Ali G Indahouse


Ali G Indahouse (2002)
Seen on DVD 17th Sept 2008

Before "Borat" got famous, Sacha Baron Cohen was Ali G: a gangsta from West Staines.

STORY: 4.5/7
Ali G and his posse want to save the local community centre, and in the process he gets the attention of the Prime Minister's people. In a crazy scheme, Ali ends up running as a member of parliament, and does his bit to better the country by keeping it real.

ACTING: 5/7
Sacha Baron Cohen is just so good at his characters. You could be forgiven for forgetting that Cohen is actually an intelligent man. Rhona Mitra also stars as the skanky assistant of the Deputy Prime Minister.

SCORE / SOUND: 5.5/7
The score for this movie is FUN FUN FUN. Huge sweeping orchestras make a brilliant contrast to Ali G in all his G-ness.


OVERALL: 5/7
