Editorial Review:
This is one of those wildly vulgar comedies full of scattershot jokes and random acts of silliness, directed by Airplane codirector David Zucker. For good measure, he's cast South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, as a pair of slacker pals who invent a game (blending baseball and basketball) that takes the country by storm. Intended as a satire on the raging greed of professional sports, it trades extravagantly in rudely vulgar humor; the jokes are so numerous and fly in so many directions that they're bound to offend--and amuse--everyone at some point. A key aspect of the game: defending players get to psych-out their opponents in gross and insulting ways, which is where Parker and Stone shine. The film's real discovery is Dian Bachar, a tiny comic dynamo, who plays the team's most put-upon player. --Marshall Fine
BASEketball [Region 2] Reviews:
Best movie everrrrrr 
2008-12-30 - I love Matt and Trey. But I guess you'd have to find their voice expressions humorous- otherwise it's just "dumb". If you watch the south park DVD seasons with commentaries on, you might change your first impression of the show or the writers. It's far more thought provoking, its just masked in obcenities. This movie was not the best I will totally admit that, but you have got to love their effort. If you're not a fan of Team America or South Park you should probably pass. If you don't know what South Park is...you need to start from the basics.
TOTALLY TOTALLY AWFUL!!! 
2008-09-02 - I saw this when it came out, watched it once--but not all the way through and then got rid of it. It was SO very tacky. It was very, very low budget. Poor acting. Ignorant.
These guys need to stay behind the scenes and do South Park. Their over-the-edge humor and voices are more histerical than their acting.
Stay away from this film. (gag) And watch South Park instead.
Awwww!! Aww!!! 
2008-07-29 - Just got this on DVD and forgot how funny it was. Great cameos. Particularly Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a living souvenir punching the clock at the end of the day! Awesome to see all the great actors sharing Matt and Trey's humor, but how did they pull off getting all those people into this movie at the time? Great to hear some of the familiar South Park voices of Mr./Ms. Garrison and Cartman in there as well as Stan Marsh's disgusted "Awwww!! Aww!!!" line. Hilarious!
Awesome comedy!!!! 
2008-05-20 - If you enjoyed watching south park the movie and the show. then you will really like this movie. Its funny in every way. they did an awesome job with this movie.
