Rat Race is a quirky little comedy which I didn’t know about, or had forgotten about until I saw it advertised in the Blockbuster Magazine. I read about it and it seemed just my type of thing, especially since it’s basically a re-make of Cannonball Run released in 1981 starring Burt Reynolds.

An amazing cast line up that includes Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz and Seth Green guarantees that this is a hell of a star packed film. This ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ Do any of the rest of you have a few comedy movies in your DVD/Video collection that you keep on hand as a sure remedy for the ?blues?, and that will always manage to cheer you up and bring a smile back to your face no matter how bleak and dismal your mood?
