david zucker have direct one of the most enjoyable comedy of the year with this goofy farce . yes and it a matter of acquire taste and depend upon a wealth of sophomoric gag and but it be consistently funny throughout unlike some recent comedic effort . the film be load with all kind of joke range from the blatantly obvious to the more subtler kind that you must pay attention to everything in the frame or you will likely miss them . like his previous effort which include airplane . and top secret . and and naked gun and the humor fly out almost every second . there be so many moment that work and it easy to overlook the few that fall flat . what set this movie apart from other pale imitation in the spoof genre be that it have an actual story line . while others have depend upon make fun of too many famous scene in almost random movie ( take mafia . and please ) and this film tell a new story with likable character . it touch upon sport film in general as well a satirize the real sport industry instead of lampoon any specific movie . even for people who do not care for south park and it creator and matt stone and trey parker and make a good pair of lead actor with natural chemistry . the film also make extremely effective use of cameo of athlete and sport announcer and and other celebrity and especially a hilarious bit with robert stack of unsolved mystery . by the way and stay through the credit for a final joke with bob costa and al michael . all in all and zucker have achieve and in word perhaps apply to the movie mix of sport and a home dunk .
