Search - 3000 Miles: Gumball 3000 on DVD

Pretty cars, gorgeous locales, fun-loving skateboarders

"The Gumball 3000 is like a real-life Cannonball Run, but without the guaranteed laughs of a fat Dom DeLuise. Instead, the documentarians--who do their best to find some drama wherever they can to stretch this to feature length--are oftentimes left with nothing but "Viva La Bam" stars Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera complaining about how long they've been driving, how annoying the crowds are, or getting lost. A racing SUV packing skating legend Tony Hawk, skating pro Mike Vallely, and BMX pro Mike Escamilla is the less whiny, down-to-earth team the filmmakers follow. This trio wind up hunting for Dunn and Margera when that head-up-their-butts duo gets lost or breaks down in Bam's abused purple Lamborghini.



That trio also gives the filmmakers a chance to show off the X Games-worthy skateboarding and BMX-ing skills that these amateur globe-trotting racers bring--in Europe, in Vegas, in Salt Lake City.



Those who aren't already into "Viva La Bam," "Jackass," and skateboarding can skip this. But those who wind up watching this over-long film will be rewarded with a top-notch 1960s-style score by Roxbury, split-screen camera tricks straight out of a Bond film, and looks at 120 of the most beautiful cars ever to race through Europe, Thailand, and America."

Boring and annoying

"This movie was not at all what I expected. Its pretty much Bam complaining throughout the whole movie. I dont get how he can complain about being recognized when he is in the Lambo that has been in every single one of his shows and known by all his fans. Maybe next time he will drive something that no one knows is his. He complains about getting lost, not being able to get through the crowds (in the purple lambo), and he constantly complains about his car getting wrecked when it was being shipped. Just a whine fest and totally not worth a dime. Also it has some nice skating scenes, but mostly boring montages, and sucky music. BOO!"
