Review of Rat Race

Rat Race (2001)
8/10
Nice Throwback, but...
19 August 2001
If Rat Race were made by more cyncial people, it may have been a better movie. It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World workerd because it showed what people would do for money.

Rat Race tries, but fails, to show what depths people will sink to. There's some amusing stuff with Jon Lovitz's character in that vain, but the other characters derive humor from being put into funny situations solely because they are trying to get to Silver City.

The ending was very weak, and definitely needed a rewrite. It's too schmaltzy, too mushy, and again reveals the lack of cynicism in human nature that this movie needed.

Seth Green and Vince Vileuf are enjoyable, as is Amy Smart.
