| | | Two guys invented a game...and turned the sports world upside down!
Features: DVD, Aspect Ratio 1.85:1, Dolby Digital (5.1), Dolby Surround Sound
From the director of Naked Gun comes a hilarious, side-splitting spoof of professional sports. When best friends, Coop and Remer (Trey Parker & Matt Stone of South Park), invent a game in their driveway, they have no idea it will catapult them into the national spotlight as heroes of the latest sports craze, Baseketball!
"...the director and his writing colleagues hit lots of right notes..." Time Magazine
"Sporadically funny gross-out comedy... Recommended for anyone eager to see [Ernest] Borgnine sing "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt." " Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Editor's Note
From the creators of the Naked Gun series, and starring the creators of the South Park series, comes a spoof of sports and business and anything else that can draw a hearty laugh. Two best friends create "baseketball," a sport that combines baseball and basketball, and when their silly idea catches on, they are thrust in the spotlight and become media darlings, much to their chagrin.

5 of 5 Does everything these guys touch turn funny? Monday, November 05, 2001
markwilde63 from los angeles, ca
Trey and Matt do it again! Aside from the occasional unfunny "Zuckerism" and the very unfunny Yasmine and Jenny, this movie is right on the mark. Laugh out loud funny all the way through, but definitely not for the grandparents. Well-developed, interesting AND funny. That's tough. Also, Parker and Stone are so engaging (not to mention "Squeak") that you can't believe you could be charmed by a movie that pulls so few punches in the "in your face" comedy department. It's great to see two guys on the top of their game who also seem to be having a truly good time. Check them out in the terrific "Orgasmo", too. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

When down and outs Matt Stone and Trey Parker create a new combination sport that grips the nation , fame and fortune can surely follow . But , this is a sport with a difference, and the twos old fashioned values soon come under strain after the untimley death of their owner and mentor . They are left to fight for control of their team in a season that breeds hilarity and non stop sports action . Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 A classic for fans of weird humor... Sunday, June 27, 1999
debaser from Montgomery, AL
Very few films are crazier than Baseketball. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are excellent in this film. After viewing this one, check them out in Orgazmo. The perfect comedies for acid heads. Was this review helpful?
