  1. The funniest film to come along since "South Park," and one that succeeds in a more difficult and satisfying way.
  2. The easygoing silliness with which this late-summer movie surprise scuttles from mayhem to mayhem and the verve with which the cast throws itself into the fray are so cheering and liberating.
  3. Even though this will not go down as a great Zucker comedy, he has made Rat Race funnier than it could reasonably hope to be.
  4. 50
    Hits its silly stride early and never shifts into a higher gear.
  5. 38
    Despite these flaws, people sick of gross-out films and teen-sex comedy may be so hungry for farce that they laugh.
  6. There's nothing more enervating than a stupid film with only random, and perhaps accidental, flashes of smarts; the rare prescient moments only serve to highlight how banal and vacant the rest of the movie is, especially when it stoops to conquer the gross-out market bled dry by the Farrelly Brothers and their myriad acolytes.

    The best comedy film ever
    One single cast member would have been a funny movie, but there's a lot of talent and great situational comedy.

    Hilarious film with an uncountable amount of great actors pitching in. My only issue is regarding the ending - how cheesy could you get?

    A pretty clever movie with lots of big names. Everybody has their moments and there is laughs throughout the movie. The really good thingA pretty clever movie with lots of big names.

    How do people think this movie is good? Rat Race is a horrible, annoying, and unfunny movie that should've never been made.
