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.

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!

Bought this as a gift and it arrived with a puncture in the case, along with the other items I ordered, all damaged!

This was the oddest, wierdest, strangest, dumbest, movie in the world! I LOVED (...) It was really stupied some of the things that happened like one of the guys found a bus full of I Love Lucy impersinators to that whole "Squirrel thing." But it's an awesome, hilarious movie and I loved it.

I go to the Movies twice a week since 2000. When I saw Rat Race in 2001, it was my favorite movie. Even though I see 2 movies a week (104 movies a year) Still that movie back in 2001 is still to this day my favorite movie. It was so funny! Best Movie for kids even better for adults! I bought this dvd last year and i watch it every day and it never gets boring.

I LOVE RAT RACE!

The Hitler scene is probably my favorit movie comedy scene since I can remember, and though the entire movie doesn't have me rolling in the aisles, it's all worth watching. If you're looking for sophisticated and highbrow, this might not meet your fancy, but for everyone else I don't think you can go wrong with this comedy.

Watching this movie has been one of the distinguishing moments in my life. This is the funniest movie that was ever made and ever wil be made! Picture this, a rich eccentric casino owner who creates the biggest gambling event in the world. He randomly chooses seven random parties to race for million dollars. This race puts all the contestents on the edge with hilarious sanity testing events that slow all of them up. A home depot working and his wife and kids, a foreign man, two frauding brothers, a strange lady and her daughter, an outcast football ref, and a guy who doesn't even want the race to happen! Watch as the contestents rip each other apart for the money. Who will win?

Great movie - really funny, especially if you enjoy slapstick humor. I love the flying cow. ;-)

Just as it was seeming like classic comedys had been a thing of the past, they finally made this great comedy! Not since Cannonball had such a great allstar cast been put together to make such a great comedy of this remake of RATRACE!

This movie is like the Cannonball run movies! Its packed with great comedy, fun for the familly and amazingly each charactor has a completly diffrent personality to the others!

This is a great movie and well worth buying if your into these whacky car race movies!

Half the bonues features are worth a look at, and some of them are quite boring, espeichlly the audio phone calls to talk to the cast after the release of the movie...ZZZzzzzzzz, tho you might find it intresting?! But the movie it self is one of the best comedys in years!

This movie always comes first to mind when we've had a rough day and just want to laugh. It's just one silly situation after another.
