I bought this for my foster son - he thoroughly enjoyed it (he's into basketball himself anyway). He said that it was very funny and he was laughing out loud! Well worth it.
If you like south park style comedy mixed with the slapstick of the naked gun and airplane! then Baseketball is right up your street. Parker and Stone worked with David Zucker on this "sports" comedy that has a little more going for it than run-of-the-mill gross-out. Lazy wannnabe sports star losers invent a combination of basketball and baseball which goes pro thanks to billionaire Ernest Borgnine but they still can't win the championship or score with Yasmine Bleeth! With evil Robert Vaughn and the gorgeous Jenny McCarthy trying to take over the team can Coop and Reamer stay friends, save the team, win the Denslow cup and win back Yasmine Bleeth? Some great visual gags and a largely improvised script, check it out if you like Orgazmo, Team America World Police or if you're just a general fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The DVD extras are Ok, a making of featurette which I enjoyed, the Yank sports stars making cameos could be anyone though and I'm sure there's plenty of in-jokes about American sports I didn't get. I bought this my brother in law for Christmas but in the end didn't give it to him as i enjoyed it so much.Read full review
I love this film as it has me in stitches. It is from the creators of South Park and is based on a sport that is across between baseball and basketball - hence the name. It has great cameos, plus like the Naked Gun collection it is a film each time you watch you spot something new in the background. My favourite bit is the psychic outs. So if you like those films, you'll like this. I brought it again as I lost my original copy, it is well worth a look.
Baseketball is an awesome film as it combines the comedy of Trey Parker and Matt Stone with the "Big Screen". It is about two young men, Joe Cooper and Doug Remer, who unknowingly create the worlds next biggest sport, Baseketball. Along with their friend Sqeak, they rise to fame, only to find that although they are the creators of this sport, they suck at it in comparison to the other teams. One of the things I like in the film is the "Psych-Outs", because they make you laugh out loud. One Thing I dislike about this film is the weak plot, but I think the films comedic charm well makes up for it. I would recommend this film to anyone
