Sophomoric but funny

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 1999)

David Zucker's "BASEketball" is sloppy and extremely uneven, it has a sophomoric look to it; yet there's still a few really big laughs in it that are worth a screening. It stars the creators of the controversial cartoon show, "South Park," played by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. From this film, and it's extremely uneven edge, it's pretty unclear to tell whether these two have a talent beyond that of two high school impromptu students. Still, "BASEketball" is worth it for a few undeniably big laughs, especially a few genuinely funny segments with Robert Stack satirizing his "Unsolved Mysteries" persona. Rated R. 103 minutes. 6 out of 10.
