Summary: Dude! BASEketball is a sweet movie!!
Review: "BASEketball" is falling down funny!! I seriously laughed my a** off!!! I LOVED it!! it just shows that Matt & Trey can do other stuff besides South Park,they didn't nelgeted the show it's like Hollywood thinks all Trey & Matt does is South Park. I'm a fan of South Park but I love Trey & Matt and their work. And F*ck the MPAA(They rated Orgazmo NC-17 and trying to rate the South Park movie NC-17)and the crtics they wouldn't know comedy if it bit them on the a**!! I like the idea that BASEketball pokes fun at greed in the sports world,and the hillarous scene with Robert Stack in Unsolved Mysteries. I loved the phyche outs done by Coop & Remer and I first discovered Dian Bachar in this movie,he is so cool I liked him in Cannibal!:The Musical and check him out as Choda-Boy in Orgazmo, Trey & Dian kicks a** doing martial arts. BASEketball is an unsual game created by David Zucker and amazinly this game is actaully being played on driveways and this movie deserves an audience it's NOT for people that gets easily offended or takes things so seriously. If you're a fan of David Zucker,Matt & Trey or South Park this is the movie for you.

Summary: Quirky, Hilarious Comedy from South Park Creators
Review: "Baseketball" had me laughing the whole time, even if not a truly rememberable plot. The "Unsolved Mysteries" scene is probably the funniest single cut I've ever witnessed in a comedy.

Summary: Awesome
Review: "Baseketball" is the best movie ever made. Period. In my wildest fantasies, I aspire to become Squeak "L'il Bitch" Scolari -- he's like a god to me. See this movie. Own this movie. Be Squeak.

Summary: Imagine 'Police Academy' as a sports movie. Actually, don't.
Review: 'BASEketball mocks the platitudes of the lachrymose, 'inspirational' TV-movie-style sports film - suburban losers become champions; defeat the evils of big business; help sick children; get the girl(s) - with lengthy, relentless and unfunny attempts at 'low' humour, usually centring on the comedy of the body (fluids, size, vulnerability, decay etc.). The 'joke', of course, is that sport, which (ideally, anyway) depends on a ruthless perfection of physical control, has been reconfigured for aging, indolent geeks who eat, drink and onanise too much, skimping on any exercise. The problem is that there aren't any jokes. Bad feel-good movies, sports corruption and the corporate devouring of 'alternative' activities are the easiest of straw targets, but even these are missed by the scriptwriters and performers, who must therefore be even more inept than their doltish heroes. The 'stoopid' humour is neither crass nor peurile nor actually FUNNY enough, the kind of lame cracks you might offer dazed friends after the drinks have run out. As a commentary on Parker and Stone's own commerical selling-out (mentioned here, as if THAT will excuse it), from purveyors of 'South Park''s savage scatology to...this, the film rings only too true.

Summary: Not to compare it to Schindler's List...
Review: ...but this is a very funny movie. I'm a firm beleiver that a superlative action movie or gross-out comedy is worthy of accolades as much as a superlative drama, and that's why I give BASEketball 5 Stars.

This is not art, be warned. This is not even intelligent humor like some of Christopher Guest's work: this is lowbrow, gross-out, 4-letter word humor. However, this is not Freddy Got Fingered, there is humor here and a lot of it. Celebrity cameos abound, from Bob Costas to Reggie Jackson, although Robert Stack may have the funniest. South Park creators show surprising acting ability and comic timing, although I think their show is brillaitn, so it's not too much of a stretch to preform in a movie like this.

(...) perhaps you should watch the film again and appreciate it for what it is: almost always funny and often hilarious. My 50 year old father was in tears in some sequences, and he's an elitist snob (though I love him.) 9/10

Summary: Dude.
Review: 1998 was a good year for comedies, with two of my all-time favorites: The Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski, and the Trey Parker/Matt Stone/Zucker brothers BASEketball. I know these movies couldn't be much more different, but they're both funny for their own reasons.

BASEketball has earned its place over the last 6 years as one of the most quotable flicks in my life. All the sports movies cliches are intact, from the slow motion ending to the "we have to win or we lose the team" plot, to less obvious things like the fact that there are about 8 guys sitting on the Beers bench, but only three of them ever actually play. Plus, it's loaded with cameos from some famous athletes like Reggie Jackson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and a bunch of sportscasters. Yasmine Bleeth and Jenny McCarthy provide the eye candy, while Robert Vaughn fills the role of evil villain, and Ernest Borgnine is the aloof owner of the Beers.

BASEketball starts out as a sport that even under-achievers like Joe "Coop" Cooper (Parker), Doug Remer (Stone), and Squeak Scolari (Dian Bachar) can play. It soon blossoms into a nation-wide phenomenon. And hilarity ensues. Unfortunately, most of the funniest moments can't be recreated here on Amazon, but that's actually probably a good thing. If you like any of the work by the guys involved with this movie (Airplane!, Kentucky Fried Movie, Orgazmo, South Park, etc), you'll definitely enjoy BASEketball. And with Dodgeball doing well in the theater, you owe it to yourself to check out this one.

Summary: Well Done!
Review: A suprisingly good film. I'm not a great fan of South Park, but watching the creators is very funny. It's what you could call 'stupid' funny, where the things they do are so stupid, it's funny.

The movie was directed quite well and the actors suited their roles and we're very funny. I think it's worth seeing though, if your in the mood to laugh, you can watch it many times.

Summary: PURE COMEDY
Review: ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO MATT STONE AND TREY PARKER AIRED A T.V. SHOW CALLED SOUTH PARK. THIS SHOW HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH SEVERAL TYPES OF PEOPLE INCLUDING ME. TRUE IT IS IMMATURE, AND DISCRIMINANT IN SOME WAYS, BUT ALL THE SAME IT RETAINS THAT STUPID HUMOR THAT I CAN'T RESIST (AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOVIE DUE THIS SUMMER). SO, WHEN THIS MOVIE CAME OUT I JUST HAD TO SEE IT. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS UNABLE TO SEE IT IN THE THEATRE FOR I WAS AWAY WHEN IT WAS RELEASED, BUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY, I PICKED IT UP AT A VIDEO STORE FOR MY FRIENDS AND I TO ENJOY. I FOUND MYSELF LAUGHING NON-STOP AT JOE COOPER (PARKER) AND DOUG REAMER (STONE) AS THEY DELIVERED FULL COMEDY TO MY SCREEN. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IT WAS CHILDISH AND SOMEWHAT STUPID, BUT I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS WHERE BEING STUPID WITHOUT INTENTIONALLY TRYING. I WONT GIVE AWAY THE STORY IN CASE ANYONE WANTED TO SEE IT AFTER READING THIS REVIEW, BUT IF YOU'RE A FAN OF SILLY, SLAPSTICK HUMOR SUCH AS THE NAKED GUN TRILOGY, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ONE AND GIVE YOUR FUNNY BONE AND EXCERSIZE. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS FILM FOR YOUNGSTERS AS IT HAS SOME INNAPPROPRIATE DIALOGUE AND SCENES BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LAUGH, HURRY DOWN TO THE VIDEO STORE TO RENT BASEKETBALL.
