Rat Race (2001)

We’re racing back to 2001 for Rat Race. Is this an underrated comedy classic, or do you need some serious nostalgia for this kind of dumb, over-the-top slapstick to still work? Does the movie’s decision to keep its foot on the gas for nearly two hours make it more entertaining, or eventually just exhausting? How the hell do these people commit so many felonies and never have the cops come looking for them? And did the Baja Men really think “Rat Race” was going to be their follow-up hit to “Who Let the Dogs Out”? Grab your locker key, stay the hell away from the squirrel lady, and remember: there are no rules. We tackle all of this and more!
