Pros: funny!

For as many big-name stars as this movie features, it's absolutely horrible. You can count on one hand the number of scenes that are legitimately funny.

Some many good scenes and so many bad!

When I watched the Jon Lovitz family in this film I laughed so much! But when I watched the stupid Amy Smart and Breckin Meyer screwing around I almost burned the DVD! Now this is a movie that is about six "teams" that are racing for two million doll...ars. The first one of them in Silver City, New Mexico is the winner. The race begins... The first team is the least funny team: Nick (Meyer) and Tracy (Smart). Nick is a rich wimpy and Tracy's a weird female chopper pilot. Team number 2: Vera (Whoopi Goldberg) and her daughter Merrill (Lanai Chapman). Well, they're not so funny either... They have their moments, but the one great thing in their story is a psycho woman played by Kathy Bates. Team number 3: Randy Pear (Lovitz) with his wife and kids. Now they're the funniest! Their story makes fun of Hitler, barbies, everything! Team number 4: Enrico Pollini (Rowan Atkinson), an italian moron who gets help from an ambulance driver (Wayne Knight) on the way. Team number 5: A dumb football referee, Owen Templeton (Cuba Gooding Jr). Team number 6: Duane and Blaine Cody. Two brothers with no brains... Well, watch the movie but I'm telling you: It's NOT the best thing Jerry Zucker has done! Read more Less

Rat Race has to be the best comedy of the year. I couldn't quit laughing at the two brothers and their satellite dish incident and the compulsive gambling millionaires are hilarious. I would like to see a Rat Race/Cannonball Run DVD set. Go see th...is movie if you love comedy! Read more Less

This beats alll

Considering that Funny Farm used to be my all time favorite comedy, this had some competition... and it blew FF off the farm! The only thing it was missing was Chevy Chase.. well, maybe there'll be a RR2 w/him. Meanwhile, I haven't laughed so hard i...n ages. Especially everytime Seth Green's brother screamed..that was the best. A must have video...a must party movie. Read more Less

I'm still aching

First check my name to see why I might be inclined to like this movie. Second, I can not remember a time when I laughed out loud so much and with such intensity. Wait a minute, yes I can... 1973 when I first went to see "The Groove Tube". I had to... leave the room a couple of times to keep from actually causing myself physical damage. This has to be the best time you can have watching a movie. If you're in a bad mood or had a miserable day... this will definitely pull you out of it. I didn't expect much from this movie... but was pleasantly surprised and impressed. I rented the movie... but I'm headed to the store to buy the DVD. Read more Less

got to agree

I can't imagine why this got some bad reviews, but there were some very good ones too. I had a bad feeling about it when I first saw previews but then wanted to judge for myself. It's really the only film in recent memory where I can remember sitti...ng there with a big, dumb grin on my face the whole time. Best scene: a toss-up between the Lucys and the, ahem, Barbir Museum.
