Review of BASEketball (1998) by Eric On His Fantasy Quest V — 17 Oct 2009

In a world where professional sports sunk to a new low, there are two guys who invented a game that took them to big time...and turned the sports world upside down! The fans adore them and the forces drive them apart. Childhood friends Cooper and Remer are pro athletes of a national sport called BASEketball, a hybrid of baseball and basketball that they first played only in house driveways. Now they must deal with a greedy businessman who is scheming against their team.

Directed by David Zucker, BASEketball features great acting performances from the following cast:

1.) Trey Parker (Joe Cooper).

2.) Matt Stone (Doug Remer).

3.) Yasmine Bleeth (Jenna Reed).

4.) Jenny McCarthy (Yvette Denslow).

5.) Robert Vaughn (Baxter Cain).

6.) Ernest Borgnine (Ted Denslow).

7.) Dian Bachar (Squeak Scolari).

When I first heard this film title on its release I mispronounced it as "BAH-SEH-ketball" as what I originally thought. Now that I watched it I knew it would be fun for two South Park creators to team up with The Naked Gun director as a likely combination for a good comedy even though it was a embarrassing air ball at the box office. But what the hey - it was the rude R-rated humor that made the film funny, and I liked it as I laughed through it. Whenever there's sportsmanship, there's always an excessive celebration every time the team scores victory, complete with the passion and triumph coming within themselves.
