BASEketball description Gross-out comedy reached its peak (or nadir, if you will) when this celebration of juvenile crudeness was released in the summer of 1998. There's Something About Mary was a surprise box-office smash at the same time, and it's a much funnier and (dare we say it?) more intelligently conceived comedy, but there's something to be said for a couple of dudes who blissfully embrace bad taste and improper decorum. As they proved with their popular cartoon series South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are shameless purveyors of scatological humor, and no bodily function escapes their baser instinct for gutter-level guffaws. Here they play a couple of guys who are fed up with the hyper-commercialism of professional sports, so they invent "baseketball"--a hybrid of baseball and basketball--and soon find themselves in the middle of a booming national craze. As baseketball leagues thrive, so does the movie's appetite for puerile shock-jokes and disgusting gags. There are some great throwaway lines and a lot of funny cameos by the likes of Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Jenny McCarthy, Robert Stack, Reggie Jackson, and others, but let's face it--a little of this stuff goes a long, long way. If you laugh a lot, you may be suffering (as Parker and Stone clearly do) from an acute case of arrested development. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | hillarious movie |
| This is a great movie for South Park fans or simply fans of Matt Stone and Trey Parker (the ones whom created South Park and who star in this flick). It's truly funny, though has times which are a bit crude. If you wish to watch something and roll around laughing (as well as you are open-minded and not easily offended by sexual innuendo and the like). The story line is ultimately about 2 losers whom wanted to look cool by creating a new game (a mix of basketball and baseball; hence the name) and by some miracle the game went world wide. This is a great movie for fans of movies like "Major League" | |
