From the creators of the Naked Gun films, and starring the creators of the South Park series, comes a spoof of sports and business and anything else that can draw a hearty laugh.

    Unfairly denied a British cinema release after a disastrous US run, this sports spoof from director David Zucker (who made Airplane!, and the first two Naked Gun movies) is wildly offensive fun. It stars South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who play a pair of infantile slobs who invent a popular new game that combines the hoops of basketball with the runs of baseball — and a few sick twists of their own. There are more hits than misses in the slapstick gags, ultra-crude humour and numerous nods to sport, movies and South Park. There's also an eclectic cast that includes Robert Vaughn, Baywatch's Yasmine Bleeth and Ernest Borgnine, making this ideal Friday night fodder.

  • Broad comedy which sends up the clichés of sports movies without managing to be particularly amusing.

    Anyone can be a sports star

    One of my all time personal faves, this film is inventive and absolutely hilarious. Even funnier the second time round. Originally written by David Zucker (Naked Gun, Top Secret) the film has been over run by South Park gang, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The story follows two unlikely athletes from their life as bums to Basketball sport super stars, and as normally happens anywhere near these boys, everyone gets dragged along for the journey.

    • 21 Nov 2005

    Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the men behind South Park, have signed a deal with Paramount. The deal will keep the duo, who also made Team America: World Police, at the studios for three years as Paramount aims to take on a cooler image. Paramount president Gail Berman said: "Trey and Matt are some of the most original voices in entertainment. "They are funny and brilliant, and we are extremely happy they want to continue to make movies with us at Paramount." Besides making the... Read more
