    I forgot I had this on DVD, nothing special, enjoyable with some funny parts, but for the most part forgettable.

    The only good part about this movie was the new phrase I learned: "Prairie dogging it! "My husband will now announce this to me when he has to go #2 really badly .

    Not nearly as good as Mad Mad World. The cast does not work well as an ensemble.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

An overheated, underdone farce. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Rat Race is much funnier than most comedies currently in release -- compared with American Pie 2 ... But ultimately it falls just short of the finish line. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The funniest film to come along since South Park. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Take a couple of laughs here, a couple of smirks there, and the conclusion is obvious: If ever there was a movie designed with the fast-forward button in mind, Rat Race is the one. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

With alarmingly few exceptions ... nothing that occurs can remotely be construed as humorous. full review

    This was a pisser. A bunch of randomly picked misfits set after two million dollars. Using their greed as their motivation, they all run into different, equally entertaining problems.

    Justins Best Bit: Rowan Atkinson as a narcoleptic spoon.

    This movie was incrediblily funny. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it, but like 10 minutes into the movie the laughing started. It was great. One of the funniest movies i've seen. You will laugh until you cry, and you will love the ending!
