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

|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.

Time -
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.

Washington Post -
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.

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