considering this film stars Trey Parker and Matt Stone(the creators of the long running animated series south Park it's surprisingly not as crude or disgusting as you might think.Maybe David Zucker(director and co-writer) reined them in a bit anyway,Parker and Stone play two lifelong slacker friends who come up a new game combining elements of Baseball and basketball.i found it entertaining and funny. it isn't a masterpiece,nor does it pretend to be.for what it is,(a silly comedy)it works well.the main goal with this movie is to make the audience laugh.and in that regard,(for me anyway)it achieves its objective.for me,BASEketball is a 6.5/10.

Finally, a comedy that actually makes you laugh THROUGHOUT the whole movie! These days, it seems like most of the comedies are boring and lame, and don't really have jokes that make you laugh; it's all forced. But I actually laughed while watching BASEketball.The story is about two best friends who take a game that they created and and played in their backyard, to an official national sport. They then face problems along the way and try to solve them.The primary characters are Joe Cooper - played by Trey Parker - and Doug Remer - by Matt Stone. They are both portrayed splendidly and humourisly. The acting didn't lack anything and it was near perfect! Joe Cooper is the serious, responsible one that has his principles and goals. Whereas Doug Remer is the loose, spoiled one. In a way, they're a perfect match.The secondary characters are Jenna Reed - played by Yasmine Bleeth - and Squeak Scolari - by Dian Bachar. They add a lot to the story, and make it all the more better. Jenna works for a foundation that helps sick kids, and both Joe and Doug are attracted to her. Squeak is hilarious, and is Joe and Doug's teammate and friend.The story is unique, like the sport, and funny. It was really well written and produced. Certainly one to talk about for decades, and one of a kind.You should definitely watch this movie! It would be a waste if you don't, since it's one of the funniest movies ever.

OK, I'm sure this may not be every middle aged person's brand of vodka due to the fact that they may consider it childish and lacking a depth in the plot. However, for those of us who were born in the early 90s this film is the best comedy you will ever see. No clichés, no forced morals just straight up, legit humor. Sure some actors may seem a little out of place (Yasmine Bleeth), but what do you care? As long as there are consistent solid (South Park-esquire) jokes in every scene and wordplay so perfectly funny that will make you fall from whatever you' re sitting on. All in all this is the greatest comedy of all time. Not just worth a rent, worth a buy, and I can undoubtedly say that this is better than South Park. I 100 % guarantee that you will not get bored watching this movie as happens with many South Park episodes. It's just so excellent. It delivers 100 % what it promises, comedy, comedy, comedy.
