Review of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) by Agustin M — 10 Jul 2010
Wow! I heard of this movie before and it was until now I've watch it, and I've been missing out of one of the most hilarious movies ever made.
After a criminal crashes in a South Californian dessert, he tells a few motorist, that stopped to help him out of the crash, that he buried $350,000 dollars in cash in the fictitious Santa Rosita State Park under a big "W." The criminal then dies and before any of the motorist decide to work together and split the money, they're soon on a race to see who can get their first. Sounds familiar? Well the movie "Rat Race" was a remake to this movie, while it had its moments, this movie is far superior.
Although the story is very simple, it's the characters situations that makes the movie a fun wild ride. The movie itself is way too long for a comedy, it's over three hours, but the comedy and the character interactions are so great that the three hours will fly by.
It's hard to tell which character stand out from the cast since every one has great moments that shine. They're so many actors within this movie that it's hard to mention them all here; and don't get me started on the numerous of cameos within this movie, they're so many that practically each scene has at least one.
This movie is highly recommended to anyone who loves a good laugh. Trust me, it's the most enjoyable three hours you'll ever see.
