Review of Rat Race (2001) by Bryce B — 04 Mar 2012
I think because Jerry Zucker's other films Airpane and The Naked Gun didn't really have any genuinely good actors and just got straight to the gags "formula" was the reason people were dissapointed with Rat Race.
It didn't stick to it and instead used real actors. I however see this as an advantage. Because they were funny. The whole movie is similar to Airplane! because it seems to be like a series of sketches.
Most of them being very, very funny. Even though there was one or two jokes I didnt laugh at, the performances of the great ensemble cast made me grin. Rat Race is ambitious to make you laugh without resorting to mean humour like The Naked Gun or Airplane.
It suceeds in doing this, as it's in my opinion: possibly one of the best sight comedy films of all time.
