Said plot is nothing more than a vehicle to subject the hip-hop poseur to a variety of ridiculous situations. He finds himself the unexpected champion in a parliamentary election and has to deal with the devious plotting of the Machiavellian Chancellor of the Exchequer (played by Charles Dance, who undergoes all manner of extreme humiliation). The result is a mix of Dumb and Dumber and Leslie Nielsen-esque pratfalls, with a hint of the Peter Sellers character in Being There. A good deal of the intended irony falls flat, and the litany of dated jokes calculated to offend all over the spectrum gets tiresome: from raunchy malapropisms to Ali G's recurrent obsession with being perceived as gay. But Baron Cohen's genius for getting under the skin of his creation remains undiluted. One aspect of special interest to Ali G fans is the light Ali G Indahouse throws on topics that are always behind the scenes in the Ali G Show context. We actually see Ali's Nana and his crib in suburban Staines, and "me Julie" (Kellie Bright) becomes a focal point as the story unwinds. Genial Borat makes an appearance (and gets dissed by Ali); we even learn the secret origin of Ali G's name (an abbreviation of Alistair Graham). It all might add up to a guilty pleasure, but hey--check yaself before ya wreck yaself. --Tom May

Customer Reviews of Ali G Indahouse - The Movie (Widescreen Edition)
So Silly ... Popular British TV Comic's Screen Dedut Sacha Baron Cohen's popular "Ali G" is transferred to the big screen, and the result is not as bad as I expected. Ali G originally appeared as a comic character in Channel 4's program "The 11 O'Clock Show" in 1999, who interviews several celebrities with very (knowingly, but apparently innocently) awkward and embarrassing questions.
But the film shows him as an anti-hero on his own, who lives in British suburbia Staines. Ali G is leading his 'gangstas' (in a mock LA hip-hop fashion), and occasionally teaches the little kids how to swear in the local center. To his chagrin, the center is going to be closed down, but at the same time Ali G is 'found out' (in the silliest way) by Charles Dance's Duputy Prime Minister, and is chosen as candidate for the next by-election. He is of course supposed to lose, but somehow people come to like this awfully outspoken guy after one hilarious debate on TV, and Ali G finds himself in the Cabinet, handling the important national politics like immigration in his very unique way.
The premise is as silly as "Zoolander," but unlike Ben Stiller Ali G often does sexist gags which are probably meant to be ironic, but in fact fail to be so. And he gives now clithed jokes about gays ... yes, funny I admit, but not all viewers would feel the same way. Still, his very native way of delivering these crude jokes has, I thought, some childish but charming qualities especially when he is with his sidekicks, spitting out very silly lyrics of rap music -- like repeating "Ali G, It's me" again and again.
The film is no satire, just a series of stupid jokes about booze, grass, chicks, and so on. Frankly I do not know why Michael Gambon (as Prime Minister) should be here -- and Charles Dance for the matter -- but though the film is nothing particularly great, the fans of Sacha Baron Cohen would not be disappointed.
ali g in da house and in your face
This movie is off the wall! Sacha Baron is out of control! In the tradition of movies like "Friday", "I'm gonna get you sucka!", and "Cheech and Chong's up in smoke", "Ali G in da house" pays its dues. If you can appreciate "Pootie Tang", then you will love "Ali G in da house". Forget movies like "Malibu's Most Wanted"... this is true satire. This NEEDS to be released in the US! Please, everyone vote for this movie to be released!
