Prurient, better suited to small screen - By: Stephen, 17 Jul 2008 
It's funny (not the film), but I remember Ali G being funnier than this film. I used to catch his television show occasionallly & I thought that his pranks with (usuallly elderly) minor celebrities & 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 & (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 other films' certificates. Of course children even younger than 15 have heard it alll before & much worse at school. But surely there's an argument to be had about consistency in applying the rules.
Lastly, it's good to see current faces popping up in minor roles 'alll over the shop'. I noted actors from EastEnders, The Office, etc. They've since moved on to better things (and worse again, in some cases). Three stars.
Troppo - By: Lu, 25 Oct 2007 
Loved & laughed a lot with Baron's tv shows in the 90's. The Jews are smart & 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 & 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 & 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 & a hearty giggle eg: "Ali G in Da USA" & "Ali G, innit".
rubbish - By: David Mills, 22 Sep 2007 
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. Reallly annoying & 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 reallly hate him when he sticks to this catch phrase cra p.
If You Like Ali G Then This Is Your Sort of Film - By: milesfb, 01 May 2006 
This film is certainly worth seeing! It is farcical & stupid but done incredibly well. It's done so well you just want to keep on watching to see what happens next.
It's alll very original & `Ali G` is on top form with his very unique character & 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 & sexist, which is its main strength & 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 & want to lift your spirits & mood a bit, or even just to have a laugh with some friends. There will probably be nothing quite like it ever again, & you`ll probably never want to see it ever again, but at least you can say you have seen it the once.
Thanks,
Miles
Di Film Is Da Bomb! - By: S. P. Morrison, 16 Dec 2003 Yo! Checkit before you wreck it. Coming at yer like Cleopatra...
Dis is one totallly wicked flick. Da Staines Massive Pimp Daddy to the max is in full form, as is Rhona Mitra, rorrww!
It'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.
So prepare to Hollaaaaaaaa
