Rat Race

Rat Race (2001) PG-13


Directed by Jerry Zucker


Starring:  John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Seth Green, Jon Lovitz, Breckin Meyer, Amy Smart, Kathy Najimy, and Dean Cain


Here We Go:
 A group of people are selected by a wacky rich guy to race each other from Vegas to a train station in New Mexico, and whoever gets there first gets $2 million.  The obstacles that these characters encounter along their way are hysterical.  This movie has everything from Lucille Ball impersonators to a Jewish family riding around in Hitler's car.  Sure, some of the comedy bits are absurd and cheeky, but sometimes it's that light, comedic absurdity that really triggers the funny bone.  Jon Lovitz couldn't have done more to make me laugh - his facial expressions alone are classic.  If you're looking for an easy and light movie that offers plenty of laughs, this is the movie.


Bottom Line:  Watch it!  It's just plain funny.
