Synopsis:

Two childhood friends are pro athletes of a national sport called BASEketball, a hybrid of baseball and basketball, and must deal with a greedy businessman scheming against their team.

The Freak's Rating: A- : Recently I took a trip with my nephew Daniel and his friend Zach.  We traveled to Illinois for Chicago Bears training camp and then ventured back to the Wisconsin Dells to have a day at Noah's Ark.  Having campfire conversations with 14 year olds teaches you some things.  I learned how different communication is from when I was a teenager (you can pretty much have an entire relationship using only text messages).  I learned that even though it may temporarily soil your image to them, honesty can bring you closer to kids than anything else.  I was also re-educated on crude humor.  At 14 years old, farts are hilarious, especially in closed quarters.  Crude humor is king and comedy is best when it is simple.  After a couple days with the guys, I decided that Baseketball would be a movie they would adore, so on the trip back home we stopped by a Best Buy and picked up a copy.

Baseketball is the brain child of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.  With a little help from comedic director genius David Zucker (of Naked Gun and Airplane), the perfect sports comedy is born.  Rude, crude and never pretending to be anything else from the opening credits to the final frame, Baseketball is a hysterical spin on professional sports using the crudest form of humor possible in nearly every scene.

South Park influenced writing is evident everywhere, with Parker and Stone delivering some wonderful dialogue and some moments seeming as if they were meant to be animated.  There is never a pretentious second in the film as penis jokes abound all the while the mediocre script hums right along, cluttered with every swear word you can imagine.

There are moments in Baseketball that are over the top, WAY over the top, but the film had me laughing out loud nearly every minute.  Rude, crude and never pretending to be anything else, Baseketball is a great flick for sports lovers and a wonderful addition to the resume of Parker, Stone and Zucker.

Daniel's Rating: A

Zach T's Rating: A : the funniest movie ever must see!!!!!!
