Rat Race (DVD) Reviews

Rat Race may not be a comedy classic, but it's got a great premise, and a ridiculously high profile cast, consisting of Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Lovitz, Lanei Chapman, Seth Green, Kathy Najimy, Vince Vieluf, John Cleese, Breckin Meyer, Kathy Bates, Wayne Knight and Amy Smart. The premise involves six people racing ...  Read the complete review

Rat Race is an American Comedy released in the cinemas in 2001, then onto dvd in November 2002 and is directed by Jerry Zucker. It is certified as a 12 (though after watching the film i would say it is appropriate as a PG as it contains very little language and violence) and the film lasts approximately 107 minutes. ...  Read the complete review

Although I was slightly disappointed with this film the first time around I decided to give it a second go and it was actually a bit funnier second time around, it is still by no means a comedy classic and it does have its faults but I laughed a few times and familiarity meant I appreciated the comedy more accepting that the plot is paper thin and ...  Read the complete review

Initially, I was put off watching this, thanks to the somewhat Z-list cast list and a non-imaginitive, ubuiqutous storyline. However, I stood to be corrected. For me, what followed, was an under-rated classic, right up there with The Great Race and Its A Mad, Mad, Mad World - movies of a similar vein. John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson are ...  Read the complete review

Based on the quality of the cast Rat Race should be an excellent comedy as it boasts a great range of stars however it falls down because there are almost too many good names and none of them get enough screen time to really shine. John Cleese is a rather slimy and eccentric casino owner in Las Vegas who rigs his slot machines to ...  Read the complete review

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. Cannonball Run didn’t have great ...  Read the complete review
