 Film: Ali G Indahouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ali G unwittingly becomes a pawn in the evil Chancellor's plot to overthrow the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Indahouse, however, is not without it's fine comic moments, many of them in the first two minutes as Ali introduces his film.
And Ali's schoolboy sense of mischief also provides a rich vein: his posse lynch a couple of guards, for example, with a playground cry of 'bundle', and a speech he writes for the Chancellor is littered with joyfully childish insults - very much in the style of Newman and Baddiel's History Today.

 IGN: Ali G Indahouse Review
When Ali G casually slips a sexually charged remark into what seems like a legitimate discussion, the humor in it is that the other party accepts him for a bona fide interviewer and has to deal with the implications of that.
Since Ali G is firmly entrenched in the world of hip hop, the meaty beats had to be there.
The deleted scenes, as Ali G admits in the intro are here because "they were too sh*tty to be in the movie, innit." Some of them are childish and silly, like a booger fight between gang members, and another unfunny fart joke.

 MovieFreak.com - "Ali G Indahouse - The Movie" DVD Review
Ali G (Sasha Baron Cohen), the hip-hopping white gangsta-rapper wannabe gets entangles in the evil Chancellor's (Charles Dance) plot to overthrow the Prime Minister of Great Britain (Michael Gambon).
But instead of bringing him down, Ali G is embraced by the nation as the voice of youth and "realness," making the Prime Minister and his government more popular than ever.
Ali G Indahouse is unfunny for most of the duration, and therefore I won't recommend it, not even as a rental, although fans of Da Ali G Show may show a very small interest.

 Ali G - Indahouse
Ali G Indahouse is a mystery to me. I am not an aficionado of the TV series and a wonder that anybody could be from what I’ve seen.
The farcical plot involves Ali G (Sacha Baron) becoming a Member of Parliament and having an impact on affairs as he forces people to “make it real”.
With 'Indahouse', Baron Cohen has obviously been stripped of his greatest weapon - satire, yet he still manages to pull off a film which not only satisfies Ali G fans, but also many people not aware of his earlier work.

 BBC - Films - review - Ali G Indahouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The public's insatiable appetite for Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G character - a white gangsta rapper wannabe hailing from leafy English suburbia - made his eventual transition to the big screen a racing certainty.
The good news for fans of Cohen's ribald creation, though, is that "Ali G Indahouse" delivers more than its fair share of saucy hilarity.
After a hilarious opening sequence shot on the mean streets of East LA, debutant director Mark Mylod sketches Ali's existence as self-styled leader of the 'West Staines Massive': hanging out with best mate Ricky C (Freeman), his affection for "Me Julie" (Bright), and teaching kids the rudiments of surviving ghetto life.

As a searing indictment of politicians who prefer polls over policy, Ali G Indahouse couldn't be more timely.
Okay, so there's Ali who lives with his Nan and his dog Tupac and runs a course for the youth of Staines at the local leisure centre.
But most of the time - as when Ali admonishes an LA gangsta that "It is very sexist to talk about dem bitches in that way" or when his first Parliamentary budget promises to make Rizlas free and put a tax on panties - Ali G Indahouse deserves respect.

 Movie DVD for Ali G Indahouse: The Movie
Ali G Indahouse: The Movie avoids the sort of pseudo-premise we’re used to for the show and instead sticks him in a straight up movie, of the type you might expect from Rowan Atkinson.
Ali G Indahouse: The Movie is a formulaic gangster parody, a lame ass spoof, and a colossal waste of Sacha Baron Cohen’s otherwise fairly serviceable comedic talents.

 Shadows on the Wall: ALI G INDAHOUSE
Baron Cohen, aka Britain's Mike Myers, brings his alter ego Ali G to the big screen (with a cameo for Borat) in this outrageous and energetic comedy.
We're in Ali's strange world in Staines--a white middle class neighbourhood in the grips of gang warfare from rapper wannabes like Ali and his posse (Freeman and Way), not to mention his slapper girlfriend (Bright).
And there are a couple of feeble attempts to push Ali's vaguely serious "keep it real" message, not to mention some mushy romantic entanglements; but fortunately the filmmakers undercut this kind of thing at every opportunity.

Ali G is recruited to stand in the Staines by-election with Carlton, the deputy prime minister, figuring he will prove such an embarrassment that it will reflect badly on the prime minister.
What gives the film its appeal is the wonderful character of Ali G. Even before the film proper begins, he is onscreen next to the film classification certificate claiming that it should be an 18-certificate because it is so crude and rude.
Ali G's comedy embraces racism, sexism, ageism and pretty much every "ism" one could think of, but his tough Staines gangstas are sweet boys at heart (even during their car race through the town they always stay at the speed limit).
