Let's be realistic.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Sacha Baren Cohen has created a masterpiece that will be loved by audiences all across the globe! The film has some great one liners that will keep you laughing until it hurts. I have the film on DVD and have watched it at least 10 times, and it never seems to get old! It is quite cringe-worthy in some places but that's what makes ALI G so lovable and this film so brilliant. This is outlined in how it grossed over 10 times its budget and the music in this movie is just brilliant too! This, along with Borat are Sacha's best works and he deserves all the credit that comes his way. The girls aren't have bad in the movie and the films all round display should be admired!

Ali G Indahouse is a decent movie with a bad storyline but it makes up for it with a ton of very funny scenes and a very likable performance as Ali G from Sacha Baron Cohen.Ali G is definitely not my favourite character Sacha Baron Cohen created,and the brief cameo Borat has in this movie just reminded me that he is much funnier than Ali G.I think that Martin Freeman was a bad decision,I always like him in everything he's in,but he is usually a very calm character,and Ricky C just wasn't the right role for him.Fans of the series Da Ali G Show will probably be disappointed with this movie,but will still enjoy the many laugh out loud scenes,and Ali G is a very likable character.While protesting to save his beloved leisure center,Ali G gets caught up with the Prime Minister and makes the government for liked than they've ever been,but the Chancellor has is own plans set up against the Prime Minister.

'Ali G Indahouse' is the first movie of Sacha Baron Cohen's trilogy that was followed by 'Borat' and then 'Bruno'. All three characters originated from Cohen's 'The Ali G Show' and thus, crude and vulgar humour is expected and this kind of humour isn't suitable for all. I found the humour of 'Ali G Indahouse' to be much less crude compared to the followup films. Expectedly, it's a silly movie with a predictable story but entertaining nonetheless. The execution is adequate and the writing a tad nonsensical but most of the jokes work. While actors like Michael Gambon, Charles Dance and Rhona Mitra are left with cliché roles, Sacha Baron Cohen steals the show obviously. Martin Freeman stands out as his homosexual sidekick. Of the three films, I prefer 'Bruno' because of the original story while 'Borat' is the least favourite. I wonder what Cohen has installed next.

Ali G Indahouse is really the only of the three Baron Cohen character comedies to be an actual movie. The Ali G character was the lead character of Da Ali G Show on HBO, while the other two characters appeared as more funny. This has always been the main character for Baron Cohen as well, and the first to be created. So anyway this movie is honestly a very nice ode to the character, as he is not getting a hoaxing movie like the other two characters. So basically you get sort of what you get from Ali G most of the time on Da Ali G Show. The writing isn't spectacular, but you get some well needed cheap laughs from this one.6/10
