Funny

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2004)

Sometimes you see a movie and you know that it's stupid. You know that it's childish to laugh at it, and that it's not really THAT funny. But still you can't help yourself and constantly find your self laughing.. This is that kind of movie.
Joe Cooper (Trey Parker) and Doug Remer (Matt Stone) are two friends from school who are heading to a reunion when the movie starts. They are both losers and everyone else at the reunion seems to have made something out of themselves. Then they get dared to play basketball against two other guys. They then proceed to invent their own game where you don't have to run or break a sweat... Soon this game becomes a huge hit under the name "Baseketball" (mix between Basketball and Baseball).
If you've seen a David Zucker-outing before you know roughly what to expect. Like in the Naked Gun the comedy is fast and often below the belt. What really works to this films advantage is Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Their comical timing is excellent and they seem to really enjoy themselves. I'm quite surprised how well they work here!
So, this IS really funny if you overlook the fact that it's more than a little childish. I rate it 6/10.
