A cooky Las Vegas millionaire organises a crazy race between strangers in order to bet on the winner.

It's impossible to describe this movie without using the adjective ' zany'. Rat Race is a relatively clean, lighthearted comedy with larger than life characters , that does not go for needless shock value.  This is an emsemble movie with a cast filled with stars like Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg and Cuba Gooding Jr. The over the top situations, the physical comedy, the jovial tone and the "feelgood" ending remind us of movies from the 80s and 90s like Ferris Bueller or even 'The wedding singer'. With a surprising runtime of almost two hours, this movie feels like a breeze due to its fast pace and timing.  A very entertaining, zany movie.
