What an amazing movie! Set in vegas, with coins distributed to certain people who will become Rats themselves in search of the big cheese. Two million dollars waits in a locker at a train station in Silver City, New Mexico, and each of the coin winners has a key to that locker; but getting there will be an epic and funny battle in which other people are betting. Watching and tracking them like Rats is hotel/casino owner and his wealthy friends who will bet on almost anything imaginable, including which maid could hold on to the curtain bar the longest; what a hoot! The role of each character is perfect, as if they were born to be in this movie. Watching this in theatres for my birthday was one of the only films I remember seeing in my adolescent youth, and cracking up to throughout. Even the character introductions in the very beggining of the film was funny. Watching it about a month ago and laughing even harder, along with a room full of people inspired me to write this review; i actually cant wait to see it again in the future.. it might make me laugh harder, if possible.
Vicki: So, what can I do for you, Harry?
Harold Grisham: Okay... here's what I want. First... we both get naked.
Vicki: So far so good.
Harold Grisham: Except... we're both wearing sailor hats. Then we get into a jacuzzi filled with Pepto-Bismol, I clip your toenails, and you shave my buttocks.
Vicki: What's that?
Harold Grisham: Naked... jacuzzi... Pepto-Bismol... toenails... shave my buttocks.
Vicki: Well, you have quite an imagination, Harry.
