In a train station locker in the small town of Silver City, New Mexico, there is $2,000,000 waiting for whomever gets to it first. Those who win the tokens are invited to attend a meeting, at which time Sinclair announces that they are to be the lucky participants in a `race' of sorts. And the big one he comes up with this time begins with the planting of six lucky tokens in his slot machines. Las Vegas casino owner Donald Sinclair (John Cleese), likes to offer his elite customers- the `high rollers'- something they can't get anywhere else, in the form of things they can gamble on that are so bizarre you can only imagine. In the tradition of Stanley Kramer's 1963 BIG comedy hit, `It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,' this one is exactly what it is supposed to be- Fun (yes, with a capital `F'), and Funny- with one laugh after another that just keep on a-comin'. But I'm here to tell you, that is decidedly NOT the case with `Rat Race,' directed by Jerry Zucker, and furthermore, make a mental note: This movie is hilarious, and one you DO NOT want to miss. More often than not, however, the funniest stuff is in the previews, and when you see the whole movie it's a let-down. If you've seen the trailer for this movie, you're probably thinking it looks hilarious and you've made a mental note that it's one you don't want to miss.
