Crude but highly entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2003)

While many older viewers may struggle to see the humour in many of Trey Parker and Matt Stones low brow jokes in BASEketball, it is most definitely a laugh out loud movie for those blessed (or cursed) with a similar sense of humour to the South Park creators. The story is well designed to suit the combination of slapstick and toilet humour the movie presents, with the Baseketball sport the two leads Cooper and Remer create offering great opportunities for the best gags in the movie with the 'psyche outs' involving ridiculous and hilarious antics to try and make the opposition players miss their shots. In between is the token love story and a best friends have a huge rift then become best friends again twist, but despite using many cliches of the genre they are done in such a way that will have you in stitches, the make up of the two friends at the end of the film is one you will never forget, that's for sure. While a few of the jokes may leave you wondering what the two were on when making this movie, for the vast majority of the film the jokes hit the spot, and hit it hard. A great comedy from two very talented comedians.
