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

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Like Ali G Then This Is Your Sort of Film, 2 May 2006
By milesfb (Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
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 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.

Thanks,

Miles

5.0 out of 5 stars Ali G In Da House -- IT'S GOOD!!, 6 Jul 2002
I saw Ali G In Da House in a Sneak Preview and I found it quite entertaining.
It's some comedy in the style of Mel Brooks films but Ali G makes the difference.

While loaded with pretty much "stupid" scenes the film overall delivers!
Some people went out of the cinema... the remaining 98 % laughed all the evening through!

I think the movie has soul and love in it and a lot of "British trademark" humour!
Didn't know that Ali G is from UK because I only knew him from Madonna's Music-Video or Me Julie with Shaggy...

Loved the movie... I'm waiting for the DVD!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Transition to big screen for Ali G, 22 Mar 2009
By Alex DaLarge (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
The question is - can a tv programme make the jump to the big screen without losing its charm.

In this case, the transition to the big screen is a success (but only just), it's similar to Kevin & Perry Go Large in that it's basically just ridiculous from start to finish - but the writers know this and capitalise on it.

An ambitious politician wants to take over as prime minister, so he gets Ali G to stand for a by-election in the hope that G will lose the election and the prime minister will have to stand down.

Ali G MP - not quite as daft as it sounds when you think of how thick a lot of real MPs are. In this respect the film actually has quite a satirical edge that they don't really expolit and should have.

All in all the silliness works fine for the first hour and there's a few proper laughs here, but after an hour the film's charm wears off and a bit of effort is required to get through the last 20 minutes.
