Susan Wloszczyna USA Today (Top Critic)

Race, which delights in bashing all manner of transportation, hits its silly stride early and never shifts into a higher gear.

Fitfully amusing farce.

Michael Atkinson Village Voice (Top Critic)

A few decent running gags ... and an ocean of bad ones.

Peter Howell Toronto Star (Top Critic)

It's a mad mad mad mad world, all right, and Rat Race makes it seem all the zanier.

Ruthlessly dumb people--but funny, too.

Manic, messy, and for the most part silly, this road comedy marks Zucker's bumpy return to the genre after a number of equally bumpy dramas such as First Knight.

... the only real surprise is how genuinely dreadful a movie that aims only for pleasant, profitable mediocrity can be.

Some great moments, but with the talent on offer, this film should have broken ribs.

It goes on, and on, and on for 113 minutes, which is way past any reasonable person's limit for this sort of thing.

It made me laugh, and that's my definition of funny.

Zucker instinctively knows how far to push the crude and uncouth, and when to retreat into the merely goofy.

Unfortunately this flick will sell tickets, and more crap like this will be made in the future.

Uma producao de extremos: quando falha, chega a ser embaracosamente ruim - mas quando funciona, provoca fortes gargalhadas.

...this film earns its laughs. Sure, there are some jokes that involve bodily functions, but at no point does anyone get a penis stabbed into the side of their head.

it's a sad day when a man capable of such perfectly insane comic timing cannot properly pace a simple It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World rehash.

...an old-fashioned, non-offensive physical comedy that huffs and puffs and ultimately blows itself down.

You have to wonder about the mentality of anyone who would want to use the "Cannonball Run" pictures as inspiration.
