It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - 5 stars out of 10

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - 5 stars out of 10

"It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is composed of the comedy giants from this era and it is quite fitting that the film's reimagining (Rat Race) chose the comedy giants from the modern era.  Unfortunately, being from the modern era, I much prefer the fresher take on this classic story.  You never know who might appear next in this classic comedy.  The story drags on with it's 160 minute runtime and could have easily been edited down, but that would've taken away screentime from each of the stars and they are the focus of the film.  This film is worth a watch just to see all of these classic stars in one place, but as far as portrayal of the concept, I would recommend seeing "Rat Race" instead.
