Storyline

In an ensemble film about easy money, greed, manipulation and bad driving, a Las Vegas casino tycoon entertains his wealthiest high rollers -- a group that will bet on anything -- by pitting six ordinary people against each other in a wild dash for $2 million jammed into a locker hundreds of miles away. The tycoon and his wealthy friends monitor each racer's every move to keep track of their favorites. The only rule in this race is that there are no rules.

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

Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
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
Richard Schickel
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
Desson Thomson
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.

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