Hi! I'm Jenny.
I want to write about the most funny moment in this movie.
Personally, I like the character Nick. I like the right image of Nick who does not like gambling. However, Nick did gambling and entered the race, he met a woman named Tracy who ended up falling in love with Nick at the end of the movie.

I like the scene that Tracy found her ex-boyfriend who was enjoying swimming with his girlfriend while Tracy and Nick were riding a helicopter. I thought Tracy was a very gentle and quiet woman, but when I saw this scene, I found Tracy's other charm. I was so funny to see Tracy destroyed her ex-boyfriend car and followed him with a helicopter. At the end of the movie, Nick and Tracy will end up in love with each other, but in this scene, Nick and Tracy are not yet lovers, so I feel even more funny.

I watched a war movie before watching this movie. It was good because I could see it with a light smile. And I think the funny image of Enrico has become a factor that makes this movie more interesting. All the characters in the movie were so interesting and funny because they had different characters.

I found the movie "Rat Race" really amusing just because how funny the plot is. I loved how the characters who were in the race all have different stories and all of them come from different backgrounds which made the movie really interesting for its watchers. Also throughout the whole movie, every character is dealing with his/her own problems to get to the finish line. The ending of the movie is completely different then what people would think will happen so I highly recommend this movie to other people.

The movie is about a race of lucky winners who get a special coin at a Las Vegas casino slot machine. People often make a bet. The reason may be the thrill of a moment's victory. This movie is about making people's instincts laugh. The merit of this movie is various casting. Actors such as Rowan Atkinson who is famous for Mr. Bean, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cuba Gooding Jr, run through the desert.

It's a movie that shows how strong the desires of gamblers are, and how much people's desire for money. The main character of the movie seems to be the whole six teams. Rowan Atkinson, who speaks English as a crooked Italian accent with a distinctive look, and Whoopi Goldberg, who gives a laugh, and Cuba Gooding Jr., who is the target of all because of the miscarriage of justice in a football match, The Hollywood Actors give a laugh in a movie.

People who have had different lives get the opportunity of a lifetime after accidentally picking up a golden coin in a slot machine in Las Vegas. After giving the same keys to all those who brought the same coin on behalf of the casino owner, he told them he had put $ 2 million in a locker in the train station in New Mexico City. Opportunity is in everyone, but only one person can have money. Thus, the six teams are involved in various ways to get money to Silver Lake train station after trial and error, such as a broken car, stolen car, air balloon, helicopter, bus, horse, walk in the desert, fall into the water and so on. At the end of their twists and turns, they had $ 2 million, but in the end, they made an impressive donation to the end.

However, the repertoire of actors is repeated, and the movie becomes increasingly boring. The director thought of the reversal and made a movie but gives a very ordinary reversal. The end is a feeling of loosening, but it is a movie that people can usually laugh and enjoy. Actually, I do not seem to have had anything particularly funny or interesting part. So I would like to give 3 out of 5 personal ratings.

Hi, I’m Yoojin and I’m happy to see a very interesting movie this week. In Rat Race, my favorite character is Duane and Blaine. All the characters in the movie are very attractive, but Duane and Blaine felt most attractive to me. Especially, I love the scene that Blaine shows his piercings to the woman next to him and then went to wrong way. It was really stupid, but it gave me a big smile. Also at the end of the movie, it was fun to see them donate money to show the woman who was in the car.

Their race begins with a rich man crazy about gambling. He suggests to people that the first person who arrive at a station in New Mexico can have $2million. They do everything to get to New Mexico, interrupting each other. At the end of the movie they arrive at the station almost simultaneously, but one man runs away with the money and everyone follows him. Finally, they arrive at a concert hall and there is a tremendous reversal there.

This movie was very funny, but it was a little sad to see a human running without rationality for money. And I also felt a little sad that rich man gamble on ordinary people like racehorses.

This was the first time to watch “Rat Race”. I really prefer this movie because it was so funny and good story. And also there was Rowan Atkinson which is one of my favorite actors so I assumed that it must have been very funny as expected.

My favorite moment was the accident which was led by a Squirrel Woman because I could not expect the accident. She seemed like so kind because even though Merrill and Vera did not buy any squirrel, he taught them a shortcut to Silver City, New Mexico. However, actually she was so horrible because the shortcut was a trap and there were signs which were written “You should have bought squirrels.”

My favorite character was Enrico because he is one of my favorite actors. There are some movies which are acted by him such as “Mr.Bean” and “Johnny English”. He is so funny. As I expected, in this movie, he was so funny so, I like Enrico.

This movie used humor to show the lust of human lightly. If the movie shows it without humor, this movie would be so scandal. To use humor in this movie, it would be more comfortable to watch.

This movie was so good especially, the last scene. I was moved. So whwn I go back to Japan, I am going to watch this movie again.

Rat race a movie who took ac action in Las Vegas to describe the people who have gambling addiction. However, there was eight random people who chose to join a race to win 2 Million dollars, those people did not believe at the beginning when they thought it was a joke due to 2 million is a huge amount of money. Also, they did not know that they were monitored by wealthy people who have an addiction on gambling.

Moreover, this movie describe how is the lust for money is a horrible thing, people fought each other, and others destroyed a public amenity for money because they want to keep the money for them self. I am not saying that if I was in their places I would do the same, I am just saying that it is wrong to do harm things for other people for material thing such as money.

Nevertheless, my favorite character is Enrique because I like the way he starts the rice and finished, he was honest from the beginning and the way he talks and run, also his accent is funny, and he did not hurt other people for this race. The funniest moment for Enrique it was when he gave the kid the box key then he realizes that after a while, and he started to look after his keys while the parents were watching him do it. They called the police to kick him out.

Story started all because the rich people’s boring starts. When the gambling money can no longer satisfy them, the gamblers’ intentions jump out. They are behind the scenes, manipulating the people who are running for money, pulling the puppet’s thin line at the last moment. However, at the end, riches have lost to the heart, the countless compassionate love in the world.

The ending must be happy, but the journey of the various people is too noisy, especially the performance of the little Cooper Gudin exaggerated too much, many times on the screen to see his teeth and claws feel a little boring and exhausted. And Mr. Bean still maintains the performance mode of Mr. Bean, but there are not many plays. The film is very hard in the soundtrack part, and the funny picture is accompanied by classical music, which is very happy.

My personally think that the most hilarious place is the hot air balloon entangled part of the cow. And the ending really have educational meaning.

Describe your favorite funny moment and why it was funny.
I liked Enrico who played Rowan Atkinson because everybody knows he is obviously funny. It looks like he gets win but suddenly he starts to sleep. It’s unexpectable.

Who is your favorite character and why?
Enrico. He made us be fun to use his whole body such as face, voice, his hands, and his moving. There was nothing funnier than him.

How does RAT RACE use humor to illustrate: Lust for money? Gambling addiction? Doing the right thing? Do you agree?
Some maids hanged on curtain fook and people who had money bet which one was the longest to hang on it. The movie showed way too much about gambling but for the gambler might look like them.

Write a setup/opinion of RAT RACE.
I like that movie put many different characters. Some of them have their own relationship with family.

Rat race one of my favorite movies at class because it’s funny and comedy. My favorite character was Owen Templetoand and Blaine l was lugging out loud when I was watching the movie every time he talks with his tongue piercing .
And the ending wasn’t expected at all totally different than what I thought.
