Plot: David Zucker directed this slapstick sports comedy starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Competing two-on-two against some basketball jocks, goofballs Joe Cooper (Parker) and Doug Remer (Stone) attempt to win by devising new rules while they play. Thus is born the bizarre game of BASEketball. Rules: Court position decides whether a sunk basket counts as a single, a home run, or whatever; the opposing team can retrieve missed shots. Verbal abuse is allowed. Ditto for gross-outs -- or anything to annoy the shooter. The game becomes popular in driveways, so sports promoter Ted Denslow (Ernest Borgnine) proposes a deal to form a pro league. Dallas Felons owner Baxter Cain (Robert Vaughn), hopes to increase revenues with product placements and pro endorsements, but he needs the okay of team owners. Ted dies during the season finals, leaving Cain to deal with his widow Yvette (Jenny McCarthy). However, Ted willed the team to Cooper, who must win the upcoming season or ownership goes to Yvette. Cameos by Bob Costas and Al Michaels. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Best movie everrrrrr
Added 12/30/2008

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.

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.

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!
