Two best friends... From the creators of the Naked Gun series, and starring the creators of the South Park series, comes a spoof of sports and business and anything else that can draw a hearty laugh. Two best friends create "baseketball," a sport that combines baseball and basketball, and when their silly idea catches on, they are thrust in the spotlight and become media darlings, much to their chagrin.

There's plenty of ammunition for a satire of pro sports -- and BASEketball isn't it.

I have a terrible confession to make: I laughed myself silly at BASEketball.

the studio should have furnished each ticket-buyer with a free six-pack. ... Putting it in an alcohol-free theatrical setting makes about as much sense as packing a suitcase for your trip to Nudestock.

The kind of flick that serves itself up as the object of its own satire.

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.

The 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.

Adolescent boys, or anyone who loves the idea of an extended argument using only the word 'dude,' will no doubt best appreciate BASEketball.

BASEketball is a dog of a movie and that anyone paying to see it is hurting for a life. But then, you knew that.

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.

It's filled with solid comic performances, equally effective as both physical and verbal buffoonery.

Sadly neglected, high-gag comedy from the South Park lads.

The idea of creating a loose plot outline and costly sets just so two goofballs can clown around and improvise onscreen might sound fun if you're the two goofballs. But it's a chore if you're a member of the audience.

Sophomoric 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.
