A very pleasant surprise. Some of the gags are lethal, in particular the Barbie museum and buy a squirrel. Rowan Atkinson is surprisingly bland, but given how much humour the film offers, it doesn't matter. I had a lot of fun, even though I don’t like comedies much. (21.07.2002)

After a long time, a comedy that really made me laugh out loud. The "Barbie museum" and "veterans reunion" jokes are brilliant. I'm sure there are a few things the film could be faulted for, but the fun makes up for any potential shortcomings. (05.01.2003)

An average plot, a repertoire of jokes (perhaps just the heart and Hitler's car are worth mentioning), but still quite watchable, at least thanks to all the actors, who do a routine but good job. Only John Cleese disappointed me, because taking such a bland role is completely unnecessary for such a distinctive appearance. I'm sure you'll find tons of better comedies - but on the other hand, there are tons of worse ones. Rat Race is a nice thing to watch when you have some spare time. (13.04.2004)

A very crazy and quite effective comedy that only leads to a terrible conclusion. Jerry Zucker has humour in his blood, and here he’s helped in fulfilling his fantasy by a great cast whose stellar brilliance is unprecedented for a film of this type. Most of the attention is, of course, drawn to Atkinson, who performs another insane variation on Mr Bean, but the rest are also worth mentioning, led by the exuberant Whoopi Goldberg and the irresistible Lovitz, whose foray into a gathering of war veterans had me laughing hysterically. Yet, though the entertainment was very varied, the film flew by quite quickly, and some scenes will stay in my memory for a long time, the messed up ending just doesn't deserve more than an average rating from me.
