Synopsis
Two losers from Milwaukee, Coop and Remer, invent a new game playing basketball, using baseball rules. When the game becomes a huge success, they, along with a billionaire's help, form the Professional Baseketball League where everyone gets the same pay and no team can change cities. Theirs is the only team standing in the way of major rule changes that the owner of a rival team wants to institute.

Austin Chronicle
Sick, twisted, and very funny, Parker and Stone have arrived. Again. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The pop-culture answer to a murder-suicide, the kind of flick that serves itself up as the object of its own satire. - 50
Chicago Reader
I was bored well before the end, but found the first half hour pretty funny. - 50
The New York Times
Essentially two movies stuck together like chewing gum on a subway platform. One is a dumber-than-dumb teen comedy crammed with farcical sight-gags and raunchy adolescent humor, the other a no-holds-barred satire of professional sports, and the greed, egotism and pomposity surrounding them. - 50
ReelViews
When I watch a comedy, I want it either to present endearing characters in fun situations or to make me laugh frequently. BASEketball accomplishes neither objective. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Not half-bad. It's about three- quarters bad, actually, but what's left offers some goof-off fun. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
Starts promisingly as an attack on modern commercialized sports, and then turns into just one more wheezy assembly-line story about slacker dudes vs. rich old guys. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
Exhibits none of the infectious offhand tastelessness of their hit show and all of the insistent overkill of a Mel Brooks joke gone horribly wrong.
