Fun Comedy.
Review: ‘Rat Race’ is a comedy film directed by Jerry Zucker. It is based on Stanley Kramer’s 1963 classic ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’. I keep for getting about this movie and when I happen to see it on TV, I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s one of the best ensembles in a comedy to come out of the 21st Century so far. Eccentric tycoon Donald Sinclair – played by John Cleese – devises a game to entertain the high rollers who visit his Las Vegas casino. He arranges for six competitors to race the 563 miles to Silver City, New Mexico, where the winner’s prize of $2 million has been placed in a luggage locker. Unbeknownst to them, Sinclair’s wealthy patrons place bets on who will win it all. Everybody in this movie was born to play the roles they were given. If I had to pick a standout it would have to be a tie between Seth Green and Vince Vieluf. They play brother and the way they can play off each other and make the comedy grow in scenes in fantastic. They are hands down the funniest duo in the film. Is it perfect movie? No, or course it’s not, it’s a fun dumbed down comedy that wants you to have a good time and it succeeds in its mission. If the you don’t think the movie is self aware in the fact that it is a ridiculous concept, wait till the ending and you will realise. Overall, anybody can have fun in this movie if you can turn your brain off and see the movie for what it is. 3.5/5

“YOU…SHOULD…HAVE…BOUGHT…A…SQUIRREL!”
*Contains a few minor spoilers*

It’s been a long, long time since there was a madcap celebrity filled chase film that actually was worth sitting through, and Rat Race succeeds on most levels, breathing some new life into this type of comedy genre.

Whether or not you want to compare it to It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, I liked the sprinkling of cameo roles here and there and the fact that the film just keeps moving. Plenty of creativity no matter how absurd it gets and the sheer zany atmosphere will keep you smiling whether the jokes hit or miss.

First and foremost, Kathy Bates as the squirrel lady STEALS THE WHOLE MOVIE! It was brilliant and sinister all at once. John Lovitz really carries the film and is such a natural (I still think he deserves huge praise for Mom And Dad Save The World). Not only is the Barbie Museum scene excrutiatingly funny (watch his eyes move around!) but his confrontation with the World War II vets will definitely be considered one of comedy’s funniest moments in film. Would have made Mel Brooks proud! While Hollywood seems to be trying to focus so much on “established” tired comics like Eddie Murphy, it’s really guys like Lovitz that have a true knack for comedy. He’s underappreciated and made a great team with Kathy Najimy for this film (what he makes the poor daughter do so to avoid a rest stop is so nuts it brings back quite a few memories of family vacations I was subjected too!). Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s funnier moments were really when he would try to dodge being recognized as “that bonehead,” and Whoopie Goldberg is funny because it almost seems as if her character from Ghost were transplanted into this film. Seth Green is surprisingly likeable though his character stops at nothing to get ahead in the race.

Besides the squirrel bit, other small things really shine more than some of the more played out segments. For instance, the rental car trainee had me really laughing as well as the gentle nature of the skinhead tour guides. These worked better than even the flying cow or the busload of Lucys. You’ll really get a giggle out of the baby on the train, his lack of reaction to Rowan Atkinson made Rowan’s role in the film more worthwhile. Gloria Allred yelling out a building “I SAW THAT! I’LL BE RIGHT DOWN!” when witnessing Wayne Knight running into Rowan Atkinson was a great moment.

While not 100% funny, Rat Race offers just enough zest to keep you entertained. Some of the strangest chases I’ve ever seen, and that helicopter on a rampage is a WOW. It’s also nice to see faces like Rance Howard, Dean Cain, Colleen Camp, Wayne Knight, and Dave Thomas too. All this adds up to quite a lot of fun until the Smash Mouth concert….I don’t mind a happy ending, but this could have been worked out just a little better. It just seems when you put a band that’s popular “at the moment” in a concert scene, especially at the end, the film crashes. Ah well, at least Rat Race offers plenty more to enjoy, and is perfect for a good old silly time.

One thing’s for sure, I can’t get that choir version of the song Rat Race out of my head and I think I’m going to have to go get the soundtrack now!
