5.0 out of 5 stars You Should Have Bought the Squirrel.....Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!, April 26 2004

By

Joseph J. Slevin (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rat Race (Widescreen) (DVD)

Where do these writers come up with these insanely funny ideas that make you laugh almost the whole time.....lines like, "I'm prairie dogging.....", Gloria Allred making fun of herself...., Amy Smart being angry then nice. There are too many funny one liners that you laugh and laugh. The casting, the scenes, the mood is one of just great fun.

Jon Lovitz is really funny having a run in with skin heads and driving a car belonging to a very famous Nazi. One way that this flick exceeded Mad....World is that you had a couple, a whole family, a mom and her daughter, a couple of teenage guys, along with a smattering of single males working their way across the desert from Las Vegas to Silver City New Mexico. Anyone who has driven across the desert will recognize some of the places.....is there really a Barbie Museum :-). How funny can you get???

Cuba Gooding does a very funny job as a professional referee down on his luck, meeting the Lucy convention....where did that come from? The girls doing the Lucy imitations were a great treat...so very fun to see so many have the opportunity to be in a movie.

The movie is fast action, there is a lot of stories all coming together, you have the unigue scenes relating to a couple who just met, a whole family, a mother and daughter, two older teenagers, a few single people all going for the same reward and each taking their own route to the train station.

Look for funny lines like..."how do you start it.." I mean really, who thought of that? It is just plain funny. I can't understand how anyone could not rate this a pure 5 all the way.

I have recommended Rat Race to all of my friends, and I do not do that with many movies.....get Rat Race and have a good two hours of side splitting fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MAZE FOR FUNNY RATS, April 19 2004

By

Michael Butts (Berkeley Springs, WV USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Rat Race (Widescreen) (DVD)

What made RAT RACE such fun for me was the fact that director Zucker gave all of his cast some pretty funny moments, without focusing on one particular star. Rowan Atkinson, reminiscent of Roberto Bellignini, was the only one who wore thin, but the rest of the players had some truly hilarious moments: Seth Green and Vince Vieluf as the clueless brothers; Whoopi Goldberg and Lanei Chapman as the recently united mother and daughter; Jon Lovitz and Kathy Najimy as the Jews who steal Hitler's car!; Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart, who are the closest to "normal" even have a funny scene with hunk actor Dean Cain; John Cleese is his formidable self; Cuba Gooding mugs effectively, and Dave Thomas has some hilarious moments as the man born without a personality. The flying cow, the monster trucks, the Lucy convention all add up to some typically zany Zucker antics! I laughed and enjoyed myself. That's what movies like this are for!
