Review of Gumball Rally May 5, 2009 Jeffrey J. Isbell (Chula Vista, CA) This is a great, funny movie. It is the first of many comedy cross country road movies. The cars, especially the AC Cobra and the Ferrari Daytona Spyder are the true stars of the film. If you like car flicks I highly recommend this.
Don't let the "The Gumball Rally" poster fool you!!! January 30, 2009 Alice (Danielsville, Georgia) Frankly, I was expecting "The Gumball Rally" to be like its poster. Gayfree and funny story. It shows Brannon as lovable goofball, juggling the gumballs in the air, Alice (Susan Flanney plays her, I bet it was shock to see she was portrayed as Marilyn Monroe in the poster) in orange car behind Franco's pink car, as Marilyn Monroe-like sitting on the car door, wearing a low cut green dress and putting on her makeup. And then in Roll Royce car, a Daddy's spoiled rich woman humorously strangling a man on the motorcycle to get a leg up the competition at any cost. Sadly, the film has no humor as the poster promises. Brannon is cold filthy rich who has no feelings for anyone. His pal, Smith is too cold to root for, too. As for the women, they have few scenes. Susan and Joanne barely put their emotions in it. So I can't root for them. It seems that Susan doesn't have a driver license. They had a questionable scene. The boys chase them. One of says "Don't do something that will get us arrested like you did last year". Susan says "If you can catch us, you can have us" which Alice glares at her pal, "That was dumb!" because she didn't want to have anything with the boys. Their car breaks down. The next day, Alice is so upset about having a forced sex with the boys. Then they encounter two cops checking them out. They are distraugh. I can't laugh at rape story. It is questionable act on director to think it is funny????? There is no spoiled rich woman in the movie. It is Angie and her boyfriend in Roll Royce. Jose kidnaps his girlfriend, Angie. They meet a motorcycle gang who liked her bikini top too much which Angie didn't have the time to change her clothes. Jose runs over one of the motorcyles, enraging them. Joe screams they are going to kill me and rape you. Angie screams they are going to kill me and rape you. Again, it is nothing funny about murder and rape. The fake cops are in it. The writer used an old joke, borrowed from "Candid Camera", "Smile you are on candid camera and you are going to be a big movie star" punch line. The fake cops pull on the real cop and I see the punch line coming up before it starts. I heard a million jokes about it so much on TV and movies. And finally, Kapchick has probably humorous scenes in it even though not of one of them made me laugh. Seen them before. He looks insane, hapless, and accident prone, crashing into stuff. He didn't say one word until the famous scene. He utters a foul word. There were foul words, "S", "A", "J" and obscene gestures. There is no topless women in it. One woman scrubbed her [...] on the window and one woman mooning out the car window,inserts her fingers between her legs. Because imdb is family friendly, her act goes unmentionable. The only way to make this movie and every movies funny to have wacky lovable characters, not cars. We can't laugh at cars or rape story. Overall, I am greatly disappointed!!! I really thought it would be out-The Gumball Rally loud laugh funny like the poster promises.
Great Movie for Gearheads January 11, 2009 CP (Connecticut USA) I'm not a wannabe movie critic, just a guy who grew up enjoying cars like the ones featured in this film. I'll leave the drama critiques to the others, if you're a gearhead here's the important stuff: This film captures cars that are now rare classics, back when they were nothing more than late model used cars (though desireable ones). Without any of the amateur special effects of the era, or the modern computer generated "action sequences", it shows in real time and at real speeds what these great cars were capable of. The stunt drivers rode these cars hard and put'em away wet.... Details: -Shelby American AC427 Cobra, most likely a '67. Running flat-out against a Daytona in the Los Angeles River Basin. -A gorgeous Ferrari 365 GT "Daytona". Ferrari guys were putting these cars on blocks even back then, so to see one run like this one is super rare. (Miami Vice's Daytona was actually a fiberglass body kit fitted on a Corvette chassis) -A built to the hill gen 2 Camaro driven by Gary Busey. Peeing in a beer bottle at 80mph on a winding road, "must see" stuff. -A Jag XKE, some funny cracks about British cars. -A big block gen 3 "bumper car" Vette convertible. -A 300 Series Mercedes, driven by two old WASPS from Fairfield County Connecticut. -A 911 Porsche with 2 hot seat covers. -A Kawasaki Mach 3, remember this hot bike? (900cc Triple TWO STROKE) -A gen 2 Chevy Van, modified for nonstop travel. -An early 70's Mopar fake Police Cruiser -A Rolls Sedan and a T-Bucket Ford don't really race but are neat cars in the movie. Enjoy!
