Parental Review for BASEketball

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 1999)

What its About: Two losers from Milwaukee, Coop & Remer (Trey Parker & Matt Stone), invent a new game playing basketball, using baseball rules. But when they must win a BASEketball title, or they lose their professional team to a rich greedy owner.
Will Kids Want to Watch it?: Once they hear that it stars the creators of the hit popular TV show South Park they will want to see it. Maybe the sexy, popular Jenny Mccarthy who has a small role in the film might reel some young teens in. But thing is this is more of a crude twisted Waynes World type flick with good comedy that not many children would understand.
MPAA Rating: R
Sex/Nudity: Loads and loads of ranchy phrases just like from Parker and Stones show. Exotic dancing cheerleaders go-go and bounce their way around. Crude humor including "laying some rug" See movie to get that last one.
Drugs/Alcohol: The boys and a 8 year old boy indulge in drinking abuse, yet suffer consequences.
Violence/Scariness: Two friends betray each other. Child labor is shown. Some violence on the field...not much at all though.
Questionable Words/Phrases: Well into triple digits.
What's Good About it: BASEketball isn't about salaries or money, its all about the game.
What's Bad About it: One viewing is all your kids need to complete the entire book of bad words.
Appropriate Ages: 17-18
