Though the games seem endlessly the same, Zucker keeps the drum beat for the comic zingers pounding incessantly if erratically. Personally, I expected a grosser comic palette from BASEketball , but the balance leans toward stupidity. The montage work is especially unimaginative. Add a star to the rating for audiences from ten to fifteen, but parents concerned about sexual references and foul language are forewarned. The images are sharp with no evident edge enhancement.
Colors are as bright and sassy as the comedy.
I think some opportunities were missed to create sound gags with aggressive sonic attitude. Included with the BASEketball is a promo short. David Zucker sites the origin for BASEketball as a game created and played on his driveway. The principals acknowledge that a huge amount of improvisation made it into the final cut. Along with typical production notes there's a theatrical trailer and the BASEketball music video, which plays a lot worse than the film.
