Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
By the marginal-or-miss standards of British TV spin-offs, Ali G in da House is well above adequate, even though it drags out every smart line or decent routine until they lie dead on the screen just begging for a laugh track. The film pulls back a bit from the absolute obnoxiousness of the Ali G TV skits, which makes Sacha Baron Cohen's character bearable at feature length, but also significantly less funny. Here it is finally confirmed that Ali is a weedy white kid called Alistair who pretends to be Jamaican, rather than a weedy white comedian doing a Jamaican character.

Believe it or not, there's actually a plot, with a scheming Chancellor of the Exchequer (Charles Dance) recruiting Ali as a parliamentary candidate for Staines in a devious attempt to unseat Prime Minister Michael Gambon. Yet this framework is really an excuse for the sketch-like bits, such as a Los Angeles ghetto movie fantasy, Ali G addressing a meeting of lesbian feminists ("I've seen a lot of your videos"), and Charles Dance forced to read a budget speech in Ali G speak. Oddly, the film makes early-1990s jokes about Tories rather than going after New Labour, but any political satire here comes in second to knob-polishing jokes and sometimes-hilarious patter. Luckless inhabitants of the M4 corridor will nod ruefully at the final gag, in which Ali G persuades the PM not to devastate Staines and nods agreement as Gambon reassures him, "it's all right, we'll destroy Slough instead". --Kim Newman

- So funny
i have never sat and watched this film and not had someone laugh during it. i have watched this film numerous times and laughed everytime. people who do not find this funny need to get a sense of humour and lighten up, i mean it is just a funny film, nothing else to add.
FUNNY

- Prurient, better suited to small screen
It's funny (not the film), but I remember Ali G being funnier than this film. I used to catch his television show occasionally and I thought that his pranks with (usually elderly) minor celebrities and politicians were funny. Short bursts of this character are funny. He should have remained just one character in a sketch show.

The trouble with this film is that (a) it's long and (b) there are no 'real' unsuspecting people pulled into his act. The beginning is too weird, the middle is a bit boring (I left the room a few times without pressing pause), but it does pick up a little at the end when things start to happen.

I also did wonder that this only has a 15 certificate given its lewd nature. I only mean compared to ... Read More:

- Troppo
Loved and laughed a lot with Baron's tv shows in the 90's. The Jews are smart and funny but Baron doesn't know where to draw the line. Because of the obsessed focus on private parts he becomes predictable which deflates the excitement. He is indeed clever and has an enviable gift - humour: shame he grinds it into the ground by lewdness. Children are in the show yet one could not let children view it!
This dvd is colourful and well presented. The production is contemporary. Now I have seen it I will chuck it. More prefered are his cunning reality based performances which gain insight whilst exposing truths beneficial for knowledge and a hearty giggle eg: "Ali G in Da USA" and "Ali G, innit".

- rubbish
Watched it a few years back before I went to college. Who ever thougt South Park The Movie would have been laugh out loud back in the day? Who would have thought this would have been unfunny prior to seing it- noone.

Not funny. Nothing about it is laugh out loud. Really annoying and cringe inducing. Got the annoying bloke from The Office who looks like a monkey in it also. Some of the stuff Sacha Baron Cohen comes out with cracks me up, but I really hate him when he sticks to this catch phrase cra p.

- If You Like Ali G Then This Is Your Sort of Film
This film is certainly worth seeing! It is farcical and stupid but done incredibly well. It's done so well you just want to keep on watching to see what happens next.

It's all very original and `Ali G` is on top form with his very unique character and behaviour. I'm surprised Charles Dance agreed to playing a part like the one he did, particularly at the end where he is wearing women's clothing (But that's the sign of a top actor - where no role is considered below them).

The whole way through, the film is daft, crude, rude and sexist, which is its main strength and what makes it so good - you will watch it thinking this but won't turn it off because you just have to see the whole thing.

Its one worth having ... Read More:
