Reviews for Baseketball
This one went wrong somehwere, and is just gross, dumb and insulting.
01/01/00
With writing like this, can an Academy Award be far behind?
04/09/05
Degenerates into a tedious series of unamusing and rather forced gross-out gags.
01/01/00
It's not very funny and tries to buy laughs with puerile shocks.
01/01/00
Top CriticTheir incessant, obscene banter is meant to be endearing; their total lack of presence makes it simply annoying.
03/25/08
Top CriticSadly neglected, high-gag comedy from the South Park lads.
01/01/00
Jenny McCarthy and Ernest Borgnine -- together at last.
03/25/08
Top CriticThe comedy sets up some very big targets -- the commercialization of sport, crass franchise owners, sentimental idolatry of players, exploitation of foreign workers by superstar merchandisers -- and then lobs tiny spitballs at them.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe kind of flick that serves itself up as the object of its own satire.
04/12/02
Top CriticAdolescent boys, or anyone who loves the idea of an extended argument using only the word 'dude,' will no doubt best appreciate BASEketball.
01/01/00
[A] funny, gleefully offensive spoof of professional sports.
01/01/00
Top CriticSophomoric comedy barely curves a few laughs over home plate, pops up a lot of corny and repetitive jokes, but hits a homerun for originality and strong performances.
01/01/00
It's filled with solid comic performances, equally effective as both physical and verbal buffoonery.
01/01/00
The vulgar, obvious humor of Zucker brother David and South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone elicits easy, guilty laughs, yet the material has an underlying innocence that's just shy of good clean fun.
03/25/08
Top CriticA grand slam!
09/10/02
If you're old enough to see this movie without a parent or guardian and all that sounds encouraging, this review has failed, and failed badly.
02/14/01
Top CriticIs it dumb? You bet. Is it funny? Sporadically.
03/25/08
I have a terrible confession to make: I laughed myself silly at BASEketball.
10/15/02
In the end, the surprisingly funny, though vulgar, energy of the first 30 minutes, is traded for distracted and unfocused vulgarity, without the inspired lampoonery.
