A strong character from the British comedian, his original crowd pleaser and probably more popular in the UK than anywhere else but despite that this film doesn't really hit the mark.
Like all movie adaptations of comedy shows that are typically 30min long, a feature length vers... read more -

Most film adaptions of TV shows dont work, this is the occasional one that does work. I liked it because it focuses on the character from the TV show and doesn't try to change anything or add anything to appeal to a wider audience. It promises laughs even if you haven't seen Ali ... read more

I am a huge fan of all of Baron Cohen's alter egos, except Bruno. But this movie is nothing like Ali G. The writers made up a fake story about the character and didn't make audiences who loved the character happy. Despite Cohen's best attempts, Ali G Indahouse needs an eviction n... read more

Oh the things you end up watching when it's somebody else's choice! Ok, I have to admit to laughing on a couple of moments. It's sort of car crash tv, you know you shouldn't look, but something makes you do it!

It didn't really work as a film, luckily SBC realised this in time for his stronger character, Borat. It?s really infantile and quite shit but there are some guilty laughs in there. I bet Martin Freeman has removed this one from his CV though!

"This is my hood and these girls belong to me.
- Belong? That is a very sexist way to talk about these bitches."
I remember this character way back from the early start of the century. Ali G is a sexist, wannabe "gangstarapper" with a big mouth and a big hole in common knowledge... read more -

What makes Ali G a great character is the honest uncomfortable moments with political figures. A scripted movie feels more like a watered down Pootie Tang.

Pass this one to your girlfriend and she gonna laugh with you but warning not everyone will like this and in years to come people will look back in horror at this movie.
Critic Reviews
Pre-Borat, a raunchy spoof of a hip-hop pretender. Full Review
It's got 12 or 15 moments of inspired comedy ... stuck in an 88-minute frame packed with full-on wheel-spinning. Full Review
...a cliched and somewhat tedious comedy... Full Review
A cross between Spice World and Malibu's Most Wanted, only much funnier.
Ali's graduation from little screen to big is far less painful than his opening scene encounter with an over-amorous terrier. Full Review
Frankly, it's pretty stupid. I had more fun with Ben Stiller's Zoolander, which I thought was rather clever. But there's plenty to offend everyone... Full Review
It's all about taking the joke too far, and it's fun
