If you're looking for a light-hearted comedy then I HIGHLY recommend watching 'Rat Race' (2001)

I'm now looking for more movies like this gem. Have been struggling with depression lately so just been on a massive comedy binge lately. Watched Rat Race a few nights ago after stumbling upon it while looking at Breckin Meyer's IMDB profile (the actor from Road Trip). Didn't expect much but wow what a movie! Some of the jokes didn't age well (mainly just dumb slapstick humour) but it was mainly a very funny movie with some great performances. Rowan Atkinson stole all of his scenes, as well as Jon Lovitz with some hilarious one-liners here and there. Lots of actors that you've definitely seen in other movies or TV shows: i.e. Whoopie Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr, Seth Green, John Cleese, Amy Smart and Breckin Meyer...great cast all-around. I really miss comedies like this one, we rarely see anything like it nowadays. Just an enjoyable, silly and genuinely funny family movie that anyone can sit down and enjoy without having to think too much.

For anyone that's watched this before, are there any other movies in the same vein that you would recommend?
