I really enjoyed this movie. I laughed from start to finish.

The point that I was surprised is that nevertheless each person has different background, they did crazy things for money if it’s illegal. Characters were also good. There are some actors and actress that I know. For example, Rowan Atkinson and Whoopi Goldberg. I expected that nobody gets $2 million, but I did not expect that the all money were used for donation and Donald’s money was also used for it.

I want to watch this movie again! Thank you!

Teacher's note: Thanks for being first to post. I'm glad you liked "Rat Race." Sometimes it's the most fun to watch a good comedy, and I think this is one of the best. Not too many like it.

This movie made us laugh the whole the time. Everyone was crazy.

The scene I remember now is the helicopter attacking scene. The woman pilot first seemed to be elegant, however, once she saw her boyfriend being with his ex-girlfriend, she became mad and attacked her boyfriend with helicopter. It was really funny chasing.

Also I like the scene every member running to the locker. They were running desperately while pushing others away. It showed me all people change when it relates to money$$$ And the ending was surprising. I've never expected such a happy ending

Laughed a lot! Thank you!

Teacher's note: Yup, the famous helicopter scene where Amy Smart's character breaks 100 FAA rules takes the cake. I think one of the elements that makes "Rat Race" so funny is the screenplay. It is so solid. Who could guess the perfect ending complete with Smash Mouth. Thanks for posting.

After our Tuesday movie class, i hoped the time could goes faster so that i can see the rest of this movie. It is the most funniest movie i have seen. While i was watching it, i laughed whole time. The funny moment in this movie everywhere. The black woman and her mother stole the rockets car and drove it to catch the other people. However, because the speed was super fast and people cant stand on that situation, it made them feel dizzy. the fun part is where they stopped is the place where the bus which took mental patients stopped, and their behavior just like others did so that the caregiver take them in the bus.

My favorite character is the father who took their family to Las Vegas. Because he wanted to win the match, he did many ridiculous things by coincidence. They stopped the Bobby [Barbie] Museum, but that Bobby is one of the Nazi leader. That was scared them. He was hurt by the cigar lighter, that made him point middle finger to the left side which a biker just right there, and also made a slip of the tongue so that made the biker angry. He was a unlucky guy,his behavior alway made others misunderstand.

In this movie,each person has distinctive personal character, but all of them want to win the money.May be the director want to tell us the greed is one part of human's character, but also some good things also exist in the human's body,such as love. That is why they donate the money by their will when they saw some kids need help.

What decisions people made make who they are.

Teacher's note: This author points out some of the funnier scenes of many. I too couldn't stop laughing during Rat Race. Thanks for posting.

Enrico Pollini was my favorite character. He made me laugh so much especially when he found the heart and throw it back [at the dog] again and that was my favorite funny moment in this comic movie. On the other hand, Rat Race shows that each person has greedy habit and i think it always depends about this person and the way does he follow. In my opinion, the producers should make Rat Race#2 because this movie sends a wonderful message with a sense of humor with great actors.

Teacher's note: I like the idea of "Rat Race 2". I just wonder what could be added to what has already been said? The greed message is pretty clear. I think the "Hangover" franchise had the problem of repeating itself in a different setting without adding much new. I guess it's a good way to make money, but with both films, the original is a classic. Hard to top it. Any suggestions for "RR2"? Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed this movie even though I only watched a half of movie[.] Every character has a good skill to make us laugh and story also is good. That's why I enjoyed[.]

For me, the best scene is the last one especially a guy who is hesitate to donate money. Actually I can feel what he think[s] because as human everyone has greed about money and I agree with that and his face and impression are good at express the feeling and situation. And finally he donates his money and everyone has a beautiful smile, so I get "MOM's" big smile too.

Teacher's note: First, I'd like to remind this author to edit for GPS before posting. Aside from that, an interesting post. The ending of "Rat Race" is crucial in that it perfectly answers the question of "who gets the dough." Thanks for posting, bro.

Although I watch this movie from halfway through, I could enjoy very much. Especially, each character has peculiar characteristic. Everyone tried to reach the goal to get the money even though many obstacles happened on the way of Culver city! One thing I realized after watching the movie is that people can change the purpose after the goal. In this story, every six lucky people finally got the money at the stage of the concert. However, they donated all the money for the hung[ry] children. In addition, every [one of the] 6 people did that. The movie taught that we can stop competing if there are poor children in front of us. We can cooperate with each other about it. I was very impressed with this idea.

Teacher's note: Yes, the good of society is more important than the individual good. This is an age-old argument which has had a profound impact on the development of civilization. Who knew such a silly movie as "Rat Race" would have such a meaningful ending.

It was the funniest movie I have ever watched in my life. I watched this movie fascinating, despite the fact that I do not like gambling. This movie was filmed in the light of humor where was about eccentric a Las Vegas casino owner, Donald Sinclair. He believed a bunch of high-roller gamblers would bet big to find out. He put two million in a locker in New Mexico 500 miles away. Six lucky people are given the key to the locker. They didn't know that the high rollers are betting on them.

There were a lot of funny scenes. It's difficult to find the most funny scene. Despite this fact I'll try to do it. I like scenes with brothers, with Enrico Pollini. I guessed that squirrel saleswoman showed them the wrong direction. And so it happened. Merrill and Vera crash their car thanks to malicious road directions given by a crazed squirrel saleswoman.

As it might seem at first glance, this film about people who love money. Not at all. The final scene show us this. All are persuaded to give the money to charity. It a touching moment. Especially the scene between two brothers. When one of them didn't want to give money, another retarded brother said: "Mom looks at us from above".

Teacher's note: The funniest movie ever?? That's amazing. Come to think of it, I can't think of a purely funnier movie, either. This is a great post. It takes us from the "funny" to the "profound" in the ending. Well done, author!

The favorite funny moment was when Owen Templeton was running on hot sand and felt it too hot. Wooooh. And my favorite character was Owen Templeton because he was funny and stupid in the same time I laughed once I was seeing him in the movie. And I agree with rat race about human greed which was talking about great people desire to win and take the money. The movie was fun and I like it . thank you so much Mike.

Teacher's note: Here is a great example of an extremely concise post. It doesn't waste words. Poor Owen. Even the Lucys hate him in the end, until the final end, when he gets to share in the love.

In the beginning I really enjoyed this movie

I liked the most is the moment when the heart fell out of the car and was followed by Pliny and found him with a dog and then he dropped it again to find the dog had died between the electrified wire[.]

Difficult to choose the character of the characters because they are all funny, but personal vera being a human being in all its gentle, but when she arrived to Silver City she was angry to stop the bus[.]

In terms of greed, I said OK because human loves money so that may make him do everything possible to expand it even crush others

This beautiful film was funny though a high degree but it does not devoid of non-messages directly from the human and social aspects ..

Teacher's note: Another post that covers the cool points pretty well. Let's be mindful of GPS before posting. There is some strong vocabulary in play here. Bravo! thanks for posting.
