Review of BASEketball

BASEketball (1998)
6/10
Peurile but amusing
6 June 2015
I avoided seeing this film for years, because I assumed that it would be juvenile and stupid. Well, it is all that of course, but I admit that it got more chuckles from me than the average comedy. I have never seen the cartoon that Parker and Stone are famous for, but was at least aware of it. I presume that the humor is similar. There were a lot of star cameos throughout. Many are quite silly, but that is clearly what Zucker, the director, was going for. And for all of the comments about bad acting by Yasmine Bleeth and Jenny McCarthy, the nature of the material dictated that it look that way. The best part was in the beginning with the message about sports commercialism and monstrous egos leading to the end of big league sports. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
