Baseketball: A Hilarious Comedy for Any Sports Fan to Enjoy

Baseketball is a hilarious comedy that stars Matt Stone and Trey Parker as they invent a new hilarous game called Baseketball that captivates the nation. The film starts off by showing Trey Parker who plays a character named Cooper at a New York Yankees baseball game, watching his hero Reggie Jackson hit three homeruns in a game.

This highlights Cooper's dream of becoming a great sports star. The film then flashes to images of professional sports becoming a joke with athletes only caring about celebrations and teams constantly switching places, players, and cities. This leads to fans not going to any sports events.

The game of Baseketball starts off with Cooper and Matt Stone who plays the role of Doug Raymer as adults drinking beer and going to a high school reunion house party. During the party they are challenged to a game of basketball. With money on the line in the game, the two men make up their own rules in playing basketball. The rules are like baseball; you get three outs, there are singles, doubles, triples, and homeruns according to the location you shoot from.

Their is also an aspect called a psyche out in which a player on the opposing team can distract the shooter on the other team. During the game a crowd gathers and pretty soon the game of baseketball is expanded to other driveways throughout the neighborhood. Cooper creates a baseketball which is a giant baseball made out of cotton and stitching. Cooper's friend named Squeak Scolari also plays a role as a player on their baseketball team. He is constantly being made fun of by Cooper and Raymer in some pretty funny jokes.

Then one day a billionare named Ted Denslow talks to Cooper and asks him about making baseketball a national sport played professionally. Ted Denslow wants to return the sport to a past time where teams dont constantly switch teams and players ane getting paid millions of dollars. In the championship game of baseketball, Cooper is "faked out" and misses the game wining shot when he watches Ted Denslow choke on a hotdog. In his will, Ted Denslow gives Cooper ownership of the baseketball league.

During the film there is the romantic storyline of Cooper falling in love with a woman named Jena who runs a center for kids with termianlly ill diseases. The love relationship causes a rift between Cooper and Raymer. Another side note is one of the kids in the foundation that Jena runs, looks up to Cooper as a hero and Cooper tries to win his game for the young boy.

Some scenes are quite hysterical like when the little boy is having a transplant procedure and Cooper and Raymer almost shock the boy to death with their stupidity. Lastly, there is the storyline of another owner of a team trying to make more money in the sport of baseketball by convincing Cooper and Raymer that players should get paid more and switch teams and cities, an idea that Cooper adamantly opposes.

The film stars guest appearances by several famous sports people such as comentary by Bob Costas, John Madden, Al Michaels, and Dan Patrick.

Towards the end, Cooper and Raymer gets set up by the owner of another team and are blackmailed by pictures of their clothing line being made by underage children in Calcuta. Cooper must not play in the championship game or the pictures will be undisclosed to everyone in the media.

Cooper decides to go to Calcuta and make drastic changes to stop the child labor. In the final game of the season, Cooper hits the game winning shot under immense pressure, the crowd goes wild and Cooper reunites with his girlfirend Jena and the story ends in a happy ending.
