Rat Race
A Las Vegas casino owner desperate for a new 'event' to wager on invents a human race for cash. The competitors are Owen who ends up driving a bus full of Lucille Ball imitators, a foreigner who hitches a ride in an organ donor vehicle, and a recently reunited mother and daughter who anger a 'squirrel lady', much to their regret. There are also two con artist brothers, the upright Nick, who gets a lift from cute but psychotic pilot Tracy, and the eccentric Pear family.

Manic, messy, and for the most part silly, this road comedy marks Zucker's bumpy return to the genre after a number of equally bumpy dramas such as First Knight.

Some great moments, but with the talent on offer, this film should have broken ribs.

Oh, you dirty rat!

Vulgar and lowbrow, but very funny.

... the only real surprise is how genuinely dreadful a movie that aims only for pleasant, profitable mediocrity can be.

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

Ruthlessly dumb people--but funny, too.

Fitfully amusing farce.

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

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.

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

An overheated, underdone farce.
