Rat Race

What do an airhead dressed like a streetwalking Liberace, a goofy narcoleptic, two bumbling brothers, Lucille Ball's chauffeur, Hitler's doppelgänger and the future Attorney General have in common? Well, only Jerry Zucker, the zany director responsible for such comedic classics as Airplane, could provide the answer. They are all lucky contestants in a no-holds-barred race to reach the $2 million prize that a wealthy casino owner and his gambling-obsessed cohorts created. Laugh through the many unexpected roadblocks?a wacky squirrel saleswoman, a sadistic chopper pilot, some World War II veterans?in order to grab the checkered flag with this refreshing comedy. It actually relies not on overused toilet humor, but on off-the-wall situations that will keep you wondering what else Zucker will pull out of his hat.
