    One or two laughs but not enough to stop this film from being crap.

    just plain stupid

    Creators of South Park here, and they rock, Parker is bloody hilarious, reminds me of a young Rik Mayall. The whole thing is utterly stupid but very funny and rude. Toilet humour, sexist, vulgar, its topps, I dont know why they haven't done anymore good comedies (live action I me...( read more)an, not animated)

    This is one of those films where, if I'd seen it at home, sober as a judge with a nice cup of tea in my hand, I would've been appalled at the puerile adolescence of it all. However, after 8 pints of lager, it had me squirting beer out of my nose. Read into that what you will...

    please they should stick to cartoons with swear words in it .

    As Parker and Stone have admitted, what's good about this film is the stupidity of the idea--it's almost a non-idea, and the "psyche-outs" are the least funny parts. The stars are well served by the Zuckerness of the enterprise.

    In a world where professional sports sunk to a new low, there are two guys who invented a game that took them to big time...and turned the sports world upside down! The fans adore them and the forces drive them apart. Childhood friends Cooper and Remer are pro athletes of a natio...( read more)nal sport called BASEketball, a hybrid of baseball and basketball that they first played only in house driveways. Now they must deal with a greedy businessman who is scheming against their team.

    Directed by David Zucker, BASEketball features great acting performances from the following cast:
    1.) Trey Parker (Joe Cooper)
    2.) Matt Stone (Doug Remer)
    3.) Yasmine Bleeth (Jenna Reed)
    4.) Jenny McCarthy (Yvette Denslow)
    5.) Robert Vaughn (Baxter Cain)
    6.) Ernest Borgnine (Ted Denslow)
    7.) Dian Bachar (Squeak Scolari)

    When I first heard this film title on its release I mispronounced it as "BAH-SEH-ketball" as what I originally thought. Now that I watched it I knew it would be fun for two South Park creators to team up with The Naked Gun director as a likely combination for a good comedy even though it was a embarrassing air ball at the box office. But what the hey - it was the rude R-rated humor that made the film funny, and I liked it as I laughed through it. Whenever there's sportsmanship, there's always an excessive celebration every time the team scores victory, complete with the passion and triumph coming within themselves.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's not very funny and tries to buy laughs with puerile shocks. full review
