What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Sierra Filucci

BAM'S UNHOLY UNION chronicles the three-month-long wedding-planning process of pro skater/MTV star Bam Margera and his bride-to-be, Missy. With such a short amount of time to plan their nuptials, the couple has to rush around booking venues, choosing attire, and easing family members' fears that the whole thing will end up being a disaster -- or that a death metal band will be the featured entertainment. The drama is kept moving by tension between Missy's family and Margera, as well as between the loving couple as time pressures mount.

Is It Any Good?

As anyone familiar with Margera's antics in the Jackass franchise (as well as Viva la Bam) might imagine, the show features wild stunts, crude language, and strange characters. The series' appeal -- aside from providing the opportunity to witness Margera doing stupid things -- is the way it juxtaposes the supposed anti-establishment rule breaker with the traditional, rather conservative notion of a big wedding.

Viewers who happen to find Margera's personality -- or his propensity to wake up his friends by bashing them with a table lamp -- charming will enjoy the show. But without the car-wreck dysfunction of a couple like My Fair Brady's Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry, Bam's Unholy Union feels a little been-there, done-that.
