Unwissentlich wird Ali G in ein Komplott verwickelt, das den britischen Premierminister und seine Regierung stürzen soll. Der Plan misslingt, als Ali mit seinem unnachahmlichen chauvinistischen Humor von der gesamten Nation als Stimme des Volkes und der Jugend ins Herz geschlossen wird - und damit dem Premierminister zu ganz neuem Ruhm verhilft. (Verleiher-Text)

What I find to be the most incomprehensible thing about a film whose humour is so transparently comprehensible is the bizarre coincidence that all of these British gentlemen (Michael Gambon, Charles Dance and Martin Freeman) are involved in ninety raucous minutes of jokes based on the massiveness of Ali’s private parts and the smallness of Ali’s intellect. Cohen is not the first to have no problem with acting like an idiot for money, nor will he be the last. 60%

Repsekt! Or R35P3K7!?

Sasha Cohen is absolutely perfect as the wannabe rapper Ali G. But only in short sketches and mystification bogus interviews with celebrities. Not in feature-length format where the few excellent gags are hidden in a pile of unfunny humor and satire that isn’t satirical. It’s terrible to see him wrecking all the work he did on carefully forming this alter ego. Cohen (and Ali G too) can do much better. And those couple of flawless gags do nothing to change that.

This was a bit too awkwardly humorous at times and I was more embarrassed than laughing (and I usually like this kind of thing). Sacha Baron Cohen is a pervert, no question about it. It's watchable, but there are plenty of better comedies out there. 55%.

A terribly, terribly stupid thing that is so embarrassing and stupid that it perhaps needs to be respected. -)

Some might call it nonsense, but this film shows that Sacha Baron Cohen is not just some idiot making faces; his jokes actually have meaning. Yes, it’s clearly quite offbeat at times, but you’ll still feel like it’s trying to say something to you. Even though he comes across as the biggest idiot in the film, in the end, he's not the biggest jerk. Some scenes are still entertaining even today.
