Critic Reviews

The funniest film to come along since "South Park," and one that succeeds in a more difficult and satisfying way.

Inspired, elaborately plotted, and unusually satisfying variable-speed chase comedy.

The movie is over in a breezy 112 minutes, but it may be another half-hour before your sides quit aching.

The easygoing silliness with which this late-summer movie surprise scuttles from mayhem to mayhem and the verve with which the cast throws itself into the fray are so cheering and liberating.

It's a fine madness, full of jaunty desperation, survivable disasters and the kind of ferocious concentration on a really stupid idea that once propelled Wile E. Coyote.

Even though this will not go down as a great Zucker comedy, he has made Rat Race funnier than it could reasonably hope to be.

An outrageously silly movie that makes me laugh.

Rat Race isn't a stupid movie -- it's an aggressively stupid movie that journeys into realms of absurdity that are, well, aggressively funny.

The movie is so cheerfully, furiously relentless, its contagious silliness wears you down.

The good news is that this off-the-wall ensemble comedy may just be the summer's happiest surprise.
