Movie Reviews of Rat Race (Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: "It's a Race, It's a Race ... Zzzzzzzzzzzz"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies that I have seen about a dozen or so times. When I saw it in the movie theater, I nearly busted a gut. It's the kind of humor I love, real slapstick, in the genre of movies like "Airplane" or "Vacation". Completely goofy and entertaining with a fun cast who really pull off a very entertaining movie.
I owned Rat Race in VHS and am now in the process of replacing it on DVD. There are not many movies I have replaced in this manner -- but this one is just mindless entertainment. And sometimes you really need that.
If you are seeking a good laugh, nothing deep or inspirational ... just downright funny. Grab this one. It's great! :)
Summary of Rat Race (Special Collector's Edition)
An all-star comedy cast brings laughs from start to finish when a casino tycoon gives six money-crazed contestants the chance to win $2 million in a race from Las Vegas to New Mexico. Who will win this dash for the cash is anybody's guess but one thing is for sure - it's going to be a hilarious ride.System Requirements:Starring: Rowan Atkinson John Cleese Whoopi Goldberg Cuba Gooding Jr. Seth Green John Lovitz Breckin Meyer Kathy Najimy Amy Smart. Directed By: Jerry Zucker. Running Time: 112 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2002 Paramount Pictures.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?097363368441 Manufacturer No:?336844Modeled 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
