This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Jerry Zucker tryed made another Mad Mad World badly by the way,the unique character who deserves some coments is Jon Lovitz which has good and funny scenes mainly like Hitler on speech to World War 2's former soldiers and when he has to running on Hitler's car and meeting a angry motorcycle's gang. Whoopi Goldberg and Rowan Atkinson are barely miscasting,lost in this mess, John Cleese has some goods jokes and Cuba driving a bus with a lot of Lucy's is a clever scene,too little to so many characters....Resume:First watch: 2004 / How many: 3 / Source: Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 6.25

LOL! That is the one term I can come up with that perfectly describes this flick. I haven't laughed this much while watching a comedy in a very long time. Most people will knock this movie because they say it's too over the top or the laughs don't last but I'm here to call "BULLCRAP" on that criticism.Classic direction, a brilliant script, and one of the best comedic ensemble cast ever assembled come together to create quite possibly one of the funniest movies ever made.Also be on the lookout for two of the greatest credit sequences ever put to film (you will be cracking up before the actual wild and crazy ride begins).

I found this to be one of the most falling out of your chair laughing movies in recent memory. The main thing I want to tell people is how close "Rat Race" is to a movie released 38 years earlier, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". I just re-watched IAMMMMW and I'm certain now that Zucker watched it too. I believe he said, "Let's make this movie again, with only 1/10 as many huge comedian stars, and with much funnier stunts and twists." And he succeeded at doing just that. The radar tower stunt, the aviation stunts, the people remotely watching and betting on the racers, and especially the "You should have bought the squirrel" scene are all directly traceable to scenes in IAMMMMW.
