter (Lanai Chapman), two party-dude brothers (Seth Green and newcomer Vince Vieluf), and a bumbling Italian funnyman (Atkinson, doing his best Roberto Benigni impression). Of course, these largely dimwitted characters are the unwitting participants in Sinclair's latest game to amuse himself and his billionaire buddies. The goal: find $2 million locked in a train station safe 563 miles away in Silver City, New Mexico---winner takes all, naturally! Just as with all of the previous treatments of the same basic theme, the point of watching is not to see who wins, but to see what incredibly incredulous situations these greedy, wacky characters can get themselves into. See hapless referee Cuba Gooding, Jr. being even more hapless behind the wheel of a touring bus--of "I Love Lucy" conventioneers. See hapless dad Jon Lovitz who essentially kidnaps his entire family to join him on the ride, and ends up taking them on a tour of the "Barbie Museum" (which sets up this film's funniest series of gags, if not most controversial). See hapless Rowan Atkinson making mincemeat of the English language through his character's overly engaging Italian accent--and falling asleep at the least opportune times as he happens to be narcoleptic. Breckin Meyer essentially plays the straight man to everyone else's bunch of rodeo clowns, but his character is no less the [end] of the film's joke, as he gets into trouble with his too-trusting nature. I will not give away any of the film's surprisingly funny scenes. I will simply say that although many of its characters are rather stupid, the movie itself is not. I laughed at the vast majority of jokes. So this isn't AIRPLANE or THE NAKED GUN--it isn't trying to be! It is, however, funny and fast-paced. Besides, you just can't hate a film that gives us cameos by wonderful stage veteran Kathy Bates and feminist attorney Gloria Allred! RECOMMENDED

Summary: It's okay but suffers from bad timing
Review: This movie is okay. Just okay. Nothing outstanding and more than a few bad things. Most of the characters are likable, and they do get into some funny spots. It could have been a lot better but I'm not sure who to blame. It also, I think, suffers from some bad timing in the world. It seems a lot less funny now to mess around with an airport radar or dig around in a baby's pants. Airport sabotage and improper conduct with children jokes just are not so funny anymore, because of world events. I think the Hitler gag was just bad taste. I just bought this movie out of the blue. It's not bad enough for me to get rid of it, but I do not htink I would buy it again.

Summary: That's Hollywood!
Review: Here is another attempt of burned out, no talent, no creativity, poor acting in what we call Hollywood. When will Hollywood learn that they cannot improve on the classics. This movie is modeled after "It's a Mad Mad Mad World" and it has failed terribly.If you want to see a really great comedy from the Hollywood that no longer exist because of lack of talent, lack of directors and lack of producers buy the DVD of "Mad World". You will not be disappointed and it's in it's Roadshow attire.
