Better than Baseketball

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2004)

Baseketball was good (I re-watched it last night after watching Dodgeball yesterday afternoon) but it wasn't nearly as funny as Dodgeball. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are better left to voice-overs and using scissors then actual comedic acting, especially when it comes to sarcasm; Vince Vaughn is the king of that, and he shines in that role as normal.
If you can put up with Ben Stiller being a character that just makes you cringe, like him in Zoolander, then you can deal with his obnoxiousness in this movie. A lot of people liked Zoolander. I sure didn't, I think he was funnier in more traditional comedies like Something about Mary and Meet the Parents. Also, was he wearing a body suit? I never heard of someone putting on muscle for a comedic role. Anyway, obnoxious as he was he still made me laugh. The rest of the cast were funny also, Milton Waddams from Office Space was in there, I couldn't stop thinking about Swingline staplers when I saw him. Also, I always thought Marcia Brady might have been a carpet muncher. Sexy box licker though. The rest of the cast were all nobodies, kind of like me, so they were all right.
10/10 in the slapstick comedy genre
