Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review By the marginal-or-miss standards of British TV spin-offs, IAli G in da House/I 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 IAli G/I 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. p 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". --IKim Newman/I

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. br / br /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). br / br /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. br / br /Its one worth having for the collection if you're feeling down and want to lift your spirits and mood a bit, or even just to have a laugh with some friends. There will probably be nothing quite like it ever again, and you`ll probably never want to see it ever again, but at least you can say you have seen it the once. br / br /Thanks, br / br /Miles br / Ali G In Da House -- IT'S GOOD!! July 6, 2002 retronaut 13 out of 17 found this review helpful I saw Ali G In Da House in a Sneak Preview and I found it quite entertaining.brIt's some comedy in the style of Mel Brooks films but Ali G makes the difference.pWhile loaded with pretty much stupid scenes the film overall delivers!brSome people went out of the cinema... the remaining 98 % laughed all the evening through!pI think the movie has soul and love in it and a lot of British trademark humour!brDidn't know that Ali G is from UK because I only knew him from Madonna's Music-Video or Me Julie with Shaggy...pLoved the movie... I'm waiting for the DVD!!! Di Film Is Da Bomb! December 16, 2003 S. P. Morrison (Guildford, UK) 5 out of 14 found this review helpful Yo! Checkit before you wreck it. Coming at yer like Cleopatra...brDis is one totally wicked flick. Da Staines Massive Pimp Daddy to the max is in full form, as is Rhona Mitra, rorrww!brbrIt's not just Ali G who makes this film, (well obviously him make da film), but he has many great supporting characters, like Ricky C (Tim Freeman) who is a comedy god. A little slow in places, the bits wiv me Julie esp., but compared to many other British comedy films I think it even stands up to a second viewing. Well mental motor too.pSo prepare to Hollaaaaaaaa In Da House September 29, 2002 9 out of 30 found this review helpful I went and saw this at the cinema and i laughed me noggin off this is a must see movie, i went with my mates and that week it was the only thing we talked about, ill be the first to buy it when its out on dvd! Ali G at his best! May 12, 2003 2 out of 6 found this review helpful I've seen every single Ali G DvD out, but this is by far the best. Can comedy get much funnier than this? No, not really no. You see when it comes to hummiliating the police force infront of America, asking questions like: "When you visited the moon, were the people who lived there friendly?" pretending to be from Kasakstan trying to get a date in central America and telling fart jokes and asking about sex at a dinner party with the goverment, this is the one to watch!!!!
