\u201cAli G Indahouse\u201d is a lot like that funny joke you told someone, and you kept telling it to people; and the more you told it, the less funny it got. That\u2019s the sad thing here that Sasha Baron Cohen should have learned; sometimes you just can\u2019t take a funny character and extend it into an hour and a half film because it\u2019s very hard to muster up enough material for a large amount of time. It\u2019s not that \u201cAli G Indahouse\u201d is bad\u2014well it\u2019s bad\u2014but it\u2019s also unfunny, very unfunny. Not once did I laugh, not even with Martin Freeman from \u201cThe Office\u201d co-starring, not once did I chuckle or guffaw, seriously this was so damn stupid and painfully obvious in its jokes.<\/p>\n
From being shined by a blind man strapped to a gate, to \u201cThree\u2019s Company\u201d type sexual confusion situations, to yelling \u201cbooyakasha\u201d, a once funny catchphrase, at every damn minute of the film, it was all so damn obvious and ridiculous to watch. Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, anyone who reads my reviews knows I love British comedy, and I\u2019m a fan of Ali G\u2019s, but this is just such a stupid film. Cohen exhausts everything that makes his character funny in here, from his clich\u00e9 shtick of a white man trying to act gangsta, to a wannabe gangsta calling women bitches and hoes, yelling \u201cbooyakasha\u201d and \u201crespek\u201d; gimme a break. This is embarrassing.<\/p>\n
The film makes no sense whatsoever. And then there the ridiculously hot Rhona Mitra whose made the usual straight man\/love interest as these women always are in these types of comedies as she\u2019s here only to react to his antics looking as if she lost a bet to star alongside Cohen here. Ali G in five minute sketches? Hilarious spoofing, and great sticking it to the uptight politicians, Ali G in an hour and a half film?<\/p>\n
A stupid idiotic, homophobic moron who isn\u2019t worth watching, and how did that happen? What was lost in the translation from small sketches into large story?\u00a0I have no idea, but the end result was not funny. People who watch this film before his show will be turned off immediately, and won\u2019t bother to check out the great comedy he brings about in his sketch show, but trust me, watch the show first, don\u2019t bother with this idiocy. This is such a dreadful attempt to market on Ali G’s fame and he should be embarrassed with himself for such a trite, bland predictable piece of garbage that didn’t spark a bit of laughter from me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
