Best Comedy Ever, or Best Comedy EVER?


I think.....Best comedy ever. At least, it's the only one that never fails to make me laugh at all the same parts I've always laughed at, even after seeing it 7 times.

7 times? I've seen it more than that, and it's not even close to my favorite comedy.

I'm always looking for new movies to watch, so 7 times is a pretty big amount. Pans Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies of all time and I've seen it only 4 times.

like you im a connoisseur of movies, i don't like overly watching a movie to burn out the best scenes, I myself will only watch my favourite movie once every few years, but i know if a movies good, if im not finding something that interest me, and i think "hmm, i feel like watch blah blah genre" and a movie stands out, BASEketball stands out... i myself will be watching it for the 6th-7th tome myself tonight.

This is my favorite comedy ever. This is the only movie that can make me, like you said, laugh at all the same parts of the movie. Seen it more times than I think of. At least 200 times.

It alternates between hilarious and painfully bad, on a scene-to-scene basis. Most of the stuff that makes you cringe is because Matt and Trey's very bad acting in certain parts. I always thought they wrote this movie, and that's the reason they were in it. There was no excuse to cast them otherwise. Almost anyone else could have done better.

The third actor, Squeak, really should have been murdered rather than filmed. God, he was awful. Just pure pain.

Still, Matt and Trey really do nail a few scenes. There are big laughs from the TV guys and all the background humor. Bleeth was surprisingly great.

It's a hard movie to rate. But I laughed a lot and I do recommend it, so it's a 7/10.

Yes! I cant count how many times I've watched this and it always makes me laugh, and always makes me wish baseketball was a real sport.
