5.0 out of 5 stars Home run slam dunk!!, 13 May 2003

By	Trelloskilos - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Anyone who has giggled at least once during South Park will enjoy this on some level. The Parker/Michaels combo can bring "underground" US comedy down to it's basest level, and still have you rolling about on the sofa in laughter. One-liners, visual comedy, slapstick and pastiche are all here without relying too heavily on running jokes (Mike Myers), Profanity (Kevin Smith), or excessive face-pulling (Jim Carrey)

The aim of the game is to score home runs using a basketball hoop, while the defence has to try to distract the "batter" using any means possible (and these get very diverse!). The two heroes of the film, the inventors and star players of the game, have to contend with a corporate big-wig who wants to "sell-out" the game. In addition, they must win the league to keep their team as bequeathed in a will of the game's founding financer.

Add to that a love story, a bunch of goofy sidekicks and some pretty warped humour, and you have a film with an admittedly generic plot, but who cares? When you're having this much fun, the plot is dispensable anyway....

Brilliant stuff!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Woo hoo!, 10 Jan 2002

By A Customer

I have seen the many other reviews that have all been consistently good... this one is no different! I first saw Baseketball on TV but as soon as I saw it I just KNEW I had to buy it! Absolutely hilarious comedy that both me and ALL of my friends found both genius and top quality entertainment! While those of us who don't wish to have much fun may not like it... the others most definately will! A definate must for your movie collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a BRILLIANT film and when i say BRILLIANT i mean BRILL!, 26 Dec 2001

By A Customer

This film is so funny and at the same time interesting in a funny sort of way. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are hilarious as the main characters. These 2 "dudes!" invent a new sport called BASEketball. Its a cross between basketball and baseball as you may have guessed. the game is a huge success and as usuall the film ends with the main team needing to score 1 basket to win the championship. This film may seem abit predictable but the humor makes up for this. I would most definately recommend you buy this video, i certainy am going to.
