Movie Reviews of BASEketball
Movie Review: Funnier than South Park
Summary: 5 Stars
BASEketball was written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone who also play the main characters in the film. You maybe thinking where you've heard their names before. They are the creators of South Park, the hilarious american comedy. BASEketball shows that Parker and Stone can do much more than write cartoons. It is a very funny film in which they invent a game called Baseketball. It is a cross between baseball and basketball, and they invented it so they can win at it. The newly-found sport takes off and soon everyones playing it countrywide. But will they sell out to make more money, or keep the game how it should be?
It is a very simple film to understand, and is one of the funniest films i've ever seen. The jokes keep on coming and even if you don't like South Park that gives you no reason to not like this as it's completly different. It is much under-rated and if you haven't seen it yet i suggest you rent it NOW!
Movie Review: An underrated treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
Disgusting? Check. Juvenile? Check. Sadistic? Check. BASEketball is all these things, but it is also so much more, thanks to the Zucker (Airplane, Top Secret!, Naked Gun) touch.Though it stars Matt Stone and Trey Parker, BASEketball doesn't really resemble South Park so much as Zucker's other straight-faced screwball comedies, and it's obvious these two fit into that rubric perfectly. It is not merely that Matt Stone puts a sex toy in his mouth, it is the zeal with which he attacks it that makes the scene a gut-buster. Zucker supposedly cast the duo before South Park became such a phenomenon, and it's a gamble that paid off artistically.
Not everyone's gonna like this movie. Some won't get it, a few more might be really turned off by a guy-on-guy kiss near the movie's climax, and the rest just won't find it funny for whatever reason. For everyone else, there's no shame in howling with laughter.
Movie Review: A hilarious David Zucker movie, not a South Park movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
When viewing this flick, people have to remember the one really important fact about it. And that fact is that it's hilariously directed and co-written by David Zucker, mastermind of such classic comedies as Airplane!, Top Secret, and Naked Gun. Baseketball is his baby and it just happens to star the two guys who created South Park who, in their own right, are pretty funny guys and capable actors. There are moments in this picture that are pure Zucker and I challenge any fan of farcical (is that a word?) movies not to laugh throughout this one. It's just retardedly funny. I remember the theater I saw it in. It was a preview audience, packed to the gills, and the place was just roaring in laughs and disgust. It had all the markings of a big hit, but somehow ate it in the dust of other movies doing well at the time. Maybe it will find success on video and DVD.Movie Review: What more can I say?
Summary: 5 Stars
What more can I say about this comedic masterpiece. Is there anything that Trey Parker and Matt Stone can't do? They have looked into the face of adversity and farted right back at them Terrance and Philip style. This movie is a gem from start to finish. Trey keeps the slapstick going the whole time, something Family Guy likes to rip off of the comic duo often (as we have seen in a recent episode of South Park entitled "Cartoon Wars"). The best thing about this movie is Kenny AKA "Little Bitch." When I thought i could't laugh anymore, his character always took it too the next level (much like in Orgazmo as well).
To be honest, the minute I finished watching this movie I got my buddies together and tried to play this wonderful front yard game. It didn't last too long, but the laughs from this movie will.
Movie Review: My Review...
Summary: 5 Stars
BASEketball is about 3 guys who in the era of sell outs for sport men, invent a game like basketball, but with baseball rules. There are NO sports heros anymore, teams have traded, people have sold out, thank you Coop, Reemer and Squeak. Also, a big point in the movie is, a little boy named Joey who is dying because he needs a liver and Yassmeen Bleeth plays Jenna, the leader of the Foundation who helps Joey. Coop insantly likes her.Ok, this movie is a laugh a minute movie, and Trey Parker and Matt Stone with Dian Bacher play their parts so well! I have seen this movie atleast 10 times and it is still as funny as the first!
Sorry I could not add more to the summary, I do not copy from other people, I have a head ache and writters block is setting in right now...
