Fitfully amusing farce.

An overheated, underdone farce.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 27, 2001

A few decent running gags ... and an ocean of bad ones.

Full Review | Aug 21, 2001

It is outrageous, cheerfully vulgar, undeniably lowbrow, and very, very funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2001

Goes for fast and dumb, and dammit if it doesn't connect dead-on with the funnny bone.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 20, 2001

Race, which delights in bashing all manner of transportation, hits its silly stride early and never shifts into a higher gear.

It's a mad mad mad mad world, all right, and Rat Race makes it seem all the zanier.

Full Review | Aug 17, 2001

Rat Race is much funnier than most comedies currently in release -- compared with American Pie 2 ... But ultimately it falls just short of the finish line.

The funniest film to come along since South Park.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 17, 2001

These people, and the actors who play them, work so very hard that just watching them tires you out.

Zucker, who's been dabbling in tearjerkers like Ghost for the past decade, is a little rusty.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2001

Expert comic performers and a broad script that avoids mean-spiritedness create surprising laughs.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 17, 2001

If you don't think Hollywood movies have gone all soft in the head and heart, compare the sticky sweet ending of this with the finale to It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

| Aug 17, 2001

Take a couple of laughs here, a couple of smirks there, and the conclusion is obvious: If ever there was a movie designed with the fast-forward button in mind, Rat Race is the one.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2001

Terminally dumb, noisy and tasteless, Rat Race is the quintessential big-studio August movie, one for the summer season's dumping ground.

Hollywood Squares remake of Mad World.
